You appear to be assuming that women who enjoy having sex with other women do so, at least a good portion of the time, as the result of their rejection of men. Nonsense. Women seem to me to be much more pliable in this area. Most of the women I've dated have had same sex encounters or at least same sex fantasies at one point or another, and in no way did they seem to be the result of their rejection of men. I was at an informal dinner party not so long ago with my girlfriends best friend and her husband. After a few drinks, the husband tried to bribe his wife to kiss my girlfriend. The specifics don't really matter, but the end result of this was me and the husband in question watching our significant others make out. I think we both know what'd happen if you tried to get 2 heterosexual guys to do that.

I am not talking about that. We may have differing views on that, but it doesn't matter. I'm addressing women who are homosexual as a result of rape or sexual abuse, particularly during childhood. I do not know the percentages, but I do know it happens. They need therapy.

I should point out though, that you argue here that the lines are blurred for women, and below that the lines are solid for men. Just a curious thing.

Part of the reason I reject the whole "they chose it" argument as ridiculous on its face is because I know that I, as a heterosexual man, could not possibly choose to change my sexual orientation to homosexual. Not sure that the lines are so clearly deliniated for many women.

The lines are clear for me. But I cannot imagine being raped or repeatedly molested as a child either. I can't imagine being a prostitute. I cannot even imagine being promiscuous. The monogomy lines are very clear for me, as are the marriage lines.

For that matter I cannot imagine being a thief, a murderer, a stipper, an alcoholic, I don't know...fill in the blank. Behavior is not inherited. Tastes and desires are pliable by culture, time, and experience. What made Jeffrey Dahmer desire to kill, dismember and eat his homosexual lovers? What made Ted Bundy desire to rape and kill women? Desire is not always normal.

Whether it is consciously chosen or not, it is not physically natural. Our bodies have clearly evolved to mate with the opposite sex. Whether people have the right to behave that way in a free society is one thing. Whether it is a good environment to raise children or an appropriate thing to teach in public schools is another.

I think that if the liberals end up legalizing homosexuality or it becomes "moral" thru hollywood, then just let them be. They cant do anything, they'll die off! What idiots.
