Because a person is always born, as you say "heterosexual", does not necessarily mean they are born with a heterosexual sexual orientation. There are some women born with an extra Y chromosome... How do you classify those folks. I’d classify them as abnormal, anomalous, and the mere fact their conditions exist is no reason to champion the condition as normal. What determines a person's sexuality if all are born hetero.... No one knows for certain what causes our sexual inclinations. I think it is quite clear they are mostly dictated by fundamental biological identity, which is why almost all people pair with the opposite sex (the sexual bipolarity within the human race fundamentally exists also in each of our bodies, even in each of our cells). Those whose sexual inclinations do not thusly conform to their biological identity are possibly shaped by external influences as well as by certain genetic predispositions. As humans we nevertheless have the faculty of thought and are therefore not to be so ruled by our flaws that we should excuse or force others to accept them as equal to the norm. Some people are inclined to have sex with animals. The same logic applies against this as applies against homosexuality. If you allow one, you absolutely must allow the other, and cries of “animal abuse!” simply will not float because in that case neutering, petting, de-clawing, washing, feeding, caging, essentially owning an animal is abusive. The reason these sexual anomalies are repulsive to us is because they are utterly foreign to us – aberrant, abnormal. Many of us tolerate them in others because if we are not ourselves afflicted with these illnesses we know and love others who are. That is why in defense of homosexuality, often we hear homosexuals appealing to the works of such men as Oscar Wilde. It is through our love of such people's work that the homosexuals wish us to accept their homosexuality and thus homosexuality in general. It is of course a hopelessly fallacious approach and so the vast majority of humans will yet instinctively reject homosexuality because fundamentally it simply does not define any of us.
