Our physiology defines the default. We are made so that a male fits into a female. Everything else is maladaption. Heterosexuality is the default.
Now assuming that there is another default called 'homosexuality' where is the genetic marker for it? Where is the biological proof? Where is the resistance to certain feces born diseases that should be present in those 'defaulted' to that behavior? IT DOESN'T EXIST! because there is no other default. Mentally healthy people are heterosexual, only when damaged do they become something else.
Now, if homosexuality is a choice, then you need to convince me that you can make yourself chose to be attracted to other men (I am assuming you to be a male based on your FR name)...I can't, but apparently, you think that you can.
No man can 'make himself choose' however others can make that choice for you. That's why NAMBLA and other homosexual recruiting agencies are so keen on molesting the children when they are young. Molestation is the most common cause of SAD. As stated before, 'identifying with your attacker' is a common psychological defense mechanism that can be, and has been used in brainwashing.
When the child is molested the first response is "what did I do wrong to deserve this?" The second response is to find some way to relieve the guilt (even though you have nothing to be guilty of you instinctively know that you did something unnatural). This is normally done by rationalizing the behavior "Well maybe what we did wasn't really wrong? maybe I'm supposed to act this way. After all (my attacker) likes boys maybe I'm supposed to also". Bingo! recruitment accomplished.
I've been there and this is exactly what happens. I've also seen this in lots of other molestation victims and interviews of people in 'brainwash' type situations.
Now I know you'll state that no one could make you that way. And right now you are correct, you're too old and set in your ways. But take a young impressionable child, who's still determining who they are and what they really believe, and subject them to pschological torture such as molestation and you can warp their entire being to be whatever you want them to be. If done correctly you can manufacture almost anything you want.
Look at the palistinian children. These kids have been twisted to hate with a hatred far beyond their years or understanding. Children are naturally accepting and don't hate unless taught it. But Pali kids hate jews. Most of them have probably never even met a Jew. but they hate them. They've been brainwashed
That's an incredibly ignorant statement, you obviously again believe that a heterosexual can make the choice of having sex with a member of the same sex without first being a homosexual.
I wasn't. I was molested by a friend of my brother. I had only interest in girls up to that point (as much as any 10 year old does that is.) I never knew or even imagined the types of things that were done to me and if I had I would have thought they were gross. I never would have chosen to do those things. But that choice wasn't mine. Those things were forced upon me.
It is only by the grace of God that I was delivered from what would have been. And it took years of struggle to finally understand and heal and forgive. Everyone who is practicing homosexual behavior is mentally ill, they have been damaged somehow. No one chooses to be 'homosexual' but most have swallowed the "you were born that way" lie and choose to remain ill rather than seek help.
If that man had sex with "Mr. X", then obviously he was a homosexual.
Elian was obviously a big Fidel Castro supporter as he returned to Cuba.
Both statements are equally stupid. Elian was FORCED to go to Cuba. Most 'homosexuals' were FORCED for their first 'homosexual' experience. (Note that I include seduction and manipulation of children as being forced. The kids don't have the maturity to resist these things)
I have asked that question, and the answer has always been, "I have always known that I was a homosexual".
With enough searching you can always find some damage that was done to these people. Either molested as very small children or having an absent/insufficent/abnormal relationship with their father or being relentlessly teased by their peers during the early years. Tell a 6 year old he's gay enough times and he'll believe you. They may not remember it, the mind has a way of blocking out traumas that are too much to bear, but it happened.
No one is born 'gay', they are recruited or damaged into that disease.
With enough searching you can always find some damage that was done to every single individual on this planet. You will also find myriads of children who were molested and did not become homosexuals, destroying your theory that homosexuality is the by product of molestation, because in order for that to hold true, the reverse would have to hold true as well, and all molested children would have to become homosexuals.
But this discussion has nothing to do with the subject at hand, which is whether same sex marriages should be allowed or not, unless of course, you want to raise the argument that homosexuals should not be allowed to marry because homosexuality is a mental disorder.
Is that your point?
Or is your point that citizens who were traumatized during childhood should not be allowed to marry because they are "damaged"?
