Check the DSM V... wait a minute...

The fact that the DSM doesn't any longer classify homosexuality as a mental "disorder" doesn't mean and doesn't have anything to do with the fact that Homosexuality is a "learned" and trained behavior and thought pattern.

Do you know the process for the compilation and approval of the DSM?

Do you have anything to back up your claims?

No one who has ever watched a lesbian girl or gay boy grow up, believes such outright nonsense as "homosexuality is a learned and trained behavior and thought pattern." It's an absurd idea.

But even if our sexual attractions and preferences were entirely a choice, we each have every right to make those choices without legal interference instituted by bigoted, backwards religious nut jobs.

I'd like to point out that it isn't as simple as nature verses nurture.

Both may play a part.

Some genes are activated by environment. Homosexuality may be caused by genetics but still depend upon a certain environment.

I should note that this is just speculation based upon my limited understanding of genetics. I don't have any data specific to homosexuality to back me up on this one.

Either way it isn't a choice, and there's really nothing wrong with it.

Nearly ALL gay's were sexually molested or experimented on/with while young, and so they got it into their heads that they like it and it's okay, that it's normal.

There is almost not a single person who was actually "born that way", and the ones who think they were, not remembering anything sexual while young has simply suppressed the memory. That's a known fact in the field.

Yeah, gonna have to CFR you on that one...

When we say "born this way," it's not necessarily about genetics. While there may be a genetic component, I believe it's most likely the environment in utero that makes the big difference -- exposure to certain hormones at a certain stage of fetal development.

I wouldn't waste the effort. He knows he's right. It's obviously truthy.

Of course every little girl who turned out to like girls was molested by her mother or another woman with intimate access, and just doesn't remember.

You might think that selective amnesia where there is no evidence of abuse is all too convenient an explanation to make a bad theory fit. But remember the gold plates. They were taken back to Kolob, and we just have to have faith and believe they existed, even if it might seem all too convenient an explanation to prop up a bogus story ("Um... yeah, an angel took them. That's it."). A little exercise of faith works here as well.
