Thanks for your post. Looks like you've done some homework on the subject. I didn't see any Title: Science though. I'll dig deeper and get better informed.

I can't take any credit for the research! It's all Scripter's doing.

I've read a lot of what he's collected, and done my own study of the subject for about 15 years. From everything I've read, it looks as though some - SOME - people - may have a propensity for sexual deviancy (of various sorts), but a great number of people who "turn out" homosexuals were molested, raped, or seduced as children or young adolescents. Kids who are sexualized at a young age almost always have serious sexual and other dysfunction.

And currently, becuase there is so much influence in media and school, many kids are convinced that they are "gay" because they've had one "gay" thought or experience. To tell them that they are now carved-in-stone "gay" is to condemn them to a dangerous, lonely life that is in reality based on behavioral choice. Of course, same sex attraction - being attracted to members of the same sex - may not be a conscious choice for some (although for some it admittedly is), but to act on it is a choice. Just as someone else may have strong attraction to a person other than their legitimate spouse, but they can ignore that attraction, reason with it, avoid the person they are attracted to and get over it, or give in to the desire and commit adultery.

Civilized human life really means learning which desires are appropriate and beneficial, which aren't, and controlling those that aren't. If people act out everything that comes into the mind, we'd be all be worse than animals.

And there are so many ex-homosexuals, there is also the choice of change.
