I might also add that the taboo against homosexuality today is also a human choice. Yes, the problem with the sort of evidence you are giving is whether it is simply societal acknowledgement of homosexuality. Does societal acceptance lead to people choosing homosexuality? That is a different, and AFIAK, unanswered question. It can certainly lead to more practicing homosexuals. Conversely, societal pressure certainly leads many homosexuals to attempt to lead heterosexual lives. I have known some such individuals. They usually divorce later in life, leaving a startled wife and kids.

But those were societal choices. The greatest amount of sociological, documented evidence that we have today points more clearly to homosexuality as a human choice, not a genetic necessity. I might also add that the taboo against homosexuality today is also a human choice. That may be true with the same people who teach creationism but most scientists and psychologists believe its genetically driven with the environment maybe having an impact. Why would anyone choose to be gay in this society? The level of discrimination gays face in this country is overwhelming. You are way off on this one. ted
