“ParerParerents”? This Kindle Fire thing drives me crazy.
The left is skilled at eliminating anyone who opposes their dogma.
Good post. I don’t engage much on this topic anymore as I burned out on it many years ago.
I suspect that indoctrination by pro-LGBTQ bullies helps to foster homosexuality.
So give me an example of something that is not biological that one can’t change regarding being homosexual.
Would it be something like early life experiences that conditioned someone to be gay? But conditioning can be undone if one wants to.
Exactly! Most would not have chosen the same sex attraction that haunts them any more than they would have chosen to be molested at 8 by a 40 year old man. The only choice now is whether to continue with the downward spiral or seek help to put the pieces of a normal life together inside their heads. A good number of them DO want out, but the cult has fed them the lie that even trying is a death sentence. Textbook cult brainwashing.
The phrase “is not well known in sexuality research circles”
is code for “they’re not under our control”.
It’s not about being unable to change, humans can always change. However, that doesn’t mean a person necessarily made a conscious choice to begin with. I never chose to be a normal heterosexual, that just happened without my choosing anything. The same thing may be true for homosexuals, without having any biological cause for it.
Isaiah 45:7
OK - I get what they’re trying to say. A particular set of conditions sometimes in their lives may have caused their body/mind to initially react in a particular way without them making a conscious choice.
However, once one is aware that a particular conditioned predilection is not cast in concrete, then he has the ability to change it if he wants to.
Similar I guess to a pyromaniac, or other conditioned manias.
So the question then becomes one of whether a particular conditioned response is harmful or beneficial to the particular individual or society in general.
The argument that the homosexuals are making then boils down to that their predilection is not sufficiently harmful to themselves or society to have to make the effort to change.

“The argument that the homosexuals are making then boils down to that their predilection is not sufficiently harmful to themselves or society to have to make the effort to change.”
Actually, the homos are not even conceding that they could change, because they don’t want to have to make that argument. They’d rather put us on the defensive than have to defend themselves.
Throckmorton’s criticism strikes me as a “king of the hill” joust in defense of his self-perceived higher status in the sexuality discussions sweepstakes.
I guess that’s it. Homosexuality, like contraception and other non-reproductive sex deviations, destroys souls, families and civilizations, But it’s no skin off their nose,apparently.
One can learn to be righteous or one can learn to be evil. One is given the choice by God. One is not predestined to be anything at all. The only predestination is that of the consequences set in place by God for certain behaviors, heaven for good, and hell for bad.
Can someone explain to me why it matters if same-sex behavior is innate or not?
There are lots of temptations for which there’s good evidence of either a genetic or very early childhood origin.
