Of course they are born that way. They are born sinners. That’s why they need to repent, just like the rest of of us with our respective sins.

The “scientists” promoting “Born That Way” won’t use identical twins in their research. You’d think identical twins would have the same “sexual orientation” but oddly enough two “gay” twin-siblings is very rare.

Some are, some aren’t. I estimate 50% of lesbians are not really gay, but can’t handle a relationship with a man and don’t care so much who is munching on their rug.

For homos, it boggles the mind to think that anyone but a born perverted male would relish the thought of a big hairy you know what, jammed in the place of darkness. Maybe 10% are just asexual and like guys better than women to hang out with. But the rest? Pervs from day one.

Are bank robbers “born that way”? Are alcoholics? Are composers? Are inventors?

This question has no importance to the right ordering of a society.

Born that way?

Perhaps.

But if born that way it is not normal.

Like someone born with a mental or physical anomaly, it may be “natural” but not normal.

If you believe in evolution then man and woman evolved to perform two separate sexual functions.

If you believe God created man and woman, then man and woman were created to perform two separate sexual roles.

Seems pretty clear to me.

A second problem with the born-that-way theory is that even if true, it wouldn’t prove that homosexual behavior is moral.

One could add, "or normal." Many are born with birth defects but does that make them normal?

If you have ever spent much time around children, the vast majority of them prefer same-sex friends and often avoid children of the opposite sex. Remember “cooties”?

What would be the influence of sexualizing children before puberty given that they prefer to associate with same sex friends?

Even if homosexuality is natural, it doesn’t prove it ought to be

If it is "natural," it is at best an aberration, and one that threatens the survival of the species. So it would be "naturally" abhorrent, even absent any moral baggage. It would also be perfectly "natural" for heterosexuals -- NORMAL people -- to reject homosexuals, which most heteros do.

Homosexuality is natural only in the sense that in any sufficiently large population, there will always be outliers, those whose behavior falls outside the bell curve. Sometimes they're homosexual. Sometimes they're mass murderers. Sometimes they're colorblind or have an extra toe.

The attempt to normalize behavior that is abnormal is simply the homosexual community trying to gain a stature it doesn't deserve, by redefining the math.

Mrs Bill Dei Blasio (mayor of NYC), is an interesting example of homosexuality as a life choice.

Excellent article,but with one very odd proposition.

Even if homosexuality is natural, it doesn’t prove it ought to be.

I must not be logical enough to figure out the logic in that particular statement.

I met my husband’s little cousin when the tyke was about 3 yrs old and he was already dancing and prancing around on his tippy toes.
.
I said:”he sure is a strange one,kind of queer”.
Yeah,1960’s lingo.

If they were born that way why are the queers so invested in developing new ones from our children in their schools?

If they were Born that Way why is it some wait until they are 30 or 40 years old to be gay theory up in smoke.
Gay falls into the line of want to be kinky like some who like pain.

Our design by God would not permit us to be gay and therefore the only reason one would be gay or lesbian is that their parents acted in such a manner that encourages their kids to be gay or lesbian.

The “science” is a mere distraction meant to sway some fence sitters.

Ultimately the proponents of the sex positive agenda don't care WHY someone has aberrant desires. The stated goal is forever END all moral judgments over sexual pairings of ANY kind regardless of sex, age, relation, marital status, number, or species of partner(s).

Like those two alleged gays who went to Big Earl’s in Pittsburg, TX., it seems when we expand marriage to “same-sex”; anyone can do that just to pull jokes on people or worse, troll for a lawsuit.
