This means that "they aren't born that way"?
Incredible. Who knew? //sarcasm now off

[RobbyS]

Homosexuality is a kind of neuroses, or a symptom of it.

[IronJack]

Any word on the incidence of homosexuality among children raised by homosexuals?

[US Navy guy]

"Parental Influences on Sexual Orientation Development" like MAYBE no FATHER in the home ONLY mostly overbearing Maternal influaces.

[pabianice]

"Screech! Homophobia!"

[kuma]

Interesting study. I've read quite a bit from their website. It's good to know there are people out there who didn't go along with the removal of homosexual preferences from the mental illness list.

[Jeff Chandler]

no FATHER in the home ONLY mostly overbearing Maternal influaces.

Obviously. Identification with the mother, a craving for the male bonding he never got, etc..

[ScubieNuc]

This can make for an interesting reply to those who say "Who would choose such a lifestyle?" The reply could be along the line of..."According to studies, your parents help choose it for you."

Not that any reply will really have much of an impact on those in the homosexual lifestyle.

Then in the inner city homosexuality should be rampant-its not

[SandRat]

"Whatever ingredients determine a person's sexual preferences and marital choices," conclude the study's authors, "our population-based study shows that parental interactions are important."

Gee same thing that we conservatives have been saying all along; a real Dad and Mom that stay married and raise the children is Key to a NORMAL HEALTHY HAPPY adult. What a surprise!

[Screamname]

This is all nonsense. All gay men are formed by finding Helen Thomas naked in their bed.

[AntiGuv]

Why do the study's authors assume that the cohort of homosexuals and heterosexuals who marry is a representative sample of the entire population of homosexuals or heteresoxuals respectively?

[SandRat]

...finding Helen Thomas naked in their bed.

No,.... that's a legitimate cause for committing hari-kari or it's evidence of the inhumane treatment of prisoners at Club GITMO.

ALERT!

The following are findings from this new data:


Men who marry homosexually are more likely to have been raised in a family with unstable parental relationships -- particularly, absent or unknown fathers and divorced parents.
Findings on women who marry homosexually were less pronounced, but were still associated with a childhood marked by a broken family. The rates of same-sex marriage "were elevated among women who experienced maternal death during adolescence, women with short duration of parental marriage, and women with long duration of mother-absent cohabitation with father."
Men and women with "unknown fathers" were significantly less likely to marry a person of the opposite sex than were their peers with known fathers.
Men who experienced parental death during childhood or adolescence "had significantly lower heterosexual marriage rates than peers whose parents were both alive on their 18th birthday. The younger the age of the father's death, the lower was the likelihood of heterosexual marriage."
"The shorter the duration of parental marriage, the higher was the likelihood of homosexual marriage...homosexual marriage rates were 36% and 26% higher among men and women, respectively, who experienced parental divorce after less than six years of marriage, than among peers whose parents remained married for all 18 years of childhood and adolescence."
"Men whose parents divorced before their 6th birthday were 39% more likely to marry homosexually than peers from intact parental marriages."
"Men whose cohabitation with both parents ended before age 18 years had significantly (55% -76%) higher rates of homosexual marriage than men who cohabited with both parents until 18 years."
The mother's age was directly linked to the likelihood of homosexual marriage among men -- the older the mother, the more likely her son was to marry another man. Also, "only children" were more likely to be homosexual.

Persons born in large cities were significantly more likely to marry a same-sex partner -- suggesting that cultural factors might also affect the development of sexual orientation.


Want to READ testimonies from FORMER HOMOSEXUALS that supplies DETAILS to the ABOVE?

Come on over -> http://www.exodusglobalalliance.org/testimoniess17.php

It is a WELL KNOWN FACT that NO ONE, I repeat NO ONE is born HOMOSEXUAL.

I shudder and grieve for children that are adopted by THESE UTTER PERVERTS.

SHAME ON THEM!

[Graymatter]

Or something like that. My theory, admittedly half-baked, is that since sex is so ancient, our wiring is too, and it is modified in primitive ways. Much like the way a duckling follows the first mother that walks by, even if she's a possum. This does us humans no credit, of course, but then sex often makes fools of us even if we do encounter the right critter.

[Jeff Chandler]

Then in the inner city homosexuality should be rampant-its not

What is rampant in the inner cities is casual promiscuity. Obsessive promiscuity, the hallmark of homosexuality, is a sign of sexual insecurity. (For this reason Ann Coulter said that Bill Clinton is not the first black president, but the first homosexual president.)

Sexually obsessive heterosexual men are basically insecure about their masculinity, so they set out to prove their manhood with their conquests. So what you see in the inner city is different manifestation of the same pathology.
