If that's true, then it could be considered a sort of birth defect.
Birth defects like cleft palate can be cured.
Many ex-homosexuals say that they have been cured and are no longer homosexual.
Does Rosie support the efforts of people who try to cure homosexuals and save them from their anguish? If not why not?
I remember back in the 70’s, they were doing research about, I think they called it “imprinting”. Anyway, the posit was that whatever your first, or first of several, pleasurable encounters were would “imprint” your sexual response. For some people that I knew back then, it was like turning on a light switch. I guess all reasonable research has been abandoned.
back around 1970 my father flew back from business in Europe with only two other passengers in First Class. One was Ava Gardner and the other was Richard Chamberlain.
Chamberlain was rude to both my father and Ava Gardner. My father and Ms Gardner got along well and spent several hours discussing a script she was considering for a cameo in a Paul Newman movie, The Life And Times of Judge Roy Bean. From the time I learned that story I haven’t liked Chamberlain (though I liked Shogun).
Finding out he was gay several years ago explained a lot. If he hated himself so much, as this article explains, then it’s no surprise that he was a miserable putz to others.
Poor baby! Whoa is me.
There are other positions as well.
Science has failed to support the born that way theory and from what I've read, scientists who are also homosexual have stated they never will find a gay gene or any science supporting the born that way theory. I believe they make the above statements because science has, repeatedly, demonstrated environment plays a major factor.
But if homosexuals are not born that way and they don't choose their same-sex attraction, what other positions exist? That's a great question with a complicated answer.
Former homosexuals or ex-gays exist, some of whom are freepers and their numbers are growing. I posted the Michael Glatze story a couple of days ago. Michael was the founding editor of Young Gay America magazine. Charlene Cothran, longtime publisher of Venus magazine is another. Both Michael and Charlene were leaders in the homosexual community.
The I Do Exist video documents the lives of 5 former homosexuals.
The common theme we see in each story is the claim that their same-sex attraction wasn't a choice... but neither were they born that way... What former homosexuals tell us is their same-sex attraction wasn't a choice because they were confused. The science behind homosexuality is complex and can only be understood by studying all the available evidence.
Michael Glatze says:
Part of the homosexual agenda is getting people to stop considering that conversion is even a viable question to be asked, let alone whether or not it works.That much is obvious for those having followed the homosexual agenda for years but it's good to see a former leader in the homosexual community make such an honest statement.
Of course there are those who claim to be Queer By Choice and there are others who have previously admitted to choosing the homosexual lifestyle.
The issue is definitely complicated.
I think it’s odd that people on this forum dwell so much on the question of whether homosexuality is inborn or developed post-birth. Whether it is genetic, or hormonal, or learned.
Those questions might matter to the activists on either side who seek to make petty arguments this way or that way.. I guarantee the average homosexual doesn’t give two sh*ts how he came to be attracted to the same sex. He doesn’t care why he likes the same sex because he can’t imagine being any other way. He doesn’t want to be. Activists opposing “the homosexualization of America” should focus on convincing homosexuals that they should want to be heterosexual, or they should drop the issue altogether. Everything else is “sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

How are transvestites born wanting to wear the clothes of the other sex? We are born naked. Clothing is dictated by fashion and culture.
There may be a desire to dress like a girl but it doesn’t come from deep inside BEING part girl. It is a fetish. And for some like Edward D. Wood Jr., the director and porno novel writer, it didn’t even spring from being swishy. He was a heterosexual male.
