For those who believe that homosexuality is genetic (4 Viewers)

[ChockoRepublic]

What's the deal with identical twins, since they share the exact same genetic make up. If one is gay, would it be fair to assume that both are gay?

 

[mcflystargirl]

This is an excellent point.

No it isn't lol why do you have such a poor grasp of science/ reality

there is a genetic predispostion to homosexuality lol it doesn't mean you will 100% be gay lol

 

[SeCKSiiMiNh]

if it was genetic, then wouldn't homosexuals have died out?

Not to mention that the common understanding is that it is to do with early brain development in the womb and such (in combination with genetic predisposition).

and yet it exists throughout the animal kingdom...

Homosexuality can be of a benefit to species that live in groups as it provides another adult male to protect the group from predators without competing with for reproductive rights.

If it were genetic, would they even have been born in the first instance?

All the crap aside, its a behaviour. It's cause, if indeed has one, has not been shown, and is only hinted at by current research, and even if it is shown to be partely biological, it is no excuse for those who engage in its physical manifestations. People have genetic predispositions to alcohol abuse and violence - it isn't an excuse.

Since you're Catholic, I'm going to assume you know evolution is true (actually, I know you accept evolution, because the Pope said so). This leads me to believe you also know that genes can be suppressed, and turn up in later generations. Considering the fact your very Church has long history of either converting or burning homosexuals, if homosexuality was genetic, and your Church converted a homosexual, the gene would have continued on.

Except alcohol abuse and violence have negetive social outcomes. Yay gaydom!

You speak of homosexuality as if it's a crime. But it's not a crime.

I am indifferent to a person's sexual orientation.

how can picking your nose be gross when you're cleaning yourself?

But he's saying that homosexuality is a conscious choice. People don't exactly choose to have mental disorders.

So are you saying it's a mental disorder? I say it is a choice as you can choose to engage in homosexual activities.

I don't hate homos and people that pick their nose btw.
