I don’t believe that the attraction to the same gender is neccessarily a choice, however, I don’t believe that there is zero choice when it comes to promiscuity and the actual behavior itself.
“I don’t believe that the attraction to the same gender is necessarily a choice”
No more than it is a raped woman’s choice to develop rape trauma syndrome.
“however, I don’t believe that there is zero choice when it comes to promiscuity and the actual behavior itself.”
I don’t know how that can be reliably determined, one way or the other. People with “good personalities” blame those with “bad personalities,” refusing to accept that obnoxious people would correct themselves immediately if only they could. Many thin people assume that all fat people are to blame, when there are many causes of obesity other than overeating.
Can a mentally disordered man who suffers a compulsion to engage in homosexual acts control himself? Is it possible, or is he so weakened or demented by his mental illness that he cannot? Both opinions are held by men of good faith. Personally, I don’t know.
I do think that the young, at least, should be protected from people who suffer from this disorder. No contact, no public life that would make them role models.
