I have been reluctant to enter into the fray of the debate with regard to the “homo” issue because I have a niece and a sister-in-law who are “that way.”
The sister-in-law (my wife’s sister) is “bipolar” and doesn’t actually know what the hell she is or what she is doing. Added to that the American Psychological Association petitioned Congress to have homosexuality removed for the Manual of Diagnosis Mental Disorders back in the ‘70”s. It was then described as a mental illness.
As for my niece, my younger sister’s 24 year old: nice kid, funny as hell, great sense of humor, and I’m sad for her and her “chosen” lifestyle.
I have never made mentioned of my disdain for the lifestyle to my sister-in-law or my sister and niece. I have let sleeping dogs lie.
BUT IF THEY SHOULD ASK, THIS WILL BE MY RESPONSE: Homosexuality is learned behavior and rebelliousness. If they want to translate “rebelliousness” as “sin” and shaky one’s fist at God, so be it.
I don’t believe in the “Born That Way” meme. It’s a bunch of bullshit. To believe that, one has to believe that one of their parents or one of their four grandparents have had to transfer that supposed homo-gene to them. Doesn’t work for me, period.
Also, if homos are never have sex with those of the opposite sex then how can the genetic inscription for homos be transferred?
Very difficult with one’s own family members, and letting sleeping dogs lie is sometimes the best refuge - I doubt they are going to be receptive to your going against the meme. They have been told the opposite, and you may open yourself up to attacks while at the same time doing no real good, except appearing (to their thinking) to be a bigot. in any case, It is not so much individuals such as your niece and Sister-in-law but the greater agenda - imposing itself politically and culturally - which needs to be countered.
