Right, just like being gay is an innate, intrinsic part of who a person is. I know some people still spread and/or choose to believe that being gay is a "choice", but that absurd myth has been disproven by every credible scientific, medical, psychological & educational organization. The only folks who cling to the "choice" lie are those with a dishonest anti-gay agenda.

@MattFrame The difference you seem to be missing, being Jewish, black or all the other things you mentioned are all something a person IS. Being gay is a choice, but just like alcoholism it takes a choice to change. The popular belief is to say gay's were born this way, but you would have to understand the power addiction and sin has over a person and their mind.

You can't begin to understand that if you cling to the idea it's normal.

Only pro-gay are saying evidence proves it.

Well now you know, any fruit flies reading this are now enlightened as to the sexuality of their species.......

@MasterCSX Certain behaviours (promiscuity and lack of protection) more common in some homosexuals increase risk of some diseases. Homosexuality itself doesn't really increase risks. You can be both gay and safe sexually, and of anything the open gays tend to be pretty safe and healthy (it's the closet cases that tend to do the worst of the risky behaviours). And of course, I doubt your considering lesbians (who have much lower STD risks, including HIV risk, than straight women).

@Sound5tracks, of course I cannot believe in "evidence" that does not exist in the the real world. You can complain about my not believing the moon is made of cheese, or that the sun revolves around the earth, but I must accept reality the way it is, not the way you wish it could be. Sorry.

[Sound5tracks]

@MattFrame you just proved my point....you don't even believe there is evidence so how can you even consider it? One day you will remember this moment.

I'm done .... I don't argue with people that won't see at least two sides to an issue.

@Sound5tracks says, "The evidence that proves homosexuality is considered flawed or wrong is dismissed and you won't see it as credible."

There IS no proof that innate characteristics like homosexuality are "wrong", so naturally I can't accept non-existent evidence as credible.

"People can justify anything they choose so they don't have to take responsibility or feel guilty."

Of course, there's no rational reason for feeling guilty about accepting yourself the way God made you.

[Sound5tracks]

@MattFrame Every bit of evidence? The evidence that proves homosexuality is considered flawed or wrong is dismissed and you won't see it as credible. I can't fix that. People can justify anything they choose so they don't have to take responsibility or feel guilty. Just one of those human flaws, or is it the fact God gave us free will?

Remember, there are consequences to our free will.

It will be called genocide if nature is not allowed to take it's course.
