I suspect that homosexuality is somewhat like alcoholism. In some cases, there may be a genetic prediposition for it, which may be reinforced by environmental factors.

..."debate over whether people are born homosexual or straight.."

The answer is obvious.. if homosexuality were inherited, would it not be eliminated as homosexuals don't reproduce? (oops I forgot about Arianna Huffington's ex..)

'Cure' For Homosexuality

A good start :)

I guess I've been around here for about 6 years or so now. Time sure flies!

When Jim Robinson started this site, it was because he was fed up with the liberal media, and how they would not let people worldwide know about the corruption of the Clinton Administration. A few of us, equally concerned, (with great luck) found it fast.

In the early days, FR was a day-to-day operation, always on the brink of bankruptcy. Jim kept on, and we chipped in when it became too much. We knew how important this site was, and is. Sometimes, it came down to the wire, and we wrote checks, and sent them in, as best we could.

Look at it now. We all get our best information from this site. It is huge, with thousands of posters, and millions of readers. Yet Jim still keeps it alive because of his conviction, and he is absolutely NOT making a profit on it. He just believes. As do we.

BTW, did you know that the founder of this site is in a wheelchair (sorry Jim; I know you think it doesn't make a r*ts a$$ difference. Hey, some folks out there need to come down a peg, like I have.).

Think of it! In the darkest days of the Clinton Administration, there was a lone internet site where people with integrity, brains, and sheer gumption could discuss the dangers faced by the US. Not on CNN, for sure.

Earthmovers like Drudge, Ann Coulter, Rush, WFBuckley, his brother, Savage, Buchanan, both houses of Congress (many) check in to see what we think.

The opposition checks it out, too. Like the NY times staff, CNN, AFL-CIO, China, etc. Trust me, they all come here to read. Even YOUR post. You know by now how they are whining about Rush? We're next, as soon as they figure out how they can trash this site without it getting a million hits.

I've been broke; I've been not broke. I've slept in my car. I know how it feels to be squeezed tight with bills. Folks with giant bills: You're not alone, and you have friends here. :)

If you love this site as much as I do, please, please sign up for automatic payment of just $3 per month. Don't be embarrassed if you think this is too little. It absolutely is not. You $3 a month folks are our grassroots movement heroes. Be proud. Become one of the thousand points of light here, and you will so feel proud every month. We'll thank you for it, and are so glad to have you on board.

I know things are rough out there. But you are tough, and a member of the greatest grassroots freedom movement in 100 years. Together we are making history, and will change the world, as we already have. The best is yet to come.

Most countries out there would consider this website illegal. They hate us, for our freedom. Their systems cannot stand, in the face of Freedom. The people there read us when they can, when they are “allowed” to, and are not being tortured. They flock to us, America, because they want to be free. Help us help them.

Would you please, please consider signing up for just $3 a month? Please? That’s all it takes, really, believe it or not. You will make a world of difference, to, well, the world. Be proud, Americans, and please help out!

10+% of the population gay? Sure...

It seems to me the more established estimates are around 1-2%. If it was 10% or more, homosexuals would be about as numerous as say, blacks, and would easily give the Democrat party a victory in every election held in America.

Truth always makes the Thought Gestapo vicious.

Note that even if a study hints that it may be possible for a homosexual to change his orientation, the Gaystapo flies into an insane rage and the hate-mutants try to destroy those seeking the truth.

[Bubba_Leroy]

Only 10% of homosexual men are born that way. The rest just get sucked into it.

[cinFLA]

Estimates of how many people are gay vary from about 3 per cent of the population to 10 per cent or slightly higher.

Actually, BEST estimates are about 2.2 for men and 1.8 percent for women.

[jimkress]

There is no factual evidence that homosexuality is 'genetic', lots of 'wishful thinking' on the part of those who want to claim "It's not my fault!", but no factual evidence.

In addition, the ability of homosexuals to return to heterosexuality has long been known and is well documented. It was only in the '70s when homosexual activists decided to force their deviance on normal society that any questions about curing homosexuality arose. Look here for more info.

Estimates of how many people are gay vary from about 3 per cent of the population to 10 per cent or slightly higher.

That the author of the article uses the "10%" lie shows that he is biased as hell.

But at least he seems to report some facts. Many have known for years that people with SSAD can change. It must be hard - because any behavior enacted for years does make changes in the brain, and bad habits are very hard to break. Sexual perversity being one of the hardest. No doubt faith based programs would be the best, because they go to the root of the problem.

Many former drug users and alcoholics have had their lives changed because of spiritual upliftment. Also sexual misbehavior of various sorts has been removed from peoples' lives, not just homosexual behavior.

I find it oddly funny that there are documented cases of people being homosexuals dating back to the time of Ancient Greece and even today some people cannot accept that homosexuals exist.

And also, I find it ironic that some people here cannot seem to seperate the differences between a group seeking political power over another groups and people just being themselves.

Personally, I find it sicking when a group wraps themselves around an issue and use it solely for personal gain and power.

Most conservatives pride themselves on using logic over emotion. If we use that logic here on this issue and by it gain a better understanding of the situation which will allow us to see who our real enemies and who just want to be left alone to be themselves.

Estimates of how many people are gay vary from about 3 per cent of the population to 10 per cent or slightly higher.

The 10% number has been debunked long ago. The study was based on a "prison" population. I believe 1%-2% is the correct percentage.
