I didn't say we know all the facts, we don't... obviously more recearch has to be done, especially on humans. But animals just are not intelligent in the same way as humans...
Some influence from nurture? I never said that that was impossible... it probably does have an impact. And as I've said there are different levels of homosexuality -- it's not an on/off switch, its a continuum...
You just cannot explain it all away with nurture. It's just impossible. Sure in some cases animals have social-based and not biological-based homosexuality, but the same is true in humans -- look at ancient Greece. The existence of some nurture-based homosexuality just proves that nature-based homosexuality exists on a different level of the continuum -- one farther on the line, the ones from who it truly is genetic...
Transsexuals are along a similar line, I think.
This kind of does prove that wrong, I would say... Sure natural isn't always right, but there's a little bit of a difference between killing someone and sexuality...

Quote:The only other thing I could think he might be doing is implying I believe homosexuality is some unnatural, man-made behavior, which I never said nor implied. I say it's deviant and abnormal, which it is.
