Is homosexuality a choice?

[OPTIONAL777]

It has everything to do with your religion...

Which you don't even follow, because you lie about the fact that you argue from your religious beliefs...

Quote from jem:

zzz you fricken lowlife supporter of child molestation... this has nothing to do with my religion.

When a state has a law reads that a marriage is between a man and a women. You would have to argue the law is unconstitutional.

The key to the outcome will be whether the U.S. Supreme court chooses a strict scrutiny standard of review or a rational basis standard of review.

The U.S. supreme court has never said that those who have gay sex are a protected class (the way blacks are a protected class).

Therefore a rational basis test should be employed to test the law. Laws subjected to the rational basis are always found constitutional.

Therefore laws defining marriage as being between a man or a women are constitutional.

zzz it took me five minutes to write this. It will take you a very long time to understand what I wrote is the gravaman of the matter.

I updated my quote to explain to you that as an american i support your right to be gay with your troll friends who are adults.

Your entire thesis about what drives my decisions is not suprisingly ass backwards.

For someone to argue or believe that gayness is not a choice, that person would have to have first hand knowledge. In other words, they would have to be gay themselves.

So who on this thread wants to come out of the closet and admit they are gay?

I wouldn't put too much credibility into that line of thought. Ask a drunk why he drinks. The answers could range from thirsty to genetic.

Since secular institutions do not recognize the concept of sin, they recognize the breaking of laws, to answer your question, one must travel to where the concept of "sin" is recognized...

Once there, then yes, we are told that it is a sin......no greater or less a sin than any other......

It's all sematics.

It's a choice in the sense that you can choose what you want.

It's not a choice in the sense that you can't choose what you want to want.

 

[BernardRichards]

Tendencies are not choices. They are genetic.

One may have a tendency to get angry or violent, but one can how choose how to express that anger or violence.

One may express one's violent tendencies by becoming a murderer or a soldier in defense of his country for example.

Focusing on the male side, males differ in how masculine or femine they are. This is a genetic predisposition, but they can still choose whether they want to be heterosexual or homosexual. For example, an iffeminate male can choose a masculine male or a female with masculine qualities as a sexual partner.

The purpose of sex is reproduction and biological evolution of our species.

Thus, a sexual union between members of the same sex is, by definition, not in support of nature. Or, in other words, unnatural.

Now, if people want to engage in that, certainly fine with me.

But it should NOT be sanctioned or supported by government policies.

"The purpose of sex is reproduction and biological evolution of our species."

Then every time anyone masturbates is unnatural, every time a woman or man who is sterile has sex is unnatural, old women who have are too old biologically to have children when they have sex is unnatural, any man who has a vasectomy having sex is unnatural, any woman who has had a hysterectomy when she has sex is unnatural...

No, sex has a purpose beyond procreation...

Animals in the wild have sex with other members of the same sex...

Are you really as dense as your statement above?
