An interesting analogy. I will stick to my guns and argue that yes, in the case of Mormon polygomists, this is a choice, where in the case of gay people it is not a choice.

Those Mormon's becoming polygomists did so in the context of numerous examples and a geographic community that included some support. The typical gay teenager assumes that he/she is the only gay kid in their entire school and has no examples to follow, yet they know that they are gay. Their only choice is to accept themselves or not.

I doubt there is much evidence that the overwhelming majority of polygomists report knowing that they were polygamists when they were very young. Almost all gay people can report memories of non-sexual, yet homosexual thoughts and feelings often at pre-pubescent ages.

You are one weak minded individual....(feeble minded)

All kids...got that??? ALL kids go through a stage of investigation, arousel, mutual attractions etc. The turn in nature that all humans...I mean, most humans take is called maturity. Most humans mature and find attraction in the opposite sex and then reproduce. Your selected few stay in the childhood period and never crawl out.

Your outlook is terribly flawed. ...they are born that way...they don't have a choice... What a damned cop out.

Now we know why you are such an emotional gay-basher. You feel guilt over your own homosexual feelings. In an attempt to explain your own experience, you convince yourself that ALL kids start off just like you, while what separates you from the perverted scum is your ability to behave in a heterosexual manner.

You are quite wrong that ALL kids have same-sex arousel, mutual attractions. Again, just ask people. Are some people going to lie and deny they ever had a same-sex thought? Sure. But not millions. I've asked both of my parents. I don't think they lied to me. Neither ever experienced a same-sex thought or experience.

But my original point was that I doubt there exists evidence that thoughts/feelings of polygamy begin in pre-pubescence, while there is abundant evidence (your own gratefully accepted) that feelings of homosexuality do.
