The argument here goes little or nowhere. Assuming that the odds are high that some gays are born that way, and some not, where does that leave us? As usual it is a balancing test, and this piece fails to take on that task, or even address it.

Assuming that the odds are high that some gays are born that way, and some not...

But, why would one make that assumption? On what basis?

You know what they say about the word "assume," right? Anyway, I am responding to this particular reply of yours instead of your other one (cause I don't really understand the other one). This subject really isn't some all encompasing interest of mine, but this article is fascinating and if you click on the link and read the entire article, you might find it to be so too. There is much to be learned and it can be translated into so many more subjects. The author is really very very good.

But back to your comment, "Assuming some are born and some are not...." the author makes the argument that all are born heterosexual, unless they are hermophrodites, because they have the proper equipment so to speak. Now we come to "desire." ..... maybe you should go read the article because I cannot possibly make the author's point any more plain and easy to read and understandable than he does.

He's really got a point.

Why would you assume that? On what basis would you make that assumption?

Shalom.

Research does not support the notion that gays are born that way. The odds are extremely low that such is the case.
