Yes. What you say is right.
As a physician and as a heterosexual man, I would say homosexuality does not need to be genetic to be a disease. I liken it to any addictive behavior, because there is a similarity. YOu often see multiple addictions actually.
Maybe environmental. What bothers me is that because the left has blocked any discussion or research in this country...or has undermined churches or clinic therapies that try to help people, people who might be healed are not healed.
In fact, we can all learn from an honest discussion on this.
I'm the OTHER kind of doctor (PhD)... as I like to say, the work I do makes the work you do possible.
I read about some research recently that suggests that homosexuality in men may be the result of epigenetic changes that occur during fetal development. These are caused by a high level of maternal hormones. It is intriguing, and I would like to see whether additional research supports that mechanism.
As you say, homosexuality is probably similar to addictive behavior. I think that the more drugs addicts use, the more they change their epigenetic profile. This makes the addiction deeper, and also causes physical changes in the brain.
Since epigenetic modification does not actually change the DNA sequence, I think that it should be possible to figure out how to reverse those modifications and effect a cure.
The left can't actually block research. They may be able to influence the NIH not to fund research into sexually related mental illness, but they cannot stop private foundations from funding that kind of research.
