Homosexuals believe everybody must believe the way they do.They want to do to society what they do to each other.

Yep! Just like Islamist extremists. Funny how they are linked, huh?
Homos LUUUUUV the “Free Palestine” movement.
Sorry, but I don't.
Why does anyone care? Homos are a joke and I just ignore them. I generally do not even care to talk about them even when they are not around. What is the point?
Its a mental disorder. And was properly classified as such 40 years ago.
Sorry, but I think the author is off base on this subject. "Born that way" is the pro-homosexual argument and the title of an awful pop song by a disillusioned pop singer. The comment about the brain is also completely ridiculous. This kind of ignorance only fuels the belief that conservatives are knuckle dragging idiots.
Faggies think they own the rest of us. Chick Fil-A was supposed to be out of business by now.

“I strongly suspect homosexuals so desperately want people to believe what they are doing is all right because these homosexuals have doubts about the morality of what they are doing. They want others to reassure them that they aren’t acting immorally.
“Those who really believe what they are doing is morally ok don’t care if others think the activity is wrong.”
Exactly. They’re like overgrown preschoolers who want mommy and daddy(in the form of the state) to assure them what they’re doing is OK by criminalizing disagreement with them.
There is still no scientific evidence to support the born that way theory. None. On the other hand, there is plenty of scientific evidence the environment in which we are raised is key. Even scientists with an attraction to the same sex do not believe they will ever find evidence homosexuals are born that way. Of course, you won't hear that from the media. You have to actually read the scientific studies.
Actually, there’s a study from a few years ago that involved brain dissection. There’s a bundle of nerves that runs around the hypothalamus which is much smaller in females than in males.
The researchers found that men who identified as transgender had the smaller “female” sized bundle but men who identified as gay had the normal male size.
What a badly written article. I’m surprised this came from townhall.
Very strange.
Your “article” is all over the map, thus being irrelevent to anyone over 12.
I'm not going to ask you to do something for which I don't already know the answer.

This is it, in a nutshell. This is why their agenda has been so pervasive and invasive.
That’s because it was posted in the Townhall blogs section, not the online magazine.
There’s a 100% chance that if you go back and actually bother to read what I posted, you’ll discover I said the researchers found that there was no structural difference in the hypothalamus between men who are straight and men who identify as homosexual.
What they found were differences with men who self-identified as women, which has absolutely nothing to do with sexual attractions but tends to support the long-held idea that transgenders are males with estrogen-induced brain damage.

Theres a bundle of nerves that runs around the hypothalamus which is much smaller in females than in males.Your "Actually" implies what I said wasn't correct when what I said was 100% correct. There is still no scientific evidence homosexuals are born that way.The researchers found that men who identified as transgender had the smaller female sized bundle but men who identified as gay had the normal male size.
And if the study to which you refer is from Simon Levay, even he doesn't believe his study supports the born that way theory. Here is what Levay said regarding his hypothalamus study: I did not prove that homosexuality is genetic, or find a genetic cause for being gay. I didn't show that gay men are 'born that way,' the most common mistake people make in interpreting my work."
If you're not referring to Levay's study, to what study are you referring?
Seriously. What the hell are you talking about?
I have stated twice - and will now reaffirm a third time - that there is no evidence homosexuals are “born that way”.
This is my third post on this thread and the third time I’ve agreed with you.
Do you get it now?
Let me say it a fourth time: there is no evidence that homosexuals are born with homosexual behavior tendencies.
Are we clear on that now? Good.
I said “Actually” because, like you, I take issue with the statement:
“[Homosexuals] are born with the body of one sex and the brain of the other.”
That’s a statement I’ve never heard used as a physiological reason for homosexual behavior but “actually” I have heard it used to describe what appears to be brain damage in male-to-female transgenders.
Transgenderism has nothing to do with sexual attraction. They are two completely different subjects.
I’ve never heard of Levay. I was referring to Kruijver. ...And the only reason I found that study the slightest bit credible is because Kruijver actually presents photos of the differences. The study is reprinted here: http://jcem.endojournals.org/content/85/5/2034.full
Your implication that I disagreed with you is a dishonest interpretation of my statements. It’s annoying. Please stop.
