Hey Weltall...

[A Black Falcon]

Never expected you to, Weltall... it would have surprised me quite a lot. :)

And this does say that sexuality is genetically controlled, at least to some (probably high) degree! How can you read that and come up with any other conclusion? Wait, I know... its called "denial".

If you feel male you would generally like women, and vice versa... now sure there are all kinds of shades of grey in this issue, but that really shows how much we don't know yet about this issue... we need more research.

You think it's odd because you see everything in black and white. To you it's either "it's only genetic and there's no way to cure it" or "it's their fault and gays are evil!". You refuse to listen to anyone else and instead prefer to stick to your very specific side. I'm open to suggestion, which is why I have no clear-cut side.

Nope. Try reading my post. I say that behavior/environment definitely has a big influence on the brain... but genetics is deeper. Though, as I said, if you try you can convince yourself of almost anything... but the genetic element will always be there.

You misunderstood me. All people have the natural instinct to mate and produce offspring because that is the only way we can keep our species alive. I doubt that ever single human being wants to have children, but I am pretty damn certain that every single capable human being has the urge to have sex. If everyone was gay then there would be no next generation, and all beings would have ceased to exist at the very beginning of this planet's life. The key difference between the way us humans make children and the way every other living creatures does it is that love comes into play for us. When it's only animal instinct then you know it. You just want to fulfill that sexual desire. But love is a completely different thing. If the only thing you care about is bangin' another person then, well, your life is probably pretty empty. Love for another human being is a separate thing from pure animal lust. I don't think I have to explain that. Does that make sense to you?

And how does this pertain to this discussion? I don't really see how it does... homosexuals would see both in their own gender...

How many gay people do you know? You're being a hypocrite right now, saying that one is only "truly" gay if it's completely genetic and unchangeable. I don't believe you honestly believe in that. Think about it for a moment.

A few...

And I don't mean that they aren't gay if it's not genetic... I'd just call it a slightly different category.
