What you mean, of course, is that the sex into which they were born is an important component of their personality, and that they should fulfill its imperatives as surely as they should fulfill the imperative to breath or speak.

Not exactly, if you mean by 'fullfilling the imperatives of their sex' they must have sex as nature has plumbed them.

What I mean has little to do with actual physical sexual intercourse. All of us are most fundamentally comprised of biological contributions of exactly one man and exactly one woman, all human reality flows from that objective biological fact. That which comments on such things and yet fails to reflect this fundamental human nature is a distortion of that nature. There is not a shred of subjectivity to it at all.

Even if "being homosexual" is the basic component of someone's personality, the orientation must be seen as a defect, just as a predisposition to drug abuse is a defect. We should take compassion on those who are thus predisposed, but we ought not claim their condition part of our fundamental identity as a race of beings.

I can see you'd like to exit this discussion and I will allow you to do it. Though we disagree in part on this issue, I hope you understand I certainly hold nothing against you personally because of our differences in opinion. Indeed, I quite enjoy the difference. I should also say I hold nothing against homosexuals personally either, despite appearances.
