Can we just get over this ridiculous "born" or "bred" argument? Why so stuck in the "either-or"? It's really irrelevant!

Do you know anybody with a defect who got it from birth? Do you know of anybody with a defect who got it after they were born (from an accident or from abuse)? Of course -- it's both. In either case, we rightly treat the defect -- whether they were born with it or got it from abuse or an "accident."

In the same way, it's so irrelevant whether those suffering same-sex attraction got it from their genes or from their experiences. Neither is an "excuse" for avoiding treating that defect -- a defect that they can get treated. And they should.

The more people argue born or bred, the more angry people get. Just address healing the defect -- something real -- and let go of the hypothetical excuses.

Yeah, but you can't make a buck with a logical approach such as yours.

Just the opposite. It's extremely relevant to the homosexual lobby in that if homosexuality is genetic it would acquire the same protected status as skin color.

"In either case, we rightly treat the defect -- whether they were born with it or got it from abuse or an "accident."

How do you go about treating a voluntary "defect"? How do you treat an obese person who wants to eat?
