@TheZeroNeonix I don't think people who "disagree" with intrinsic, unchangeable characteristics such as attraction are necessarily "jerks," but more so just ignorant and afraid to acknowledge the fact that people don't "choose" who they are attracted to. There are structural characteristics in the hypothalamus region of the brain that determine your orientation; your ability to be sexually aroused comes later during puberty as hormone levels increase, but your orientation does not change.

@chipan9191 Actually, attraction and "urges" are completely different; attraction determines your orientation, and does not change. You are born heterosexual/bisexual/homosexu­al; people aren't born pedophiles/beastophiles/necrop­hiles. You don't have an argument considering the fact that children, animals, and dead bodies cannot give consent to sex or marriage. Might want to do your research before presenting your flawed logic.

Wow.. making the homosexual seem like an asshole was really low of you.

[Trustmeimawriter]

This is like a neo nazi complaining that people aren't tolerating him. Tolerating unconventional love is totally different that tolerating the senseless hate of the kind of morons that use God as an excuse to be bigots and idiots.

cont.-Yes there has been studies of this. And since almost 50% of homosexuals get therapy this is a plausible cause. I am in no way saying that this is for certain, I'm just simply stating a suggestion.

(continued) The possibility of 1. (homosexual child causes sexual abuse by adult) is viable, but lacks a strong theoretical justification or empirical support. 2. is viable, and has a strong theoretical justification (abused child has/gets non-standard sexual drives), but no empirical support. 3. Genetic, Physiological environment, Psychological environment, causes both abuse and homosexuality. No empirical evidence, but good theoretical support.

A complex model.

@mirellap1000 Really, I think that the social left and the social right are both guilty of propaganda on this issue. I consistently hear pseudoscience and misrepresentations of good science in both camps.

You're right about correlation and causation applying to sexual abuse. But realize what the three possibilities are

1.Homosexuality causes childhood sexual abuse

2.Childhood sexual abuse causes Homosexuality

3.Both are caused by a third, underlying cause

@DarthJeffery Yes I know I said it isn't a choice. I understand that the science on homosexuality is very very complex, and there are so much more reasons. Anyways just because there is correlation between homosexuality and sexual abuse, it does not mean causation. A basic principle in statistics, "correlation is not causation." You must consider many factors first, and well that get's even more complex.

[DarthJeffery]

@331mperez you said that "IT IS NOT A CHOICE". Also, you said that "A person's orientation is determined biologically". Simply put, your view is not based on evidence (not that it is definitely false). The science on homosexuality is complex, and you only offered selective plausible models of homosexuality. There are other models, which are based on say, sexual abuse or gender role models. To ignore those without strong evidence is unscientific.

@DarthJeffery Umm...don't you mean that my view is empirical?? Are you referring to my opinion about society being dogmatic or about the facts I presented? Cuz the latter would not make sense. Anyways there has been research done in this area. Even animals display homosexual behavior, and they are closer to developing on a biological path. Hmm...I guess my professors have been lying to me all this time. What has this world come to? lol
