This one always confuses me. So are you suggesting that they’re only homosexual WHILE they’re actually having sex with someone of the same sex?

If someone steals, is he or she only a thief while he or she is committing the theft? If someone intentionally, with fore thought and malice, stabs another to death, is he or she only a murder while killing the other person?

On the other hand, if some merely thinks about taking something that rightfully belongs to another, but takes no action, is he or she a thief? Similarly, if a person becomes so angry with another, that they fantasize about stabbing that person, is the day dreamer a murderer?

Do the answers to these questions clear up your confusion?

… how long does the effect last, afterwards?

How long after committing a theft is one a thief? How long after committing first degree homicide does the perpetrator remain a murderer?

What about someone who had a same-sex encounter once in prison twenty years ago, but got out and never looked back?

In deed, what about someone who intentionally cut anther person’s leg off as part of a gang ritual once twenty year ago, and never looked back?

What about those who are raped by others of the same sex? Does the act have to be voluntary?

If a bystander is shot by a thief in the course of a robbery, is the person who was shot guilty of theft?

Do you have to have sex with the opposite sex to be heterosexual, or are there heterosexual virgins out there?

Except for extremely rare cases of gynandromorphy, every person, even a homosexual behavior practitioner, is born heterosexual in that the person has the genitalia of one sex or the other.

Do you seriously think that there’s no difference between a guy who has the hots for guys and one who has the hots for girls, as long as they’ve never had sex?

Is there a difference between a guy who has the hots for sheep and one who has the hots for girls?

Would you distinguish between which one you’d want to marry your daughter?

Have you ever heard of something called a false dichotomy?

I think this idea that sexual orientation is a non-entity is really misleading. Are you suggesting that Peter Pace could become just as homosexual as Elton John by getting drunk and having one sexual encounter with a dude?

Could Peter Pace become just as much a murderer as Sirhan Sirhan by getting drunk and shooting just one dude?

Okay — I get your analogy with theft and murder, but your suggestion that the only thing that separates homosexuals and heterosexuals is behavioral still makes no sense to me. Even Jesus suggested that what’s in one’s heart is what’s important when it comes to such things as theft and lust.

When you say “...every person...is born heterosexual in that the person has the genitalia of one sex or the other” you are asserting that it’s something other than behavior that determines sexual orientation, namely the genitalia. I can see how they would determine sex, but not sexual orientation. You say that a person is a homosexual if he has sex with those of the same sex. People don’t change genitalia when they have same-sex encounters. Are they then both heterosexuals and homosexuals at the same time, even if they’ve never had sex with the opposite sex?

“Is there a difference between a guy who has the hots for sheep and one who has the hots for girls?”

I would say YES there IS a difference between the two. Wouldn’t you agree?

“Have you ever heard of something called a false dichotomy?”

I have — are you arguing that whether a virgin male is attracted to men or to women is a false dichotomy, and that you’d be equally happy to have either guy marry your daughter?
