does it really matter who someone likes as long as theyre both consenting adults
What a terrific article. Long time since I've seen anything in the mainstream press going against the biological basis for homosexuality dogma.
I have to say though, this scared me: .
Who gives a fuck?
i agree entirly
So what? What difference does it make?
Exactly. Why do people think it matters. If someone is gay, they're gay, whether they were born gay or actively decided to be gay, does it matter in the slightest? No.
There would be some that say that it does make a difference. I can't think of why it would.
It only really makes a difference if you think its a problem, or if you really care whether it is 'natural' or not.
Yes, it might be a sin in terms of some view points, but I think that has a lot more to do with God than other people.
If I want to be gay and if its a sin, then thats my fault, thats my problem with God, no-one elses.
If it is predetermined or not, that is a big step in understanding our sexuality, and what defines it.
Obviously studies like this are going to be abused, that is unfortuante, but they are important to carry out.
I think the women who wrote this artical is so that way that she cant imagin another way, and thinks that she chose it. It does matter as traditionaly homophobes have argued its a choice and gays have argued it isnt,
Why not? People choose to experiment quite often.
Perhaps not all but many of the people who insist on saying it is a lifestyle choice have a fucking nasty agenda at work IMO.
A lot of it does end up sounding like that being gay is a moral failing and if only they tried a bit harder then they could be 'normal' and straight.
Its not your fault if you are gay because its not a failing or a problem.
yes, but whether it's a sin because of the inherited genes due to the sinful nature of humans, or whether you choose due to the sinful nature of humans doesn't really make a difference.
Yes, but if its an inherited thing, and being gay in of itself is a sin, even if you dont act on it, isnt that a bit unfair?
I'm not sure to be honest. My understand is that all humanity is inherrantly sinful, and therefore there's nothing we can do to be righteous. Which is why we needed Jesus to die for us, a truely sinless man to take the punishment for our sin.
But then I think most 'sins' are between the 'sinner' and God, and really none of anyone elses business.
If I've done something wrong which doesnt harm you then I've incured God's rath, not you.
You may be "inherrantly sinful". I'm not.
Absolutly.
we live in a scoeity where as long as what you do is consensual and has no direct effect on anyone else, its tolerated
doing research as part of human nature sort of thing is alrite, but homosexuality has been around for millenia now
I'm glad you finally saw sense and agreed with me.
I always agree with you, you're the mods choice.
And the people's choice too.
(choice for what is up for debate)
It's about understanding, Biology, Psychology, science, that sort of thing.
No shit sherlock. But really, surely studies on criminality would be more helpful.
It doesn't make a difference to some but for others like the author of the article it means a hell of a lot.
She is obviously upset that people (gay or straight) see her sexuality as biologically inevitable because of her gene make up.
Perhaps many gay people believe the same thing, I haven't got a clue if they do, what I found interesting is that its theory I have not read before from a gay woman's perspective.
although i'm not gay i know how it feels, best thing to do is be comfortable with your sexuality, fuck those who think otherwise, your actually very lucky to live in a time like this where gays are accepted to a degree.
