"We know that being gay is not a choice someone makes, and that to suggest otherwise can be incredibly harmful."
Is HRC saying being gay is a birth defect?
Well then why do they call it "sexual preference"?
My totallly anecdotal guess would say yes (in most cases), but just because same-sex attraction disorder may be a defect in brain wiring, amongst other things, doesnt mean its normal, anymore than anyone with cystic fibrosis or color blindness is normal.
Agreed. It is a brain function. Or misfunction. They are children of Gd like anyone else with a disability.
HRC is also saying thaty no one would chose to be gay.
It may have to do with each unborn child’s exposures to ? Hormones or something, maybe even plastics, and even twins may have different exposures. Thus not purely genetic but epigenetic.
There is some evidence, for example, that the more male children a woman has carried in her womb, the greater a chance of the next male baby to be homosexual. Thus more third and fourth sons would be gay than first and second, to women who had three or four sons.
Preference is right, do people choose to be attracted to children? In either case a choice is made to act on a preference.
We had a Republican Maine Legislator who put in a bill to make it illegal to have an abortion if the fetus was found to have the "gay gene".
He was interviewed by Jon Stewart.
Well, all the advanced scientists on the left in fields like genetics, evolution, biology, etc. all agree that nature created the act of sex simply to amuse us. The fact that creatures happen to reproduce that way is merely coincidence.
/sarc
Point well taken.
Of course not! Why would someone choose to be of a disordered nature?
Of course, you put it to them in those terms and they'll likely throw something at you.
God would not form a child in the womb destined for The Lake of Fire.
I think with males the cause of most homosexual tendencies result from childhood molestation by male perverts. It’s tough to say what kind of role choice plays after that.
we know that being a murderer is not a choice, they are born that way...........
what ever happened to free will?
the choice to do good or do evil?
homosexual activity is not good for either party, their families, their children........
Well yea its a birth defect..there effective sterile..I mean explain gay from a evolution Darwin perspective. .are they a new form of human ..a kind of worker bee ?.... The thing is transgendered types say they it is a birth defect but say that they were born the wrong gender....that the crazy thing..in the whole gay, lesbian, trans-gender thing..the mind and body are not in sync ..but they insist what ever there mind wants is always correct vs the body and never the other way
So much for a right to choose.
Did he outlaw aborting Downs kids too?
I was born the wrong height.
:-/
A mutantion that can not be pasted on because it can not reproduce is not evolution..it a dead end..gay at best is a genetic kill switch for a line..im not trying to be cruel or mean..im really trying to understand from a cold rational perspective. .why gay? from an biological evolution perspective, what the point other then its a reproduction self destruct.
No, after much wailing and gnashing of teeth, the bill was killed. He did it for the very reason you mentioned...
To make liberals heads explode.
What a freakin mess.
No one would choose to be a drug addict either if they fully understood the consequences of their choices. They leave that little caveat out which is part and parcel of every bad choice. Both are choices.
“Gay is not a choice
Well then why do they call it “sexual preference”?”
Sweet! I forgot about that one! They do call it a “preference”.
