"It is a choice, not a genetic trait"

When did the genome project determine that nobody is born that way?

The Genome Project didn't involve the search for genetic causes of diseasese, disorders and/or behaviors. It mapped existing genes throughout our human population. Your implausible reply there (that "the genome project" didn't "determine that nobody (was) born that way" or did) would be like telling someone that Google Maps didn't write prescriptions so therefore no prescription for anything existed.

There has been no genetic proof or substantiation that homosexuality is "immutable." That means, no one has been able to ever isolate any genetic cause.

Despite the pleas and insistences of some that homosexuality is an immutable characteristic (that people "are born homosexual"), it is not proven to be the case and remains just that: a personal opinion and in the case of many, an obsession. Neither of those things establishes scientific proof.

So, homosexuality remains a behavior. It's not immutable.

"So, homosexuality remains a behavior. It's not immutable"You still have not proved your assumption. Everything in your post proves my point. We don't know.

ACTIONS are what is important and why it is so hard for certain people on the FR to understand this Conservative point of view is beyond belief.

Sometimes I have a desire to punch some stupid posters in the face. Genetic anger (my father had a temper) or choice, I don't know and don't care, the point is I don't punch people in the face because I have freewill and don't give into such desires.

How many times have we all seen someone of the opposite sex and would love to jump into bed yet we don't? Genetics more than likely create the desire or do you suggest heterosexual behavior is only a learned desire?

Why is this so hard to understand? The left has the "Cause" market cornered and we should not thirst to emulate their error. They are more concerned with the reason some maggot abused a child or stole something,etc than the action itself. Stupid thinking IMO.
