"We know that being gay is not a choice someone makes, and that to suggest otherwise can be incredibly harmful."
Is HRC saying being gay is a birth defect?
If being gay is genetic, then how is that genetic abnormality passed on? Did cavemen have turkey basters??
If it is a genetic mutation, could it be possible that its nature’s way of ending defective genetic lines?
“If being gay is genetic, then how is that genetic abnormality passed on? Did cavemen have turkey basters??”
Unnatural sex is a choice.
So then it CAN be cured. Awesome!
Let’s draw distinctions here. Being a homosexual is not the issue. Participating in homosexual practices is the issue. The homosexual lobby likes to blur this distinction; it furthers their cause.
Condemnation, the “sin” part, does not come from someone being a homosexual. It comes from using their sex organs in homosexual acts.
That being said, homosexuality is considered to be a disordered state of being, and the homosexual is to be treated with compassion.
It is a behavior and THAT is a choice.
And people who are sexually attracted to children... born that way too, I suppose. Unless genes somehow adapt to stay on the right side of age of consent laws.
If being homosexual was as nature as the HRC claims then, why are all human born with all the equipment to have a heterosexual relationship?
That is not true. Some are good; those are called evolutions. Some are bad; those are called defects. Still others have no effect at all.
Disgust isn’t a choice, either, and to call someone a “hater” because they might be disgusted by homosexuality is harmful.
Like Dice said, "You either do or you do not do, there is no in-between."
Imo, the ancient Greek culture puts the lie to that statement.
No way in hell that all Greek males had the homo (and pederasty) gene.
You are correct...I stand corrected.
This is a bad mutation then in that it isn’t allowing the reproduction of the species. It is a defect.
Being a faggot is a learned behavior.
identical twins, identical down to their DNA, separated at birth may have one twin practicing homosexuality and the other not. It is learned behavior. Sexual deviancy.
“If homosexuality is genetic and gene therapy could “cure” it, would you support the use of that gene therapy?”
Excellent question. Their response no doubt would be not to support it. It goes against their culture of being a homosexual. Why is it so many homosexuals develop a lisp they never had before?
I prefer to the term “peopel” when we’re discussing homosexuality. Abnormal spelling for abnormal people. ; )
“If it is a genetic mutation, could it be possible that its nature’s way of ending defective genetic lines?”
Since liberals believe in evolution and because homosexuals cannot reproduce, and they claim it is genetic (BS on that one), then they should support the idea that homosexuals are defective and are not entitled to live.
I've always wondered if it's both nature AND nurture. Some children grow up in horrible situations, yet have just the right combination of inner strengths which allow them to come out of it unscathed. Others grow up in what for all purposes are good, healthy situations yet for some reason wind up on the wrong side; perhaps there was something known only to them that pushed them, due to a specific weakness (nature) which their environment (nurture) couldn't overcome?
So it may be with homosexuals. There may have been some sexual experience way back in their past which pushed them the wrong way, and given their tendencies, it became an irreversible (maybe, who knows) path.
Scientists have shown that neural pathways in the brain, once established, are extremely hard to change. And certain ones are much harder to change than others. Talk to someone who has tried to quit smoking. Sexual tendencies in the brain pathways, once established, are of the same concept.
Can’t have it both ways. If being homosexual is NOT a choice, then evolution would say there should be no homosexuals. Guess NATURE want’s to clean the genepool.
