According to one compelling theory I have read, all embryos start out female - until a gene on the Y chromosome switches on and bathes the cells in testosterone. From that moment on, the embryo’s development becomes male. If the gene switches on even a day late, the brain becomes hardwired to homosexuality.

I know this theory does not explain lesbians (some percentage of whom choose to be with other women), but I do think it’s a plausible explanation of homosexuality.

And it is possible that a homosexual boy gives off telltale signs recognizable to another homosexual, so when he is seduced by an adult male it’s child sexual abuse, to be sure, but not “grooming” since the boy is already gay even if he is too young to clearly understand why he is “different” from other boys.

Having said all that, I reiterate that there is a difference between lifestyle and sexual orientation. And no matter what gays say certain behaviors many of them engage in are deviant, abnormal and immoral. If that’s gay-bashing I’ll live with it. I am required by law not to discriminate against anyone, but that doesn’t mean I have to stand up on my hind legs an applaud everything everyone does. There are limits to my tolerance.

If the gene switches on even a day late, the brain becomes hardwired to homosexuality.

The concept of "hardwiring" in the brain is under in-depth review in the areas of traumatic brain injury, stroke and other not-so-political types of brain function. Researchers are finding surprising levels of "rewiring", or ability to grow new brain pathways, that were previously thought impossible. They are also finding enlarged areas of the brain linked to repeated behaviors, such as greater numbers of cells in the musical ability area of a violinist, et cetera. The brain is much more capable of change than the gay lobby wants scientists to say.

Don’t read this article by Dennis Prager if direct language offends you; but, this is what I believe:

What you wrote here is an interesting idea, but isn’t it contrary to Scripture, which teaches that people choose to sin? Why? because it is not the will of God that any should perish
