[quote=Rustico]As I was walking back to my office to look at this thread, I expected that mudslinging would have returned to the thread. Bingo.[/quote]
Normally I’m totally with you on the mud slinging, and I rarely sling it myself – only when fired upon, or when someone says something so inane that I lose control of my typing fingers – e.g.,
[quote=paramount]Homosexuality is a behavior, not an eye or hair color.[/quote]
Those people don’t think it’s possible for someone to be innately attracted to the same gender, but not because they have any evidence for it – it’s a taught prejudice like any other. Gays must be deluding themselves, or are mentally damaged in some way. In some cases that’s true, but what about the majority who had completely normal childhoods?
Here on Earth, what little evidence we have points to the brain’s structure having the biggest influence. Their attraction to the same gender is just as powerful as that of a heterosexual to the opposite gender, most weren’t brainwashed or damaged, and they have no more desire to change than I do to become gay.
All that said, I actually agree with those who think there are more important things to teach in our schools.
