World Magazine has a good article about "Born that way" in which the writer spells out "so what" - meaning we are all born with desires we have to resist - but most of us realize that we shouldn't want the law to justify the desires that are harmful to self or others or are just down right perverse.

***meaning we are all born with desires we have to resist ***

Exactly!!! Imagine what would happen if we all could "justify" our desires to steal, cheat, run over the pedestrian who walked in front of us, ram the car that cut us off, etc., etc., etc.

We may find someone attractive (who is married, too young, a relative, same sex, etc.) but only one group seems to think that they should be encouraged to act on their desire.

Yes. Jeffrey Dahmer may have been born 'that way.'
