If people are "born" homosexual, then why are they always trying to recruit more homosexuals?
HA Ping.
Better yet, why are they always against any medical studies to reverse what is, after all, a 'genetic disease'?
Excellent question.
Perverts.
If people were born homosexual, then EVERY set of identical twins (male or female) would be either both heterosexual or homosexual/lesbian. Find just ONE set of identical twins that has one twin that is heterosexual and the other homosexual and that destroys their "born that way" argument.
I never understood people who on the one hand say, "It's my choice, I can do whatever I want" and then they say, "I can't help it, I was born that way." Of course, anyone who questions the contradiction is called "intolerant."
These gay activists simply do not believe in human freedom. If someone wants to try and pursue change of orientation, who is this jerk to tell them they can't try it. If it does or doesn't work in a particular case, what is it to him? And given how complex sexuality can be, how can one generalize that no one anywhere can ever experience a change in orientation or at least a shift to some extent?
I think the most accepted school of thought among psychologists and sociologists is that ones sexuality is determined during childhood and that once it becomes established it's next to impossible to change. That's why the recidivism rate among child molesters is so high.
In yet another frontal attack on ex-gay ministries, a well-known homosexual activist held a press conference at the National Press Club last week to launch a new organization that he has dubbed Truth Wins Out.
I have a name idea for his group; how about "Biology Wins Out!"
--any other ideas?
Gay groups are desparately afraid that it will be unquestionably proven that being 'gay' is just an ethical problem and they are basically just unethical in their persuit of unbridled hedonism.
I haven't watched a lot of National Press Club events, but this is the first that I know of that ended with no questions. It sort of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?
This is such a complex issue, far more complicated that being 'born' homosexual, or it being a 'choice'.
My own opinion is that 'homosexual orientation' manifests from numerous circumstances, which would enable some to be cured through therapy, and others not.
Here are some possible suggested 'varieties', thrown into the pot for concideration:
1. 'homosexual orientation' is formed while in the womb - in this case it isn't genetic, but would be unlikely to be curable through therapy (these might be cases where physical features and manerisms attributed to homosexuals are present).
2. 'homosexual orientation' is 'learned' because of sexual abuse during childhood - therapy might work, since this isn't necesarily a 'chemical' formation as in the womb, but it has been imposed during vulnerable formative years.
3. a homosexual practitioner who is simply prone to sexual addiction, and does it because it's 'interestingly perverted'
4. 'homosexual practitioners' who have been encouraged into it during teen years, and decided they like it
This provides a real variety of 'types' of homosexual.
(More in my profile.)
I believe it to be blinkered to say that every homosexual can be cured of homosexual desires -- just as saying that homosexuality cannot be cured is also equally as blinkered.
It really isn't so simple.
This said... all of these cases are disorders and deviant perversions of nature. Even if cases were proved to be incurable, or individuals chose not to accept therapy, it doesn't make acting on their sexual desires with others a right or good thing.
There is such a thing as abstainance, or private mastabation, where society isn't 'polluted' by the disorder. The offer of cure is a very positive thing, for those who might benefit from it. For others, they need educating to accept that they have a disorder, and that indulging it with others is a dangerous and destructive path.
