There is no gene. It’s been searched for. It , by all modern standards of medical science, does not exist.
Are you telling me that today, right now, we know all there is to know about human genetics? That is just as riduculous as saying we know all there is to know about the solar system.
Do you agree that humans, like the animal kingdom at large, are created to procreate? All species are designed to perpetuate themselves. Species that fail to do so have, for whatever reason (meteors, volcanic eruption, or whatever) lost the ability to adapt or were not given enough time to adapt.
At the heart of this process are genes. If a person of one sex finds him or her self attracted to the same sex there is something terribly wrong with that person’s genetic makeup. Obviously, the problem may be more profound in some and less profound in others. Hence, we have people who are attracted to both sexes equally. Or we have people whose problem is realtively mild compared to others. Perhaps it is this group that might benefit from counseling or whatever.
Finally, if there is not a genetic component to homosexuallity, how do you explain the behavior? I remember a story a few years back about a boy whose testicles were “accidentally” cut off at birth while being circumcized. His parents actually raised him as a girl. But when he bacame an adult he reverted to his male self—despite all those years of female conditioning. Actually married—a girl.
IMO, homosexuallity is no different than being born with hemophilia, Down’s Syndrome, or any other human aberration.
Having said that, they remain God’s children and deserve being loved just like anyone else.
