Well! I’m offended she calls herself “a queer”!
*sarcasm in neutral, world just too weird to take anymore*
So, the argument here is that human beings are indeed sentient beings capable of making choices on how they wish to comport themselves through life. How novel.
The twins data is d_mning - literally.
Anybody with a brain (which lets out most Liberals) knows this is the case.
"I was born this way" is just an excuse for abnormal and abhorrent behavior.
“The Gay and Lesbian Medical Association warns that active homosexuals are at elevated risks of HIV/AIDS, substance and alcohol abuse, depression and anxiety, hepatitis, a whole range of STDs such as syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, pubic lice, Human Papilloma Virus, and anal papilloma, and prostate, testicular and colon cancer”.
...this could be the reason that so many people don’t want any contact with with you folks!!
amen..
The logical extension of “Gays are born that way” is that “People who engage in beastiality are born that way too” And “Pedophiles are born that way.” Even “Rapists are born that way” and why not “Drug users are born that way and “Thieves are born that way.”
Indeed Pedophiles are now pushing the APA to classify their condition as a “sexual orientation” the same way that the gays did.
A behavior is not justified by the number of people who choose it.
Cannibalism is not justified even though entire cultures have embraced it. We were not wrong to push our Christian values on such cultures.
Pedophilia and homosexual behavior is not justified no matter how many Hollywood moguls and congressmen embrace it.
“Our public policy can freely be shaped by an honest look” - not as long as any Democrat is involved. Their first thought is always “How can I get votes and money from these suckers?”
You left out bedbugs.
They are no more born homosexuals than liberals are born liberal.
They’re all created in experimental labs.
I believe Gays ARE born that way. I recall, being in the 2nd or 3rd grade a few boys who were effeminate, hung around with girls, who were into dancing and not baseball, and who later grew up to be full-fledged homos.
I can’t buy that 7 and 8 year old boys chose to act effeminately at such an early age. They were genetically predisposed to be that way.
Then they know what to do and schools don’t need to teach it.
Show my a 3 year old homosexual. Boom, roasted!

My wife and I were just talking about this subject two days ago. My female cousin, same age as me, was a normal teenage girl in high school. She had lots of boy friends, went on dates, and spent lots of time talking to boys on the phone. She was pretty and she was happy. I did lose close contact with her after high school, but I know how her life went after that. She was married which ended in divorce. She became depressed and eventually moved into some type of communal living arrangement with other women somewhere in New England. She announced she was gay. She committed suicide. Was she born gay? I don’t believe it for a moment. She was weakened by events in life. She fell under the influence of bad people. Her life became even more messed up and ended badly.
My lib SIL worked to feminize her boys from birth.
She encouraged “girly’ things, got them tea sets and Fisher Price kitchens. She encourage them to be girls at every turn.
It’s nurture and not nature, my friend.
If it was nature than identical twins would always be of the same sexual persuasion.
I think its can be either - genetic or cultural.
Look at prior societies in which homosexuality was pretty much common. The ancient Greeks, the Turks, the Imperial Romans, etc. It COULDN’T have been genetic in those societies as it was rare BEFORE it became common and became rare afterwards - the cultural factor here.
On the other hand, we ALL know people we had in elementary school and high school who were, “different”. Some studies have been done to indicate there ARE differences in brain wave patterns of SOME homosexuals.
"Born that way" does not necessarily equate to genetic inheritance.
Increasing evidence indicates that many of the subtle differences between people are created by how the intra-uterine environment expresses the genetic code of the DNA.
IOW, the DNA is the blueprint, but as we all know blueprints can be followed well or poorly by the actual builders. Many if not most birth defects are of this type, and it is likely many other "inborn" differences are too.
Personally I believe some though not all homosexuals are born with a strong tendency in that direction, as a result probably of hormonal fluctuations in the mother at critical points in the formation of the nervous system.
Which would make such tendency a form of birth defect, if you like. Which ought to really piss off the gay rights people.
