One of the more effective arguments used by those arguing for same-sex marriage and sexual orientation anti-discrimination laws is that homosexuals have no choice in the matter -- that sexual orientation is something that you are born with, and you can't change it. The claim is that this is a natural part of human variability, no different from skin color or hair color or how tall you are. As an acquaintance -- a generally conservative, gay high power rifle shooter (talk about being a member of the world's smallest cross-section of identity groups) told me once, "Why would anyone choose to be gay?"
There is pretty persuasive evidence that what determines sexual orientation, at least for some homosexuals, is environmental. At a minimum, the evidence of a connection between being sexually abused as a child and homosexual or bisexual orientation as an adult is so widespread that the refusal of the scientific community to seriously consider a causal connection suggests a willful blindness.
The paper "Sexual Abuse, Sexual Orientation, and Obesity in Women," published in the Journal of Women's Health, examined the relationship between obesity and lesbianism -- a relationship that has long been recognized but never systematically explored. What the researchers found was that lesbians in their sample of women over 35 were more likely than the heterosexual women to have a "previous mental health diagnosis" and to be well-educated, and significantly more likely to be obese (40.2% compared to 30.4%). Most importantly, lesbians were almost twice as likely as matched heterosexual women to be have been victims of "intrafamilial" child sexual abuse (CSA), and more than twice as likely to be victims of extrafamilial CSA. Suddenly, the wall of fat that is one stereotype of lesbianism makes a lot of sense -- something to drive away men, and...

I always like to mention the text book I read on sexual perversions several years ago. Wish I could remember the name of it...Dreams of My Father?
So what they say carries weight? Where did they get that ‘thought’ from?
They have the positions of authority within academia and hospitals. Same as how “they” removed homosexual desires from the list of mental disorders.
Reich, Kinsey, and others pushed this mindset since the post-war years.
Right, evil had it's pawns in every generation since the beginning of time. All evil has it deception and intimidation. So the deception will come from the 'intellectuals' and their studies. And intimidation will come from the gov't to enforce it with you must obey or there are consequences.
We are happy to use child sexual abuse as an excuse for the crimes of all our prison inmates, for bulimia, for alcoholism and drug addiction, hyper(hetero)sexuality, suicide, continuing the cycle of child sexual and physical abuse, domestic violence, and other disorders, but are legally forbidden to link it to homosexuality.
Power corrupts.
The most common theory i've heard regarding this line of thought is that homosexuality genes produces a dead line for males, but it produces extraordinary fertility in females, and because of this, the genes more than make up for the deficit they cause when inherited by males.
I'm thinking there might be a genetic component in some cases, (effeminate males with effeminate personalities) but I think in many if not most cases, homosexuality is often the result of child abuse. One study i've seen asserted that 40% of homosexuals admit to being molested as children.
Oxytocin is a neuromodulator hormone that promotes bonding. Among other things, it is released during orgasm.
I think that a young person's first sexual experiences have a lot to do with their future orientation, and that same-sex molestation at an early age is a major factor in whether homosexual attraction is formed.

Some noteworthy articles about politics, foreign or military affairs, IMHO, FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.
I think it might be the "wrongness" which makes it attractive to them. I think it is a sort of fetish to feel "wrongness" in their sexual activity. In many cases, a woman who thinks she likes women, often end up with men. Anne Heche is an example of this.
It suggests the recognition that openly talking about homosexual abuse of children as a factor, will end a researcher's career, and cause him to be hounded out of the profession by the Gay Mafia.
A similar fate awaits any researcher who dares to openly look at any correlation between race and IQ.
Pretty much what I said as well. There is some sort of odd linkage in many human brains between sexual activity and the feeling of "wrongness". Some people enjoy the feeling of "wrongness" so much that they seek to heighten the sense of wrongness in all sorts of ways, homosexuality being just a manifestation of the fetish.
Homosexuality is not even a single fetish. It splits into many different subcategories. There are "Butch", "Fem", Transgender, crossdressing, and paedophilia, just for starters, and many variations and/or combinations beyond that.
But pretty much yeah, they seek out perversion BECAUSE it's perversion. If they thought washing windows was perverted, they would be doing that, because it is the rejection of "normal" which is what they are after.
Some take hormones and do weight training to create that effect.
Interesting theory. Will keep it in mind.
There is supporting evidence for this theory. Homosexuality appears to have more than it's fair share of a sadistic streak.
If you follow some of the links it takes you to websites which go into more detail regarding the Usage of Homosexuals by the SS.
IMO, homosexuality in men and women is very different. FWIW.
And if someone was born with an urge to sleep around, would it be okay for him to cheat on his wife (both inborn sexual urges, with the main difference being that homosexuality is only 2% of the population)? How many men would like to try that excuse? I imagine that would not fly with any woman worth marrying.
I'm with you on that one. I don't get it either.
If gays hate women, why act like one and/or why be attracted to a man who acts like a woman?
If lesbians hate men, why act like one and/or why would a lesbian be attracted to a woman who acts like a man.
My personal thought is that some, just a small fraction of the declared homosexuals, do have a flaw in their genes which makes them that way. I believe that this may be mother nature's way of limiting population growth somewhat. We keep coming up with solutions to her other methods of limiting the population... medical cures, and so on... so this becomes another way of dealing with the over-population problem.
Liberal thinking is even more contrived than this. For the Transexuals, it’s what they feel like at this point in time. It’s a choice and therefore correct. They’re covering all the bases.
It’s nuts, literally.
Exactly. Homosexual behavior is a learned behavior. Besides, multiple reports have shown that identical twins where one is a homo the other often isn’t.
