Is Homosexuality determined or nurtured by our immoral society?

Image
The notion of the homosexual as a deeply disturbed deviant in need of treatment was the orthodoxy built on Biblical scripture which remains true but secularism has rejected this notion along all other forms of sexual restraint.  There is good reason to believe now, more than ever before, that many homosexuals can be successfully treated by psychotherapy, and we should encourage homosexuals to seek this help.[3] Such views about the origin of homosexual preferences have become part of political culture as well. When, in 1992, Vice-President Dan Quayle offered the view that homosexuality "is more of a choice than a biological situation.... It is a wrong choice,"[4] he merely reasserted the belief that homosexuality reflected psychological conditioning with little biological basis, and certainly without being influenced by a person's biological inheritance . And now we have the much publicized spectacle-- Time magazine has taken up the story in a dramatic feature entitl...

Homosexual activist says there is no gay gene

 - One of the untouchable dogmas of the homosexualist movement is the assertion of the existence of a "gay gene", or a genetic marker that causes same-sex attraction . The assertion of a genetic factor in homosexual preference has never been demonstrated by scientists and now at least one prominent campaigner in the British homosexualist movement has admitted this fact. Peter Tatchell , an Australian -born British homosexual activist who founded the "direct action" group OutRage! that specialises in media stunts such as disrupting Christian religious services, wrote on Spiked Online that he agrees with the scientific consensus that there is no such thing as a "gay gene." Contrary to the findings of some researchers who have tried to posit a purely genetic origin for same-sex attractions, Tatchell wrote, " Genes and hormones may predispose a person to one sexuality rather than another. But that’s all. Predisposition and determination are two dif...

Born Gay just no way

Women on Top: How Real Life Has Changed Women's Sexual Fantasies (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) The Advocate, a gay and lesbian magazine, asked readers what they believed the potential impact would be to the advancement of gay and lesbian rights if a scientific discovery proves a biological basis for homosexuality. About 61 percent of the magazine’s readers asserted that such scientific research would advance the cause of gays and lesbians and lead to more positive attitudes toward homosexuality.  For example, if one can be born gay, much as one can be born with brown eyes, then a fair society could not possibly condemn him as being unnatural or immoral. To that end, gay activists and the liberal media have actively encouraged the idea that homosexuality is inherited and unchangeable, and researchers have diligently sought scientific evidence to back up that claim.  Unfortunately for the pro-homosexuality movement, the research on this subject has failed to establish a...

Born Gay: No way?

Homosexuals today commonly claim that they cannot help being homosexual. Homosexuality, they argue, is innate: perhaps genetically determined, in any case inescapable. It is what they are. God made them that way. Therefore, they conclude, church and society should accept their homosexuality as natural and normal. Similar questions arise in other areas. Some years ago, it was learned that an abnormally high proportion of men with a “double y” ( XYY ) chromosome engage in anti-social or criminal behavior. Later came the discovery that a certain gene is associated with a relatively high percentage of alcoholics. And still more recently, Simon LeVay , a gay activist and neuroscientist, argued that there are some significant differences between the brains of exclusive homosexuals and those of presumed heterosexuals. Does this research imply that homosexuality is an innate condition rather than a choice? Can it not be helped, and therefore accepted as normal? I believe there were some f...

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Many laymen now believe that homosexuality is part of   who a person really is  ­ from the moment of conception. The "genetic and unchangeable" theory has been actively promoted by gay activists and the popular media. Is homosexuality really an inborn and normal variant of human nature? No. There is no evidence that shows that homosexuality is simply "genetic."  And none of the research claims there is.   Only the press and certain researchers do, when speaking in sound bites to the public. How The Public Was Misled In July of 1993, the prestigious research journal  Science  published a study by Dean Hamer which claims that there might be a gene for homosexuality. Research seemed to be on the verge of proving that homosexuality is innate, genetic and therefore unchangeablea normal variant of human nature. Soon afterward, Nati...
