I was just making the point that sexual orientation exists independently of sexual behavior

If you are correct, and I still suggest that it is learned, then the valid orientation is heterosexual. A homosexual "orientation" is a sign of someone needing help, not encouragement.

"If you are correct, and I still suggest that it is learned..."

Okay. I'm not really ready to suggest either way yet, as the data aren't in. If sexual orientation is learned, it is likely as a result of something other than actual sexual experience with others. Virtually everyone (gay or straight) knows their sexual orientation before their first sexual experience with another person. Regardless of whether it's learned or not, it does exist independently of behavior.

Feel free to help those that you believe need help. I do.
