There was no science presented in that link at all.

In effect, the only relevant material was this comment:

"During the past 30 years, a strong body of evidence has emerged to suggest that sexual orientation is biological. During this same time period, not a single bit of scientific evidence suggests that sexual orientation is learned has appeared."

Okay. Where is the science? Show it to us. Chirp.


Do you feel this constitutes a scientific determination?

They just desperately want it to be a "choice" so they can continue to discriminate against gay men and women. It's a lot harder to justify that, if it's biological.

But even if it were a choice, it's hard to understand the hate. I mean homosexuals tend to be better educated. They tend to earn more.

What's not to love? I mean, just because the people next door engage in buggery, doesn't mean you have to. My neighbor has nipple rings- I'm certainly not getting those, but if he wants to pierce his nipples, what do I care? Heck, one of my teaching assistants is a Trump Humper. Should I shun him? No- he gets the same spring break gifts as the other TA's- even though he's absent a lot more. Just because you don't like the way people live, doesn't mean you should meddle in their lives- unless their choices directly affect you- like smoking, which, when done in public, assaults non-smokers with smoke. Buggery doesn't assault non buggerers with anything- except maybe the idea that somewhere, someone is enjoying buggery- but that's the problem of the obsessed buggery thinker, not the buggerers. And, of course, I'm not suggesting hetero's can't enjoy a bit of buggery nor do I suggest that homosexuals don't have a varied slate of sexual options to choose from also.
