Homosexuality is psychological and not biological.

Again, thanks for your contribution. In the interests of clarity and ease, both for myself and the readers, perhaps when you make an affirmative claim you might wish to quote what you feel is the key portion from a website or study, rather than merely several links to various. We only have 3 days to formulate something close to digestible replies, and the readers only a relatively short time to digest information therein. It would therefore be of great use to everyone if you could perhaps lift what sections you deem absolutely conclusive from your sources and quote them inside the main body of your text. You may also then provide links as well of course. We will commonly hear homosexuals talk about being 'born gay'. Because this is repeated and unchallenged in the media, general society takes on the idea as scientific fact - when it's anything but so. I would even go as far as to say that people who believe others are 'born gay' are essentially like an informal faith based cult. A faith entirely lacking in rationality or empirical scientific evidence. It would be perfectly possible for geneticists to study a DNA sample from an African, Asian or European man and determine from that sample which was which. This is very easy for them to do for there are clear and self evident genetic markers and differences. They can go further still. They can break it down, so that your results might be that you are 90% European, 5% African and 5% Jewish. This is so easy and commonplace now that anyone can do it online and for a small fee. But can could scientists take the gene samples of babies and determine which were hetro and which would be homosexual? Could they do it with a large participation sample and repeat the results time and again as per the scientific process? No they cannot and they have not. The reason why they cannot and never will is that no one is born gay, and scientists would not be able to determine by a compare and contrast of samples from new born babies. It should be clear by now that whatever homosexuality is rooted in that thing is not biological or genetic. But since it obviously exists and a real thing we are left with the question - what is it mainly rooted in(or even exclusively so)? The answer is patently in the psychological. From an evolutionary perspective you might wonder why a male 'born gay' would also produce semen? Semen is for procreation and a man cannot impregnate another man. You'd have to wonder why the female 'born gay' would have eggs. A women cannot impregnate another women. This would further indicate to me that no baby is born 'genetically gay'. The parallels between many of those with the pathology of homosexuality can be juxtaposed with recognised psychological conditions and you will see some startling similarities. The much higher instances of drug use (self medicating even), the high risk taking behaviours, casual disregard for consequence, greater instances of self harm and suicidal ideation, sexual promiscuity but difficulty in sustaining relationships, commonly highly sensitive to any criticism while being fiercely critical of others. There is a reason why there would be some many parallels - the psyche of homosexuality is in of itself a psychological state of mind, most likely born from one or more triggers in their key development years. In the video I provided in my OP a range of homosexuals were asked frankly about their first sexual encounter of any kind. Around 90% or more answered that there was either some molestation at the hands of another male or at the very least an early sexualisation owing to exposure to sex. This does not mean that being molested is the trigger in all. But I think it is fair to say that if a boy aged between 2-12 is molested(maybe repeatedly) by men, that the child is going to grow up with an altered and damaged sexual psyche. ** Peter Tatchell, an Australian-born British homosexual activist who founded the "direct action" group OutRage! that specialises in media stunts wrote on Spiked Online that he agrees with the scientific consensus that there is no such thing as a "gay gene ** Tatchell wrote, "Genes and hormones may predispose a person to one sexuality rather than another. But thatï¿½s all. Predisposition and determination are two different things." Tatchell even went as far as to acknowledge the existence of some who have changed their "sexual orientation." "If heterosexually and homosexuality are, indeed, genetically predeterminedï¿½ how do we explain bisexuality or people who, suddenly in mid-life, switch from heterosexuality to homosexuality (or vice versa)? We can't." Sexuality, he wrote, is "far more ambiguous, blurred and overlapping than any theory of genetic causality can allow." "Examples of sexual flexibilityï¿½ donï¿½t square with genetic theories of rigid erotic predestination." ** Richard B. Gartner, PhD, Training and Supervising Analyst, Faculty and Founding Director of the Sexual Abuse Program at the William Alanson White Institute, wrote in his Jan. 30, 2011 article "Talking about Sexually Abused Boys, and the Men They Become," available at www.psychologytoday.com: "Finally, when the abuser is male (and even sometimes when she is female), many boys - whether straight or gay - develop fears and concerns about sexual orientation. Conventional wisdom says sexual abuse turns boys gay, although there's no persuasive evidence that premature sexual activity fundamentally changes sexual orientation. Nevertheless, a heterosexual boy is likely to doubt himself, wondering why he was chosen by a man for sex. A homosexual boy may feel rushed into considering himself gay, or may hate his homosexuality because he believes it was caused by his abuse." Helen W. Wilson, PhD, Assistant Professor of Psychology at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science, and Cathy Spatz Widom, PhD, Professor of Criminal Justice and Psychology at John Jay College of Criminal Justice at The City University of New York (CUNY), wrote the following information in their Jan. 7, 2009 article published by Archives of Sexual Behaviour, "Does Physical Abuse, Sexual Abuse, or Neglect in Childhood Increase the Likelihood of Same-sex Sexual Relationships and Cohabitation? A Prospective 30-year Follow-up": "Findings from this investigation provide tentative support for a relationship between childhood sexual abuse and same sex sexual relationships, but this relationship appeared only for men. That is, men with histories of childhood sexual abuse were more likely than men in a control group to report same sex sexual partnerships... " David W. Purcell, JD, PhD, Deputy Director for Behavioural and Social Science, Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention, Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, et al. State in their article "Childhood Sexual Abuse Experienced by Gay and Bisexual Men: Understanding the Disparities and Interventions to Help Eliminate Them," published in the 2008 book Unequal Opportunity: Health Disparities Affecting Gay and Bisexual Men in the United States: "In sum, regardless of the rigor of the sample selection, when comparing MSM [men who have sex with men] samples to general male population samples, and when comparing MSM and heterosexual men within one sample, MSM consistently report more CSA [childhood sexual abuse] overall and more CSA with males than heterosexual men do; and no differences are observed for reported abuse by femalesï¿½ These studies bolster our conclusion that a disparity exists between gay/bisexual men and heterosexual men when it comes to CSA by males http://borngay.procon.org...
