"are several consistent factors that contribute to the emergence of homosexuality: gender confusion in childhood, a failure to internalize maleness, and sexual abuse by a same-sex predator. "

So, what are we going to do about it?

Urban legend, my foot. Almost all the people I grew up with that came out of the closet were considered "sissies" or "fags" by our peer group before we went to our first school dance. There is some sort of genetic compenent to being gay. That gay lisp is something that a straight man could never recreate.

What always amazed me about homosexuals especially in the movies is how they could play love scenes with women ( Rock Hudson etc )

Actor or not there is noway they could get me to play love scenes with a man.

"In counseling gay men for twenty years, I have not had one yet whom I would say had a normative childhood or normative adolescent development in the sexual arena. More often than not I have found stories of abusive, alcoholic, or absent (physically and emotionally) fathers; stories of incest or first experiences of sex forced upon them by older brothers, neighborhood men, or even friends. I sometimes find these men have been early exposure to pornography….” It is worth repeating: Homosexuals are made, not born.

In _How_to_Really_Love_Your_Child_, Ross Campbell, M.D. tells of a drill-sergeant-type father who raised his 4 sons with Marine-style strict and rigid discipline, zero affection, demanding unquestioned obedience with no questions asked. He planned to make them all Marine-tough he-men.

I don't know whether they ended up gay, but Ross says that all 4 sons turned out "effeminate."

He also mentions a big, friendly, loving pastor who was certainly male, but affectionate and friendly to everyone. His son turned out to be just like him.

Ross adds, "In all my reading and experience, I have never known of one sexually disoriented person who had a warm, loving, and affectionate father."

Homsexuality can be due to genetics, environment or a combination of both.

The fact that there is a biological determinant in homosexuality has been demonstrated by studies on the brain functions of homosexual versus non-homsexual males.

The fact that homosexuality becomes so prevalent in certain societies, i.e. among the Romans of the late Republic and the Early Empire, some of the Ancient Greeks and the Ottoman Turks, and the fact that their recent descendants did not express this trait, indicates that widespread homosexual practises have a behavioral and societal component, as well as a biological one.

If we allow homosexual behavior to be accepted as merely one more alternative and accepted lifestyle, we are running the risk of having modern America degenerate into a sexual equivalent of Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece, or the Turkish Empire. Not very savory models to emulate.

Then again there’s always the homosexual by choice who wrote this. Biology my ass! It can’t anecdotal because if you’re born that way.

[CalConservative]

You don't mean to say they have been lying to us about this issue?? I'm shocked - shocked! /sarcasm

[Willie Green]

While I agree that many become homosexual for a variety of psychological reasons, It's my observation that there are also others who were, indeed, born that way. There may not be a "gay gene", but perhaps some other factor that results in this birth defect. Perhaps some kind of vitamin deficiency or hormonal imbalance in the mother during pregnancy.
