HOMOSEXUALITY

The recent Supreme Court ruling striking down a Texas anti-sodomy law brings into question what factors were considered when the law was originally passed. A homosexual person is one who is sexually attracted to others of the same sex. Except for a genetic variation of nature, they are virtually identical to their heterosexual counter parts. They feel the very same kind of attraction to the same sex as heterosexuals feel about the opposite sex. Now, granted, there are those people who freely choose this behavior as a form of "life style" but that accounts for a very small population of homosexuals. In fact, if one is not genetically predispositioned for this behavior then by definition they are not truly homosexual but rather some deviant variation of perverted behavior. Some would argue that the Bible condemns homosexuality but I believe (through the persistence of science) this behavior will be proven to result from natural genetic variation. One can draw on the example of retarded people who by no action of their own are born comparatively slow or deficient in mental, physical, or emotional growth. Homosexual people are therefore entitled to engage in sexual behavior consistent with their genetic makeup so long as it is between consenting adults. To deny them this right would be the same as denying heterosexuals their right to consensual sex. Some would argue that sexuality is strictly for the purpose of reproduction but yet the animal kingdom has many variations of species who also cannot reproduce. Human beings are sexual beings as was intended by their creator and to suggest that a genetic variation of nature somehow makes homosexuals less human is indeed an inhuman concept.

1. I believe there is some debate as to the validity of the genetic predisposition theory?? And, to say that there is a sub-group of homosexuals that are not genetically inclined and to call them deviant is a little bit odd don't you think? How can one who is performing an act not be called like another- under your scenario- deviant?

2. Sodomy also refers to fellatio-something hetero's perform in their bedrooms across the world daily.

Not all homosexual people are genetically predisposed that way. There are many people of this world who actually were active with the opposite sex but after much abuse and even many bad experiences were turned of to sexual relations of that nature and actually became active in the sexual activity of the same sex. In fact I know of someone who has been through this themselves. So no, Tyriffic you are right this is not a predisposed nature of our beings. Not in the slightest bit.
