There was a time when the majority of people did not want interacial marriages either; so no it doesn't matter what the majority wants.

You cant be serious......."so no it doesn't matter what the majority wants"???? You must have missed civics class huh?? That quote has to be about the most unAmerican statement I've heard on this website. I see your point about back in the day that the majority didnt want interacial marriages. BUT and a big BUT......The people went out and changed that.....Go ahead. Pick up the gay flag and wave that baby all the way to Washington. I support that right. I never said that I was anti-gay.....But how can you reasonably say that it doesnt matter what the majority of Americans want??? You have clearly stated what I believe to be wrong with America today: The wishes of the the majority of the American people are being outright ignored. Respectfully

. . . People who are born homosexual will die a homosexual. The others can just chalk it up as experience, at least they know what they want or don't want after the experience.

do you realise i said nothing about having sex in that post? who is the one with sex on the brain?
(a) Of all animals, human beings are the most genetically indeterminate. In the words of Dr. Joseph Wortis, Department of Psychiatry, State University of New York: "no complex high-level behaviour of the human species can be reduced to genetic endowment, not language, not house-building and not sexual behaviour[6] "Preferential and exclusive homosexuality is not naturally found in any infrahuman mammalian species[7] and it would be odd for such behaviour in humans to be genetically determined.
(c) Another factor which makes genetic theories implausible are cultural considerations relating to attitudes towards homosexual behaviour. The prevalence of such behaviour increases in cultures indifferent to such behaviour, and a casual attitude towards sex in general. For instance in ancient Graeco-Roman culture, homosexual behaviour was tolerated and was highly prevalent[9] , whereas in cultures in which it was disapproved of, homosexuality was much more rare[10]. Dr. Baron, from the Department of Psychiatry, Columbia University, New York, commented in the British Medical Journal recently that " it would be difficult to envisage a change in the prevalence of a genetic trait merely in response to changing cultural norms[8] ."
