Thats the common sense part Josh, you dont need a PHD to read DATA objectively.
Speaking of politics, what member of the APA can give a negative opinion of homosexuals and not be a victim serious reprisal? The answer is NONE! The APA is its own political action committee.
You said: If you no longer have same-sex attraction ... you no longer are homosexual. Its pretty simple.
But if you do have the attraction, you are therefore still homosexual. It's pretty simple. (Just turning your own words around.)
The question is: what percentage of the population has those attractions? What percentage act on it? You do admit they're different things. If it's so "common", you should have some idea the difference between "I am a football player" and "I play football on weekends."
The APA is its own political action committee.
That's not the issue. The issue is your incorrect use of data.
