Homosexuality cannot be "caught" like a virus or "taught" like a skill.

That's like saying a woman who was sexually abused with sadistic sexual violence as a child would never embrace such a practice as an adult. That's like saying that any number of sexual thrills picked up as a child--be they heterosexual, homosexual, or whatever, aren't translated into adulthood.

What? You're saying that children can never be trained to engage in deviant sexual or violent behavior? That a child who is hit as an adult won't hit as a parent unless he is genetically predisposed? That a boy who is raped as a child won't have at least a slight % more propensity to rape a child as an adult?

I mean how many prostitutes or those in the sexual entertainment industry will tell you they were abused as minors by heterosexuals? What? That sexual behavior didn't influence their current lifestyles? What? These folks are simply (and only) acting out their genetic sexual orientation?

Just because with some people you cannot trace the source of their sexual direction, does not mean it's all in the genes. See post #75 for more details.

There is a difference between pedophilia and homosexuality. Heterosexuals can be pedophiles too. A homosexual is by definition an adult interested in adults of the same sex.
