OK mandalorianarmy...you read, but you didn't comprehend. Your response makes that quite obvious. I did not argue that homosexuals ought to be "shunned." I simlpy stated that homosexuality cannot be considered normal by any practical definition. Not wanting to procreate is a key reason why they are not normal, but the argument was not limited to whether or not one decides to create new life. Equating the "mentally challenged" with homosexuality is a non sequiter - and I find it amusing that you would correlate the two. When you speak of people being "programmed" to be heterosexual or homosexual, do you realize just what you are saying? We are not born with innate sexual behaviors. We learn sexuality throughout our life by way of our environment, through conditioning. Like I said - antecedents and consequences. These are the building blocks for what we as adults have been "programmed" to do. It starts at the moment we are born...some say our behaviors are learned starting in the last trimester of pregnancy. In any case, there is no proof of genetic predisposition when it comes to sexual behavior. There can't be. That is why it is called "behavior." Skin color is genetic. We have scientific evidence, lots of it, that supports this fact. The two are not similar. You have to entirely defy science and reason to make that correlation. You are trying to point out a similarity that simply doesn't exist. *If you're interested in reading my articles, Click Here.

http://www.xomba.com/referral/7778de9b http://www.xomba.com/user/adrienne my dear there is a difference, that's just my opinion, and you are entitled to yours--i wont get into the people are programed to be gay just like a gene or genetics or this discussion will never end...homosexuality is a choice, you have a choice.

For everyone who failed to read the article that I linked... This is why you are arguing things that I have proven to be invalid. Is homosexuality a conscious choice? As I said in the article - no, it is not. Does that mean that it is genetic? As I said in the article - no, it is not. Sexuality is a behavior. It certainly is not a physical characteristic (like one's race). Behaviors are learned through antecedents and consequences and sexuality is not exempt from this process of learning. I did not make a conscious effort to "choose" to be a heterosexual. That does not mean that I was "born straight." However, I did choose to have sexual relationships with women. It would do all of you a great service if you took the time to acknowledge what is. It would also help to read my argument before you try to debate my positions. *If you're interested in reading my articles, Click Here.
