>>Now culture can have some effect. But not a lot. Even in cultures where homosexuals are harassed, beaten and even killed, homosexuals do exist. Who in their right mind would choose that if it were volitional? that is your rationale? Seriously?

There was nothing tricky or gamesman like in my post. Your boiler plate sneer just makes you look intellectually limited. This was very straight forward, concise, and true: All behavior is a choice, including homosexual behavior. Orientation is a more complex matter, which doesn't lend itself to simplistic polarized explanations like genetics vs environmental influence. Not: "Word games, again."

>> It is pretty clear that it has a genetic component. THIS is absolutely incorrect. It is pretty clear there MAY be a genetic component. And that's all you can say at this point. No such component has been isolated as yet. And the studies on identical twins are compelling, although perhaps not absolutely definitive. It is CERTAINLY NOT CRAZY, as Tejek claimed, for a person to believe that homosexuality is acquired behavior. Scientifically, the most that can be said is that in some instances it MAY not be acquired. Simply stated, it is an instance where the vast majority of leftwingers choose to ignore science.
