The Right Wing is going off into loony land where science and the laws of physics cease to exist. It's a national psychosis.

@RascalCoyote @RascalCoyote - The scientific definition of "theory" is not the everyday definition of "theory" as used by most. A common distinction made in science is between theories and hypotheses. Hypotheses are individual empirically testable conjectures, while theories are collections of hypotheses that are logically linked together into a coherent explanation of some aspect of reality and which have individually or jointly received some empirical support.

@peaceliberty4all - People in the majority always assume that minorities are "deviants" that the nature of bigotry. The most artistic, intelligent and creative people throughout human history have been Gay or Lesbian.

@ateanis I am not sure where you are getting that I believe it is a "choice" I never stated any such thing. I simply argue that people are not born gay. The fact that it occurs in nature does not mean it naturally occurs in humans as there are many things that occur in nature that don't apply to the human species. Lame argument IMO.

@peaceliberty4all if homosexuality is indeed a choice, not something that occurs due to genetics or some other biological factors, then why is it observed in other mammalian species? if it is not 'natural' then why does it occur in nature? and before you make the argument, you cannot say that man should be above his baser instincts and then turn around and make the argument against homosexuality based on supposed natural supremacy.

When Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon Church, ran for President of the United States he met w/ the Pres & members of Congress about his plans to turn the country into a "Theodemocracy" because his Mormon group doesnt believe in a separation of Church & State

He sent campaign managers to the different states & was so persuasive & optomistic of winning he even sent ambassadors to different countries

But he was assassinated.

Mormons wept & yet 150 yrs later the dream is about to come true!

@Atlavocat As for "change", it has been proven time and again that ex-gay therapies do not work and cause more damage. All major medical organizations including the APA and the AMA denounce the use of these so-called therapies. And the physical sexual attraction remains with those who have gone through this type of "therapy". I should have stated this in my previous posts, especially as it relates to the topic this video addresses, but sexuality cannot be changed.

@Atlavocat In all honesty, I actually agree with you. I know of the studies you mentioned and their findings (I keep up on this because of personal reasons) . I also know that what happens in the womb(the bombardment of estrogen to make the fetus more acceptable to the woman's body) may also predetermine ones sexuality. The main point of my previous comment was that for her to say that heterosexuality was fixed at birth but homosexuality could never be is in fact completely erroneous.
