newt tripped over his mouth again.
Not like he does not have a 'committed sister' and is immune to other genetic scenarios here.
OK, folks. Here is the way it is:
Newt is correct. There is no evidence that homosexuality is mostly genetic, nor has anyone really worked out the environmental determinants. It is also true that many (probably most) gays do not chose their predilection, as if selecting from a menu of available “orientations.”
Any alert observer soon begins to agree with Freud that male homosexuality is a condition of arrested development. This explains the interest in the same sex, the childish behavior, and even the “effeminate“ manners of speech and gestures. Why some people exhibit this arrested development of the personality, we still cannot say.
There also is evidence that female homosexuality may have different origins: hormonal imbalance (an organic cause), and childhood sexual abuse (an environmental cause). It may be a quite different thing from the male counterpart. If that is true, it is a fallacy to lump the conditions together.
So we really do not know the details of what causes homosexuality. People make a big thing over the issue, because they suppose that if one had no choice, then one can’t be blamed. In the absence of any clear knowledge of the origins of homosexuality, what are we to think of it?
Well, it should not make any difference. We should never be intentionally, gratuitously cruel to anyone. But we can, as clear-sighted individuals, at least recognize the distinction, and see that we are dealing here with a disorder. It is not normal, and is certainly not the norm; and has only been accepted in obscure or decaying cultures. And we should be free to say that plain fact without being locked up or fired for “homophobia.”
Some homosexuals wish to have their condition treated as normal, or even privileged. That is wishful thinking, another evidence of a childish attitude associated with the “gay” mind. It is nonsense, and homosexuals should know that most people regard their condition as abnormal. Then they should go lead their lives as best they can. They still have choices. They can keep their abnormal lives private, or they can be “flamers.”
I have a friend who suffers from a very serious disease. Compared to what he has, the average homosexual should have no complaints. Homosexuals should stop whining, and everyone would be much better off.
