Ditto, for one to imply the English dictionary word "homophoobe" does not mean a fearer of homosexuals.

Annnnd we're back to square one. The question I asked was how Homosexuals were born that way. You answered with, they were born that way.
What?

Why do you care so much about why I care so much?
In actuality, I care more about where the attraction origination from, not the action. Why are you in my thread? You're annoying

Sorry, you're wrong.
By your logic all those things also fall into the same catergory as heterosexuality.
Heterosexuality and homosexuality and bisexuality are not choices.
Only the sexual act itself is the choice.

Right, I'm sure we develop sexuality when were a baby...where do you get these people ATS? Oh yeah I forgot. Unless your talking about the babies born half woman half man then lay the blame to the mother.
What else you got? See I can be cool too.

No, the lack of strong male role models for little girls have been shown that promiscuity and lesbianism are as a result of them not having that daddy that teaches them what a man really is meant to be.
Add to it the onslaught of female hormones and endocrine disruptors in milk and other foods as well as all our water supplies it's not a streach to see where the core of the problem is.
Of course we could have other genetic factors that actually are passed at birth but without first addressing all the factors we are left with more of a political debate than that of any scientific nature.
I think that is where the op is coming from.
lol, btw, if you are implying that I think it's ok if it's 2 lesbians, I think you might watch too much porn.
The fact that they are lesbians simply turns me off...why? Because they don't want or need me silly

Alright, let me start off by saying I do not by ANY means have hatred toward Homosexuals. Yes, you can see my avatar very clearly to the left - but make no mistake, I love Homosexuals with all of my heart, and so does God. I am a Christian, and though I do not approve of Homosexual relations (i.e. sexual relations between same genders, lusting, etc.), I classify it as any other sexual sin - i.e., fornication, sexual immorality, adultery and lusting. Yes, that means we are ALL guilty of sin, except for those who aren't attracted to ANYTHING, because apparently there are some people out there like that.
However, I have a sincere, honest question in response to the claim LGBTs and LGBT-defenders make - that they are, for some reason, born that way. For example - we wouldn't discriminate someone who was born with a disease or something, because it isn't their fault, they had no choice, they were born that way.
So, we've all heard that argument before. First off - to be born in a certain way, we are talking about genetics, correct? So, somebody with a heart disease, possibly received that disease because of a parent, an uncle, a grandparent, etc. It was in their family - that is why you hear the commercials that say "If your family has a history of heart problems", etc, etc.
Now, here's where I'm confused. You get your genetics from your BIOLOGIC parents, correct? So.. how do homosexuals "receive" these supposed "inherent" genes.. if they got them from HETEROSEXUAL parents?
It is a proven fact, undeniably so, that there has never, EVER been a case of a homosexual couple having a biologic child - they can adopt, sure. But that child got his genetics from his BIOLOGICAL parents.
So, LGBTs and LGBT defenders, please answer this for me - where does the gene come from that makes a homosexual "born that way"?

Do you work in biology? Genetics? Oh, I see, a christian. You say you love them but you don't approve of their expression of love. Anyway, I don't think you should be casting judgement here. I highly doubt you're a saint. But I'm sure you hold onto the belief that you'll possibly go to heaven anyway. Like the majority of christians and catholics. I guess that means the gays still have hope. That is if they still care for said religions seeing how hypocritical, hateful, and judgmental many of their followers are. Jesus would be proud.

Please highlight in my original post where I made the statement that homosexuals are acting by choice. Thank you.
Please show where in my post that i said you did, do it now.
I posted that because it is a false division that is commonly presented in this type of discussion and is about as logical as saying that since a baby was born without cancer that he MUST have chosen to get cancer. Homosexuals are not born gay, that comes latter. It is not right or wrong it just is. Besides, god says gays can't do it missionary (don't lie down with a woman the way you would with a man). As long as they are not doin it face to face they can go to haven with Jesus.
Just curious, since Jesus died for your sins wouldn't it be letting him die in vein if you didn't sin?
Technically speaking, I never said you did say that I did. But now we're just circle jerking.
I should have made this clear, though - this thread is not about CHOICE, it's about genetics, hereditary genes, etc. It's about the origins of the homosexual gene, if there even IS one. And no, that makes no sense. Cancer is a disease, homosexuality isn't. I mean, not in my opinion.
And Homosexuals can go to Heaven, if they truly believe in Christ and actively get conviction for ANY of their sins, whether they are liars, drug addicts, porn addicts, WHATEVER. Jesus died for the sins of ALL. Homosexuals aren't excluded.
And are you serious? I sin EVERY, SINGLE, DAY of my LIFE. Letting him die in vein? I'd be letting him die in vein if I didn't believe in him. Silly question.

Here's my post from the 2nd page of this thread, toward the end.

Their "expression" of love is what is known as LUST. The Greeks have 5 different words for love, and in English, we only have one. Lust isn't love, lust is the desire, the sexual preference, etc. I simply want to know where that attraction originated from - if not hereditary, then where?

Food for thought. Why would anyone chose to be gay knowing that society people in society rather could potentially kill them for being gay. Make sense of that.

gay and straight have always been around. no more now than in the past. the only difference is how we view it and the press it recieves.
lots of people think crime is rampant, cause of the news, yet the fbi says crime is lower now than in the last 30 yrs. same with gays, no more or less of them, they just get more press now.
back in the day, status mattered not sexual preference. for example, a roman male could sleep with males or females, so long as he was in charge. no shame. however, if he got seduced by someone of lower class than him, male or female, then it was shameful. it was based on who played the "male" part, not to get to graphic.
