I was fat, and my family has a definite genetic predisposition towards obesity (that, unlike the whole gay gene, is a proven fact), but I was fat because I did not control my eating habits appropriately. It was my fault, not mom's, not dad's, certainly not McDonald's. Now I am not fat, because I live a more responsible life. I watch what I eat and I exercise.

Carving out most of your stomach helped too, somewhat, but we're on the same side of this debate so I'll drop it :D

ABF, you just said "science hasn't figured it out". Look:

I don't know... maybe it's possible, but... we really don't know. It's obviously very complex, because science hasn't figured it out yet...

See? That can be said for everything you're proposing. We DON'T know yet. Until we do, all we're doing is speculating. My opinion isn't fueled by religion, politics, or anything else. I think what I think because that's what I choose to believe. I've made my own decision. That is possible, you know.

Sure, homosexuals might not be able to stop being attracted to men, but at what point do they <u>start</u>. Normal human male behavior and instinct tells him to mate with a female and create children. That is nature. The idea that nature can, singlehandedly, change around the natural order that has existed for years. At what point does a boy going through puberty start to be attracted to males instead of females?

The idea that humans are born with attraction to the same sex just doesn't ring true to me. Sure, nature's been known to screw up, like with the advanced-aging disease DJ mentioned, but this is so widespread that it seems so unlikely for so many people to be born with this, after millenia of an unwavering pattern of male/female breeding. It seems far, far more likely that a person BECOMES gay and after they're wired that way, they find it difficult to go BACK.
