I think you are right.

I’ve heard some liberal/gay activist types talk about why so many lesbians have been married to men or involved with men in their pasts. And the reason stated was that, since society pressures us so much into certain behaviors, that these lesbians felt pressured to be involved with men to conform to society’s expectations.

There is a pair of identical twins where one boy is transgendered and on hormone therapy. The difference in appearance between the two is striking.

But, but, the liberals have told us that homosexuals are born that way.

I think they are. At the same time, I don't think their condition has a thing to do with genetics. If it was genetic, you'd see families with a high incidence of homosexuality, and others with none at all.

In my observation, homosexuality is a mental thing. Sure, some people can be indoctrinated into it through force, but sexual preference is pretty basic to personality. Some folks are just born with crossed wires, ya know?

It seems to naturally follow that any gene that trends toward non-reproduction would eventually be depleted from the genome after some number of generations. Certainly after millions of generations.

Like... if there was a sterility gene. Seems that over time it would be less and less likely to pass itself to new generations.

What about the hermaphrodites?

There was an article about one “woman” here, recently, whose clitoris was a partially-developed penis, or something like that.

That assumption works on the condition that homosexuals are allowed to vanish out of the gene pool. However, until recently, many married and maintained heterosexual relationships, reproducing, even, before coming out. This would be more relevant in stigmatising societies.

I am reminded of a medical article I read many years ago.

A young man from way back in the hills was drafted for WWII.

His mother died when he was born and he had no women in his life at all. He grew up around men, never seeing a woman.

When drafted they noticed something strange about him so they gave him some tests.

1. They showed him pictures of naked women. No reaction.

2. They showed him pictures of naked men. No reaction.

They did not know what to think of it when another doctor, made aware of the boy’s upbringing, tried something different.

3. They showed him pictures of a cow. WOW! Instant reaction.

I hope these scientists are independently wealthy, because they are about to be consumed by the pro-sodomite forces running rampant in the global system.

Homosexuals better hope it is not genetic cuz there will be an abortopalooza if homosexuality can ever be determined in the womb. What a conundrum that will be for liberals. Although they don’t seem to be too concerned about gender selective abortion. I guess the rite of abortion trumps all other political correctness.

to clarify, i have’been saying “being gay” is not genetic, because if it were, both identical twins would have to be gay, 100% of the time.

I see the same thing all the time. I’m pushing 60 and can intimidate nearly any young man I see any more, and I’m not exactly Chuck Norris. I feel like telling them they should be ashamed to be scared of me.

“They found that from 16 to 17-years-old, if a person had a romantic attraction to the same sex, almost all had switched one year later.”

That is because they didn't have a "romantic attraction" they were only told they did.

There are four types of love; agape, eros, storge, philia. Roughly charity, sexual love, love of friends, love of family.

Although they have done their best to kill it, love of family is still understood but charity and love of friends have been successfully scrubbed from societal understanding.

So when you are female and have a best friend who is female for whom you have warm affection you are told that you must have a "girl crush" at best and that you are lesbian at worse.

If you are a male it is the same if not worse.

Thanks for posting. Even the worst studies don’t show a possible correlation of more than chance. Meaning that you have the predictability of a coin flip of whether one twin will be or not. It doesn’t mean there isn’t biological contributors of course and I believe there are but its more like other complex traits like adultery and there are studies that show exactly that.

http://www.futurepundit.com/archives/002484.html

There are good reasons for encouraging what the ‘progressive’ sexual proponents label heteronormative society as there are also good reasons for encouraging what would be called monogamynormative society. It benefits through helping stabilize relationships and encourage the formation of biological families and move sex away from selfish aims and reign it in with a sense of responsibility. It also helps to minimize disease both mental and sexual something we have seen a rise in. Its not that there will not be exceptions but the rule is what keeps exceptions from becoming so great they destabilize social structure at a great cost. The same people pushing gay marriage also held up birth control and contraception as substitutes for morality and responsibility and we see how that has worked out. We have more broken families and more kids raised in environments where they are likely not to know or live with their father and these kids are far more likely to use illegal drugs, be depressed, and end up in prison. Now we are moving another step towards the abyss. Now we are openly encouraging the production of families where children will have a biological donor or surrogate rather than a father and a mother. We are producing a society where larger number of children by design will have less biological connections and that has shown to be a dangerous thing increasing risk of abuse for those kids no matter how well intentioned the circumstances may be. This also sets up what will be a need for an even greater role of government in family life. Now we will have the government redefining the very nature of normal familial relationships and forcing through law the norming of less stable family structures to satisfy pop cultural political correctness with the goal to make even suggesting that Men should marry women is bigotry and fully expect them to go the next step to make heterosexual marriage ‘uncool’ its wont be too far of a leap from what they’ve already been doing for the past 40 years.

So in the end the Feminists and leftist sexual progressives get what they wanted all along which is the end of the patriarchy and an end to the traditional family which they see as the basic structural unit of not just the patriarchy but also the capitalist system.

There was an article about one “woman” here, recently, whose clitoris was a partially-developed penis, or something like that.

The clitoris is the same structure as the penis. Add testosterone and it grows large.

The human genotype contains all the structures for both male and female... both genders have all the same parts. They differentiate because of hormonal influences and the single sex controlling gene.

penis = clitoris
ovaries = testes

As an example, male breasts are identical to female breasts. Add estrogen and then they look identical. Males can even nurse children. Breast size does not equate to milk producing ability. Some medications have the side effect of causing lactation in the male... a frightening side effect to be sure.

I know... it's all rather weird and startling. Mother Nature has a sense of humor perhaps.
