This paper was written by a clinical psychologist who has been in practice for several years. He has worked with issues surrounding sexuality for many years, and his opinion on this matter should be taken seriously because of his years of experience and his willingness to have an open mind. Most of the controversy has centered around the statement's assertions that homosexual behavior is morally acceptable. Quite aside from the morality issue, I found one particular assertion in the statement contrary to scientific evidence.
Evidence continues to suggest that there is a giveness about it.
That statement is simply not true. John P. Brantner, Norman Garmezy, and Erving I. Gottesmen, prominent psychologists at the University of Minnesota, verify this. Interestingly, the homosexual himself frequently believes in a constitutional explanation, endocrine or otherwise. It was the conclusion of these University of Minnesota scholars and researchers that no persuasive evidence exists for a genetic or physiological cause of homosexual preference. It is, of course, possible, that at some time in the future some such evidence might be discovered.
