An awful lot happens between birth and age 3. The NARTH researchers say that they do not know what causes same-sex attraction but that they do not see evidence that it’s inborn but do see patterns arising from flawed psychosocial development. I think it arises from a whole complex of distortions that have entered our whole sexuality and seriously disordered our heterosexual sexuality since the 1960s. Most homosexuals are messed up with regard to sexuality. It would be VERY surprising if that did not have an affect on their children’s sexual development. But there could a lot of other factors starting very early in life.

Fundamentally, we just don’t know. But the orientation does not appear to be chosen, in most cases, and it does not appear to be inborn.

Correction: “Most heterosexuals are messed up with regard to sexuality.”

But the orientation does not appear to be chosen, in most cases, and it does not appear to be inborn. Granted. But let us admit that, say, in the famous Loud family of California, where there was a masculine and strong father, a nurturing mother, and 2 boys who grew up as all-American as apple pie, that Lance, the third boy, who was even effeminate in his build, and from a young age wanted to dress like a girl, and had crushes on boys, probably really did have a hormonal or some sort of inborn defect. This would probably make up only a tiny percentage of the "gay" population. The larger share can be dealt with by NARTH and by countering the gay cultural agenda. Houghton, something tells me you think if you admit I am right, this will unravel NARTH. I say no. No, it won't.
