Hey Weltall...

Wellyes, being homosexual clearly isn't what nature would want. 'Defect'? Sounds somewhat harsh... for most homosexuals though I would think that it is a genetic thing. Something goes wrong somewhere and they end up different from the rest of their gender... there are a lot of physical differences between men and women (genetically and mentally), as that article makes clear, and who knows how many of them have to mess up for people to have some kind of non-normal sexuality... but I would think that for most people who are homosexual that is the reason. Choice? Maybe a very few, but that is in no way the same... you can convince yourself of most anything, but deep down you do have some kind of genetic predisposition. And then your early-life experiences shape most of the rest of your brain... once you hit a certain age, changing your brain becomes pretty hard. So whether these things happen because of genetics, or genetics and very early life experience, or (as is probably the case), the person themselves makes no choices. Not even people with pedophilia... I very much doubt anyone would choose something like that!

One direct reason? Maybe not. Most things, after all, come from a mixture of various factors, all of them important...

Oh yeah, and I never believe those 'I was cured of my homosexuality' stories. For almost all homosexuals that just is not physically possible.
