My question would be: Does homeboy take notes while watching 60 Minutes?

At some point, are we going to have to change our paradigm when it comes to the cause of homosexuality?

Do we know the cause of homosexuality?
I've heard that it's a choice and I've heard that people are born gay. Is there any proof confirming either? Or is it all speculation?

Which begs the question: Do gay men act gay or feminine?
I say they act gay, but I'm sure I'd get castigated by the sympathetic masses were I to say further, other than to say..I've rarely seen a gay man act like a woman,,,unless he were a cross dresser. |

Oh wait, I guess that’s the whole point … they are rats, and as rats their tiny brain is incapable of cognizant thought unlike the human brain ;-) The rats merely reacted to stimuli, in a controlled environment, like High school freshman :-P … of course in the wild would these same animals react the same way? Interesting questions? |

What's equally interesting is the subject of addiction, or more specifically alcoholism ... it has also been proven that genetics plays a significant role in determining whether an individual is more prone to alcohol or drug addiction … When was this genetic aberration introduced into the human gene pool, was it there from the very beginning? Choice plays a significant role in the whole equation –it cannot be dismissed by the mere claim that it is simply a matter of genetics. My thought process transcends religious conviction on this subject –it’s certainly not as simple as; it’s a sin therefore … |

i've met gay men who were not effeminate at all.
i don't believe anyone thinks it is entirely genetic. there are also environmental causes. but being bathed in hormones or an immune response in utero is hardly a "choice". i think most gay men will tell you, when i became sexually aware, I was attracted to men. just like most of us were attracted to women. there are many "gay" men who never engage in homosexual sex. they subjugate their desires and even have families. some percent of these end up not being able to carry through over the years, and the tales of family til 40, gay after are plenty. the church, as far as I can tell, has no guidance to offer when it comes to understanding why some people report, from the earliest age, being attracted to the same sex. it defies simple theological explanation. as long as there is no explanation, I don't much have the desire to join the church's crusade against gay civil unions/marriage etc. |

involved in what? the political effort?
I find it curious that of the myriad moral problems in the world, the church focuses almost exclusively on gay marriage. For me, it's not an issue that keeps me up at night. World hunger and disease takes a back seat to denying the clothing company FCUK a trademark, in my ward. |
