Homosexuality

"Homosexuality is completely alright, natural, and not wrong, evil, demonic, a mental disorder, a choice, and not something you can change." Because making a claim automatically makes that claim true. Right." I was only trying to type my opinion. "Homosexuality is not a choice, no one would make the the choice to risk being discriminated, tortured, killed, locked up, fined, etc." So you're saying that humans are always rational and they never do harmful stuff? Why do some people in certain Islamic countries commit adultery when they know they'll be stoned for it? Why do people in the United States do illegal drugs when (obviously) such drugs are illegal to possess and/or use and they could go to jail for it? There is a difference between having a desire to do something and not having a choice about said thing." I do in fact take that back. "A gay gene has been discovered already." Oh? Please provide evidence for this claim. But like I said before, having a desire to do something doesn't mean that you have to do something. There is a little something called self-restraint and self-discipline. If we were to follow your logic, meth addicts should be left alone. Psychopaths with ultra-violent minds should be allowed to kill as they please. Desire is no excuse for breaking the law, and it is no excuse for homosexuality." http://www.youtube.com... (Get Educated On Homosexuality, YouTube) "Homosexuality prevents breeding. There is no species (that I am aware of) which practices population control. Even locusts and krill don't do much (if anything) to handle their outrageously high populations. Therefore, any and all cases of homosexuality are contrary to nature, just like a third arm in a human or a chicken is. Besides having no apparent purpose (naturally occurring sterility sterility could handle population control much better without introducing a whole village to the sexually transmitted diseases perpetrated through homosexual activity), homosexuality also has the potential for devastating a nation. According to this link (Liberal bias notwithstanding), the actual number of gay men in the United States is approximately 5% of the male population. http://www.nytimes.com...... It's reasonable to assume that the percentage of Lesbians is around the same. Ultimately, this would mean that AT LEAST 5% of the United States wouldn't breed if all LGBT people "came out of the closet" (not counting the people who aren't gay who don't have kids). This is important because the U.S. population growth is currently at unsustainable levels. http://www.lifenews.com...... To keep the American population from declining, everyone able adult should have kids, which will raise the population to sustainable levels." Modern science cannot state conclusively what causes sexual orientation, but a great many studies suggest that it is the result of biological and environmental forces, not a personal "choice." One of the more recent is a 2008 Swedish study of twins (the world's largest twin study) that appeared in The Archives of Sexual Behavior and concluded that "[h]omosexual behaviour is largely shaped by genetics and random environmental factors." Dr. Qazi Rahman, study co-author and a leading scientist on human sexual orientation, said: "This study puts cold water on any concerns that we are looking for a single 'gay gene' or a single environmental variable which could be used to 'select out' homosexuality " the factors which influence sexual orientation are complex. And we are not simply talking about homosexuality here " heterosexual behaviour is also influenced by a mixture of genetic and environmental factors." Interestingly, some scientists think they have come up with the answer. There does seem to be a genetic component to homosexuality, but how would it be passed on? The answer is that female relatives of gay men seem to be somewhat more sexual, and have more children, and that passes on the gene of homosexuality and it also causes the women to reproduce more, thereby meeting the needs of reproduction and continuation. Reproducing isn't the purpose of life, either, it's just a goal. If you want to continue this debate, I can make another one so we can go on, if that's what you prefer. G'Luck!
