Homoesexuality is as natural as an other birth defect.
I think homosexuals were introduced to homosexuality at an early age, rewiring their emotional/physical response.
It spreads like a cancer among the very young.
Environmental influence = abuse by perverts.
Fifteen year ago I argued with a good friend, a twin expert, that homosexuality isn’t genetic. She is one of the totally PC PhDs in Psychology. She told me I didn’t understand research. I have worked on several research projects and her comment hurt our 30+ years friendship. I was right and she was wrong. Too bad I am not close with her anymore or I would have a terrific ‘I told you so’ moment.
So therefore, there is a genetic link to homosexuality.
Minor as it may be it does exist.
Thanks.
So you are accusing all the parents of gays and lesbians of being child abusers?
Unfortunately, that won't stop the pro-gay crowd from misrepresenting the data and overstating the minor factors as something of any significance. No, they'd rather hype the insignificant as, apparently, the actual data is too difficult for them to grasp.
The data continues to state homosexuals are not born with their same sex attraction and that environment is a significant factor.
I don’t understand how anyone could believe that there is not a genetic component.
It exists in other species. Mother nature does not make “mistakes” this often, sorry.
I don’t claim to know the “reason” why, by the way.
Besides, a guy like me would have to have a genetic component to be attracted to another male.
There is nothing within my control, NOTHING, that would change my preference. I simply could not be sexually attracted to a male.
This is merely introspection I know. But I just can’t see it happening any other way.
This is leaving aside the molestation/rape factor which does influence things.
At the end of the day, I don’t care who loves who and what they do consentually.
I don’t want the definition of marriage changed, however. Equal rights, fine, but the term “marriage” should not include same sex couples.
And why must something be genetic in order to be justified? Must someone be a genetic slave in order for something to be acceptable now?
Can’t someone do it because he likes it, as other people like golf?
That’s what the writer of the article concluded. Statistics is often misstated in support of homosexual activism. They can’t handle the truth.
Ultimately it would be but people are turned on by everything from rubber coats to stinky tennis shoes. The idea that sexuality is, especially fringe sexuality that has nothing to do with reproduction is primarily genetic is just not true. Most studies actually indicate that homosexuality is largely incidental with many self identified gays eventually leaving the lifestyle altogether. They just don’t have the lobby and no one dare polls to try to find the number of people who identify themselves as ex gay.
Golf doesn’t expose you to higher risks of sexual disease and shorten your lifespan. Yes they could do it just because they like it but that isn’t enough. You can’t get special civil rights and protections on the tact that I simply like to do this disgusting thing. Homosexuals have made a critical mistake with their intimidation and forcing of their behavior into the courts and into the schools and into everyone’s face.
They have unified their opposition and not just among religious conservatives. There is a growing secular opposition the numbers of young people opposed are increasing slowly but surely.
Yeah, whatever.
Go bait someone else.
I gave my opinion.
I’m not sorry it offended.
Then you clearly haven’t heard of extreme sports. Mountain bike? Base jumping? Superman died in a wheelchair for mere horse riding. Also see: personal responsibility & nanny government. The entire point of capitalism is that your pursue *your* happiness, not wither other people find it disgusting. Those that make this work for them, are “rich” (be it in money, pleasure or life experience), those that don’t, fail. (be it ending up poor, or dead). It’s that simple.
The question about homosexuality and marriage has absolutely nothing to do with whether someone can do it or not even though it is clearly very bad for them. Catching a disease is not an extreme sport. Forcing acceptance of a behavior that is logically and religiously incorrect on other people and abridging their freedom not to associate with it or accept it is not about capitalism. Capitalism and freedom does not flow one way and does not in our Representative Democracy flow with disregard to the validity of the claims and the will of the people.
We are not a representative anarchy. People have a protected right to make political decisions be they right, wrong, or indifferent. They could ban Mountain biking just as they have tried to ban guns. No one is trying to ban homosexuality though it once was and the laws were found at the time to be well within the confines of the first Amendment.
You can give some people all the proof in the world and they still wouldn’t want to believe the truth. It’s a shame it hurt your friendship.
I think the homosexuals are trying to get people to believe it’s genetic so people think it’s un-changeable. It’s their ‘excuse’ for their behavior. I remember back in the day when they were calling it a ‘lifestyle choice’.. whatever happened to that?
