ParticipantFor you and others like you who believe homosexuality is something that just happens, when does someone become gay? Is there a “gay gene? If so, what causes it? When does the transformation take place? Is it when we’re 2? 4? Or are we born this way?
I haven’t accepted the theory that the 14-year-old boy who is in a lot of pain because he is gay, feels he is gay, or leads a gay lifestyle was born this way. I don’t believe it’s as simple as that. You have to understand that there are other things beside professional training that influence a person’s beliefs.
It is always the mother’s fault Marion. Seriously, I have not come to accept any of this either. However, it might be easier if I were not straight or homophobic or an old fashioned religion believing individual. So it isn’t an intellectual discussion at all..it is about accepting people who are different(than me), who’s shoes I can not walk in. I don’t even think the why matters unless it matters to the person who is gay or at odds with their sexuality. I agree with the person who posted that this is the same as denying a bus seat based on color, only that homosexuality, is less easy to resolve on a viceral basis. In my opinion the problem is of the person who can’t resolve it and doesn’t want to unless they have proof of some sort.

Guestpublicdefender, I’m sorry but I respectfully disagree.
I don’t think you’ve read my previous posts on this thread. It isn’t a “dopey” question because what you are failing to take into account is that we were born to be heterosexual.
Again, it’s a biological thing. We are “wired” to be sexually attracted to the other sex for preservation of our own species. Surely I don’t need to go into further detail on that, do I? Again, consider our sexual organs and how they were made to fit into one another for a purpose. Think hotdog and bun. ;);)
This fact makes your above argument invalid. It’s illogical to use the same argument to compare something that is normal (heterosexuality) to something that isn’t (homosexuality).
People are free to love who and what they want, but that doesn’t mean I have to believe that’s the way it’s supposed to be.
