But, there are a couple of things that I want to point out... homosexuality is NOT a preference. Just like you or I find women attractive, there are those who find the same sex attractive. It's inborn (not inbred, dammit! LOL), not a choice... it actually ticks me off when people say "it's a choice," but can't find a way to argue that hetero is just as much of a choice.

I don't dispute that heterosexuality is also a choice. Until someone can uncover some sort of "gay or hetero gene" and fully prove it exists I will continue to believe what I feel is true: sexuality is not a trait attributed to a gene it is a behavior. To this date I have seen no real evidence to indicate otherwise except some half assed excuse for "reasearch" that proves nothing in reality.

I think way too many people blame genes for more than they should. I'm a firm believer in the power of the mind not the power of the gene pool so maybe that skews my take on this and leads me to think too many people these days just want a convenient excuse to be something they don't like instead of working at fixing it. I'm not really talking so much about homosexuality here but more along the lines of...say for example someone who's mom is overweight and they say "Oh great Mom's fat so I'm probably gonna grow up fat" well DUH if you tell yourself that long enough instead of keeping yourself in shape of course you'll be fat. Then once they get fat they blame it on "bad genes" instead of the REAL problem of overeating and lack of exercise. Of course that doesn't apply to all overweight people either (put your flamethrowers down dammit) but anyway I'm getting way off the subject now I guess. Argue on people!
