is something wired into the genes of approximately 3 or 4 percent of the human population in every single culture on the planet

How does this statement keep gettng repeated without any proof to support it? It assumes no difference between those that are supposedly "wired" and those that are led into a bad choice and, of course, does not allow for the reality of so many who have tried homosexuality and then left it behind. The number of those who are "wired" is not established at any such percentage by any proof that anyone ever cites who asserts this claim which proof will stand up to examination.

Yup, the liberal trumpets of course want us to believe that ALL homosexuals are "wired," which is absurd in and of itself, but the larger point is this: I won't deny the possibility that a few people are born with a predisposition to be attracted to others of the same sex.

SO WHAT? ALL human beings are born with predispositions to an assortment of immoral and/or destructive behaviors. Many, many men are born with a predisposed innate aversion to monogamy. But the ones who value character and respect the institution of marriage and choose to live as moral people, OVERCOME that flaw. They DENY the temptation.

Some people are born with poor impulse control, or a tendency to turn violent, or any of COUNTLESS other flaws, all things which we, as responsible and moral members of society, are expected to suppress. So why is it that this particular predisposition--this urge for a man to shove his penis into another man's rump or another man's mouth, or vice versa--must AUTOMATICALLY be not only surrendered to, but embraced and celebrated?

The bottom line is that we're ALL born with dispositions toward a multitude of flawed behaviors, but it is flat out a CHOICE to engage in a homosexual ACT, as surely as it is a choice for a man to meet that woman who's not his wife, for a couple hours of fun.

Schizophrenia is also "wired" into the people who have it, but that doesn't make it normal. ; )

What I'm looking forward to is the eventual war between the gay and abortion lobby... If it winds up being true that there's a "gay gene," then it could be looked upon as a birth defect... I wonder how the gay lobby would feel about abortion if prospective parents might decide they don't want to have a gay child.

I wonder what would happen with the March of Dimes donations if the "gay gene" would be classified as a birth defect?

It's a mantra, designed to just get the public so tired of hearing it that they say okay, whatever, just quit bugging me about it. Logic never was the sads' strong suit. Devilish, dogged persistence is.

Psssst.
Don't knock it. It was just a few years ago the perverts kept claiming 15-20%. Inflate their numbers and the power will come!

It's still astonishing the social destruction that 1% of the population and their sympathizers have accomplished.
