Then probably the same thing. People will do what they want to do, and explain it with any old fiction that makes them feel good.

Gay animals have actually been sighted in the midst of doing what gay creatures do.
I myself have seen two separate incidents on video of animals involved in what seemed like gay sex. The problem here of course is what actually were these animals doing? Well, it seemed like they were involved in gay sex. Two animals of the same sex copulating or whatever they were doing.

Of course, to determine whether it was gay sex is monumental to prove. You can't ask them if they're involved in gay sex, and any activity observed is open to interpretation as to what they were doing.

But left-wing, liberal scientists had no problem declaring it as gay sex to prove that it occurs in the wild and is considered normal but there is no way to prove it.

My question to you is, how do you know there aren't any gay animals?

BS.

Homosexuals are suffering emotional wounds and have chosen to obsessively focus on sex as a defense mechanism.

I have seen probably a dozen young bulls hop up on another young bull. Never have I seen one insert his penis into the other ones anus. I considered this more of young guys dry humping each other for a moment. Never to ejaculation either. This wasn’t a repeated effort. Just a one time jump amongst the hundreds of young bulls out on the ranch.

So if I had to make a bet II would say there is no such thing as gay animals who are living in their normal terrain.

>>It means it’s a defect and not “normal”, like they’re trying to shove down our throats.

This is an interesting area where both Christians and thinking Darwinists can come to agreement.

Pedophilia may well have a biological basis to some degree - a disproportionate number of pedophiles have low intelligence, short stature, low set ears - something not right there.

Is that true? I have never heard about that before.
What about their eyes?

if two prospective parents thought their child would be gay, they might abort it...

I’m pretty sure that’s more of a dominance/pecking order thing. Alpha female dogs have been known to mount passive males.

Actually, it will throw an insane monkey with a wrench into their machinery.

Not unlike a baboon. Perhaps, baboons prefer younger mates.

Homosexuality a birth defect and liberalism a mental disorder! Wow! JACKPOT!

It will be made illegal to abort homos. The leftists will be in a tizzy, but cognitive dissonance has always be a mark of the left.

That’s kind of what I think but it’s difficult to visualize when there’s forty young bulls in a pen who are being sorted and you only have a moment to see them perform the hop.

It’s a lifestyle choice. Priests choose to be celibate. Gay people could do the same. So could anyone else.

All fetuses up to that point are female. At that time, hormones that determine the sex of the child are released.

Oversimplification: Up to a certain point in gestation, a male fetus cannot be distinguished from a female one, except chromosomally. After all, a male fetus has both X and Y chromosomes, while a female has two X chromosomes.

All fetuses begin their development as females. This is when the X chromosome that both sexes carry influences the development of the fetus. After some point, the effects of the Y chromosome (hormones, etc.) transform the fetus into a male, while in the absence of the Y chromosome, the fetus continues to develop as a female.

In that sense, all males are genetically mutated females.

No.

The child is either male or female from conception. The fact that we can not tell the difference in the beginning with out a DNA test does not mean that they are all female it just means that we can't tell.

A boy (XY) is not "turned into a male" he always was a male.

Based upon the X chromosome, all males are one half female. Female is the norm, male is the exception. What I am saying is that the common (female - X chromosome) aspects of the human being develop first and then, if the fetus has a Y chromosome, it becomes male.

Think about an automobile, if you look at the chassis, without a body, you cannot tell if it will eventually become a sedan, a coupe, or a convertable. Only later in the production process can the difference be observed. Even so, the production ticket may designate the end result from the beginning.
