March 27, 2004 -- WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry says he believes people are born gay but are not guaranteed the right to marry within their own gender. "I think it's entirely who you are from birth, personally," Kerry said in an interview to be telecast on MTV.

I agree with you. Many conservatives reject the notion of a "gay gene", but it's really nothing more than what you've said; a manefestation of original sin.

Some are naturally greedy, but stealing is still wrong. Some are naturally ill-tempered, but murder is still wrong.

Being born with the problem isn't a license to practice your pet vice.

"they feel the NEED for their sexuality to be "born" into them so they can use the same defense/excuses as the disabled, or racial minorities"

That pretty much nails it. You can't base minority status on a chosen behavior, or knuckle-crackers and comb-overs would be minorities, too.

Nymphomania almost certainly has a genetic component

Really? Where are your facts to back it up

Sexual appetite can be affected by hormones, which can in turn affected by a variety of genetic and congenital factors.

My point, though, is that even if genes would cause one person to have a greater sexual appetite than another, that does not mean that people with unusually voracious sexual appetites receive, as a consequence of that appetite, the right to do whatever it takes to satisfy it.

I found that Kerry has even flip-flopped on this issue! Here's something I posted in another thread:

 

I think he flip-flops right here:

"I think it's entirely who you are from birth, personally," Kerry said in an interview to be telecast on MTV.

"Some people might choose, but I think that it's, it's who you are . . . People need to be able to be who they are."

 

So... which is it? Entirely from birth, or is it a choice? Yeesh!

 

 

Father, forgive me for saying it, but I think this man's retarded.

I didn't even catch *that* flip-flop. Nice work!
