For me, the biggest fight has been to not be ashamed of being gay. I've spent my life living to please others. Being "the good son, the gentleman, the good respectful guy. At the end of the day I realized all that had gotten me was alone. Now I live to please me. Im not getting a second chance at this life. The rest is noise.

It is important for homosexuality to be seen as being chosen because, before something can be seen as being wrong it first must be seen as being chosen, and therefore subconsciously worthy of contempt and hatred through the stone of subjective comparison. While one may indeed choose to express their sexuality, that is not what defines one's sexuality. But rather, the inward desire, or fundamental orientation itself. And that orientation is not chosen, neither is it a lifestyle. The reason that we never hear the term " heterosexual lifestyle " is because there is no need to categorize heterosexuality with such descriptively inherent connotative oversimplification in order to subconsciously justify contempt and hatred through subjective comparison. This description categorizes gay people in order to make it easier to dehumanize them. For people to be seen as individuals can threaten said dehumanization by making it harder to demonize and vilify them. I have a straight brother who tells me that there are plenty of straight people that are promiscuous, etc. Yet, these people are not categorized in order to vilify and demonize them. The lifestyles of gay people can a d do differ, just as the lifestyles of heterosexual people. But such reality humanize gay people too much, threatening people's ability to view others as evil in order to view themselves as good.

@akrenwinkle oh, yes, this term has the clear connotative inference that heterosexuality and procreation are necessary in order to possess values such as respect and fairness, etc. Said inference ultimately perpetuates the self validating delusion of heterosexuality possessing moral validity. This is a religiously indoctrinated lie. Further, said term carries the clear connotative inference that people choose their ( good and valid) sexuality. Another lie.

The Bible says God prefers for people to be in LGBT relationships. Anyone that teaches the LIE of monetary tithing, sells anything using the gospel, or teaches that same-sex marriage is a sin CHOOSES to die with the wicked. Luke 10:7 states the only wages for ministering are eating and drinking whatever you are given. Also, know that rich people will all die. You can't be a Christian, sit on all kinds of money, watch your fellow brothers and sisters starve, suffer, or be homeless, choose to do nothing about it, and think that it's ok. Those are all wolves. Mathew 19:12 Eunuchs that are born that way are transgender. Eunuchs made that way by others were abused in some way and something inside of them blocks off a certain type of body but it doesn't happen to everyone that is abused. Those that choose to live like Eunuchs FOR THE SAKE OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN are bisexual people that choose partners of the same sex-characteristics but opposite in regards to gender. Notice, it states God PREFERS for people to be in LGBT relationships. Leviticus, Corinthians, and Timothy were translated wrong by Billy Graham. Those verses are actually referring to pedophilia. Romans 1:27 All of the men were male in regards to gender, all of the women were female in gender. It is not referring to Eunuchs (where one partner is transgender). Also, it had nothing to do with marriage of any kind. They were trying to procreate during orgies so God did it on purpose. Anyone that continues to teach same sex marriage is a sin when the Bible says God prefers for people to be in LGBT relationships will also die by their own choice. In order to be a church building, the place must house people inside of it. Otherwise it is just another private money-making business part of Babylon that furthers satan's agenda. Stay out of the fake churches. Eventually, they will be shut down. I am Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6 and Acts 3:22-23 says it will come to pass that anyone that fails to listen to me will be UTTERLY destroyed from among the people. Again, everyone has a choice. And anyone that deletes my messages CHOOSES to reject Jesus Christ Himself and that means they also CHOOSE to die with the wicked. I am Elijah so that means any discrepancies in the holy books are ultimately decided by me. I am also to usher in the Messiah! Be ready: Jesus is coming back! Malachi 3 says when He comes back, He will come to me first wherever I am at at that time. WORLD PEACE IS COMING!! By the way, anything based on gender norms no longer applies. In fact, the last will be first and the first will be last. It's women that will mostly be ruling the kingdom of heaven. Rich people do NOT get into heaven. A camel can not go through the eye of a needle. Malachi 2 proves Malachi 3:8-11 is talking to the thieving church leaders! It's prophetic instruction to return the money they were never supposed to take for ministering and God will end Covid. Every major church and fake Christian television network around the world knew how to end Covid since August of 2020, but they LOVE MONEY so much they intentionally chose to kill people with Covid instead of repenting and bringing all the stolen money back that they were never supposed to take in the first place.. Rapture is NOT what most people think. Read Malachi 4:2-4. It's when God's true people transfigure and shine like the sun with glory of God RIGHT HERE ON EARTH! Spiritually, yes, people will enter the demension of heaven, but nobody physically leaves. Jesus comes back to literally walk this planet and rule. I already had a vision I was above the clouds looking at a red/ orange sun about to rise! Pre-tribulation rapture is false teaching. Tribulations is the refining fire of torture Christians have to experience in order to get to heaven. Only those who endure to the end will survive. The 144,000 are coming out; they have already experienced hell on earth (tribulations), mainly by people who calld themselves Christians but are merely wolves that will die unless they repent and apologize............

The reason for homosexuality's survival is because it's natural. There is nothing abnormal or different about it. The problem is us humans that put societal moral precepts on how people should behave according to the way they think and see the world. My Gay friends both men and women are the smartest, most talented people I know. I had a gay/lesbian sister who recently died, my granddaughter, at 12 came out and announced that she liked girls. She did question her identity and her parents told her that she could do what ever she wanted once she finished her schooling, which included playing basketball, choir, art/painting, guitar and piano lessons and all the things that teenagers do. When it was time for college, she came around to say that she also likes boys. She now has more choices. I recently learned that homosexuality is part of natures way of controlling, population. So much fuss, really people let people live and mind your own business. Why so serious!!!! Hooray for love 🥰

It’s amazing the hate towards the LGBTQ+ community from Christians and Republicans in America. It is natural and look at the rest of the animal kingdom. Even in the Bible, there were many forms of marriage which included MANY wives, concubines, and whomever else on the side, including same sex. Religion just needs to go screw off and mind their own ignorant business.

My dad was a urologist in Laguna Beach, California, from the early 1960s until the 2000’s. He’s a first generation Italian Catholic American. He spent his time with the male patients in his practice to ask about their sexual identity. It was taboo then. And his practice spanned the AIDS epidemic. He left his catholic upbringing behind to adopt the understanding that a person is born gay. It’s not a choice FFs. That was a very novel proclamation decades ago. But he sure taught his 8 kids to be understanding and open minded. He was a good man. Love is love, it’s not defined by an ancient edict that persecutes any of us as consenting adults.

I have never believed that my being gay was my choice, because it certainly wasn't. As far back as I can remember, I was always different in many ways. I remember at kindergarten or nursery school that I was bullied for being a "sissy". It wasn't that I walked differently. I certainly talked differently. My mum was Irish and growing up in northern England I didn't develop the dialect. We spend those first years with our mothers. So my accent leaned towards hers not my fathers, who had a thick dialect. So at school I sounded different. It got me beaten by fists a few times and my whole school experience was terrible. I couldn't wait to leave. I do remember such things as major sports, Soccer, Cricket, Basketball etc I hated. I did like tennis. I also found it easier to play with girls rather than boys, which I found them to be too brutal. By age 7 I found myself attracted to male articles of clothing, i.e. Leather jackets on men, not women. By 11 I found myself attracted to men. I remember watching a film one night where two men were wrestling in their suits on the floor and I becoming aroused. I prayed to God like crazy to take these feelings away. I begged and cried to Him but nothing changed. I knew I didn't want these feelings. I denied them for a long time. I knew that the bullying and ostracism I had experienced in childhood would become worse in adulthood. By 19, I was trying to switch my fantasies and sexual urges to women but it was useless. So I attempted suicide. That's why I know, no young gay person chooses to be gay. Who in their right mind would "choose" to be ostracized and become an outcast of society? Mine wasn't a choice. I KNOW that I was born this way. This documentary only confirms what I already knew. Now I accept myself for what I am, but it took a long time.

No one is 100% male-typical or 100% female-typical, but on average homosexual people are generally more atypical than heterosexual people. Gay men are shifted in a female direction compared with straight men, and lesbians are shifted in a male direction compared with straight women. These are only shifts and not complete gender reversals, and they don't affect every gender trait. Gay men have at least some gender atypical traits(some more than others) but few have the entire package. Gay people remain gender typical in a variety of traits, especially those related to sexuality, such as their interest in casual sex. Similarly not all straight people are completely gender typical either. A study found that a minority of straight people share a predisposing factor with gay people of the same sex. It's likely this predisposing factor is one that predicts gender nonconformity in childhood and/or in adulthood. It has been hypothesized that homosexuality results from inhereting a set of several feminizing genes. If this hypothesis is correct, the straight men who share a predisposing factor with gay men might be those who have inherited some of these feminizing genes, but not enough to make them gay. To some extent, homosexuality is part of a package of mental traits, many of which can be considered gender-variant or gender non-conformist, whereas heterosexuality is part of a package of gender-typical or gender-conformist. This arises because all these traits differentiate under the influence of a common biological process-the sexual differentiation of the brain under the influence of sex hormones. Boys are more active than girls, and they engage in more rough-and-tumble. Boys and girls have different toys preferences. Boys prefer toy vehicles, toy weapons, balls and construction toys; girls have a broader preferences, but tend to prefer dolls and household items such as toy kitchen implements. Girls are more interested in infants than are boys. Boys have better throwing accuracy but girls have better control of fine hand movements. Boys do better than girls at a range of visuospatial tasks, such as targeting(throwing accuracy) and mental rotation(deciding whether two objects seen from different viewpoints are identical or not) Girls have better verbal fluency than boys. Girls are more people oriented; boys are more thing oriented. Boys prefer the company of boys; girls prefer that of girls. Girls and boys voices are recognizably different, even though there is no difference in the pitch of their voices before puberty. All these statements are statements or averages of course, and don't necessarily apply to individual children. These gendered characteristics exist in non-human animals also. Some of these gendered traits arise very early in life. For example present on the day of birth: newborn females prefer to look at faces and males prefer to look at mechanical mobiles. The male superiority in mental rotation is evident by 3-5months of age. Difference in toy preference are evident at 3-8 months of age. There is evidence prenatal hormones influence at least some of these gendered traits. With experimental animals, it's a fairly straightforward matter to demonstrate this and it has been proven in multiple animals. This kind of intentional experiment would be unethical in humans, but something similar has occurred the form of "experiments of nature" meaning genetic conditions that affect the hormonal environment during fetal life have proven this affect. and shown that high prenatal testosterone leads to masculine traits and low level lead to feminine traits. Large scale studies have documented very sizeable and statistically significant shifts in gender-typed behaviours of pre-gay children, both boys and girls, compared with pre-straight children of the same sex. Pre-gay children participated less in gender-typical activities and more in gender-atypical activities. Still, not all children-whether pre-gay or pre-straight- conformed to these patterns. The same studies have been carried out across different cultures and the findings were consistent. In all cultures, pre gay boys were less aggressive and less interested in sports than pre straight boys on average. They were more likely to have associated with girls and to have participated in typical girls activities. Studies have recruited gender-conforming boys(more masculine) and more feminine boys and interviewed the, and their parents, repeatedly during the boys childhood and adolescence. The results were striking; of the control group of 35 gender-conforming boys on follow up through to young adulthood, all were heterosexual. of the 44 feminine boys only 11 were heterosexual and 33 were homosexual or bisexual. The feminine boys were more likely to become gay or bisexual adults. Several other prospective studies have reached similar conclusions. Boys, are typically exposed to higher levels of testosterone in the womb, and tend to gravitate toward male-typical interests and behaviours and related occupations in adulthood. and being sexually attracted to women upon reaching puberty. A boy who is exposed to lower levels of is more likely to be more female-typical when he is born, gravitating toward more female-typical interests and behavior, since girls are also generally exposed to lower levels of testosterone. He will also be sexually attracted to men in adulthood. Testosterone is needed to “masculinize” a prenatal brain; if that doesn’t happen, the child will grow up to desire men.These differences in gay mens brains make them similar to most women(female-typical) who experience attraction to men(andrphilia) and the differences in lesbians brains make them similar to most men(male-typical) who experience attraction to women(gynephilia) In area of cognition, women perform better than men at some memory tasks, including episodic memory(memory of events) verbal memory and memory of the locations of objects. They are also better at tests of verbal fluency(quickly coming up with words that match a certain category) and some other verbal skills, face recognition, and behavioral tasks requiring fine hand movements. Men perform better than women at variety of visuospatial tasks such as mental rotation, targeting accuracy, and navigation(especially when navigating by distant landmarks or compass directions rather than by local cues) In areas of personality, men rank higher than women on measures of assertiveness, competivness, aggressiveness, and independence(these getting things done traits are sometimes referred to collectively as instrumentality). Women rank higher than men on measures of expressivness, sociability, empathy, openness to feelings, altruism and neuroticism.(the last item includes the tendency to depression, anxiety, self-consciousness, and low self esteem) Men prefer thing-oriented activities and occupations(e.g carpenter) whereas women prefer people-oriented activities and occupations(e.g social worker) Women have better developed aesthetic interests and less developed technological interests than men. As with childhood traits, the gendered traits of adults appear to be influenced by biological factors, such as genes and sex hormones. Many of the sex differences exist widely across different countries and cultures, including illiterate populations, as well as among those who are well-educated, and across societies that enforce traditional gender roles as well as those that are more egalitarian. Infact, gender differences in personality seem to become to become more marked as societies cast off traditional expectations about the roles of men and women. Many gendered traits that are gendered in humans are also gendered in non humans primates and other mammals. The visuospatial test that shows the most consistent and large sex difference in the mental rotation test, in which men outperform women. At least several research groups have conducted sizeable studies comparing performance at this task between gay and straight subjects. Six of these studies-one of them an internet-based test by several hundred thousand subjects from around the world reported that gay men perform less well than straight men. With regard to women, studies found a shift in the opposite direction-that is lesbians performed better at the task than did straight women. In another study gay men performed worse than straight men at targeting(throwing a ball to the centre on a target a few feet away) and lesbians performed better than straight women. They examined navigation strategies. They found that the strategy preferred by gay men(use of nearby-landmarks) resemled that preferred by straight women., and differed from that preferred by straight men( use of distant landmarks or compass bearings) Two large studies found differences in the ability to judge the orientation of a line-a male favouring task, gay men performed worse than straight men on this task. and lesbians performed better than straight women. There is considerable evidence that gay peoples visuospatial abilities are shifted, on average in the direction of the other sex. Women tend to outperform men in verbal fluency and some related verbal skills. in a study measuring verbal fluency the gay men performed significantly better than the straight men and about as well as the straight women, whereas the lesbians scored significantly worse than the straight women and about as badly as the heterosexual men In another study on memory tasks gay men outperformed straight men and did as well as straight women.

In studies on occupational preferences that noted that all the masculine occupations were thing-orientated, whereas at least three of the feminine occupations were people orientated. The study showed a major gender shift among gay men and women in the people-thing dimention, with gay mens interests shifted toward people like straight women and gay womens shifted towards things like heterosexual men. MRI scans showed In straight men the right hemisphere was 2% larger than the left. In straight women, the two hemispheres were the same size. In gay men the two hemispheres were also the same size. In lesbians the right hemisphere was slightly larger than the left. Also there was marked differences in the left and right amygdalas of straight men and women. In straight men the right amygdala was more richly connected with other brain regions than was the left amygdala, whereas in straight women the left amygdala was more richly connected. Whats more, the main functional connections formned by the amygdala were to different brain regions in the two sexes. In gay men and lesbians, these characteristics were almost entirely sex-atypical; the findings in gay men resembled those of straight women, and the findings in lesbians resembled those of straight men. At least two studies have reported that gay men score higher than straight men on tests of empathy-a female favoring trait. Gay men and bisexual men also score higher on tests of aesthetic interest, another female favouring trait. Several studies have reported that gay men are less physically aggressive than heterosexual men and one of these found lesbians are more physically aggressive than heterosexual women. Gay people also tend to be gender shifted in instrumentality and expressiveness(these are sets of male-favouring traits) A region of the hypothamalamus called the medical preoptic area is involved in the regulation of male-typical behaviours, and within this area lies at least one cell group that is larger in males than females. In rats this cell group is called the sexually dimorphic nucleus of the preoptic area(SDN-POA) and in humans it is called the third interstitial nucleus of the anterior hypothalamus(INAH3) It is suspected that the rats SDN-POA and the human INAH3 are homologous structures, meaning that they have evolved from the same structure in the common ancestor of rats and humans. Studies have showed the INAH3 is significantly smaller in gay men than straight men. Infact there is no significant difference between its size in the gay men and in women. Activity pattern in this region of the hypothalamus have been reported to differ between gay and straight men. Another structure in the hypothalamus have been reported to differ in size between gay and straight men. A cell group called the suprachiasmatic nucleus was larger in gay men than in straight men. The suprachiasmatic nucleus is concerned with the regulation of circadian rhythms,. The size of this commissure is known to be larger in women than in men. In animals, sexual interactions between same sex partners (male mounting another male or female mounting another female) are observed in a broad variety of animal species. Often, these behaviors are expressed only when a suitable partner of the opposite sex is not available due to captivity (zoo or other captive populations), or when a skewed sex ratio in the population, or the presence of dominant males is preventing access to females. These behaviors do not represent a true same sex preference but serve as an outlet for sexual motivation in the absence of suitable partners of the opposite sex. The only case known of spontaneous same sex preference has been studied in detail and it concerns a sheep population in the western part of the United States( this has no been found in wild sheep, only these domesticated rams) a fraction of rams in this population mate exclusively with other males when given a choice between a male or female partner. The SDN of the ovine POA (oSDN), a brain structure that is approximately three times larger in males than in females and contains about four times more neurons, was shown to be significantly smaller in male-oriented rams than in female-oriented rams. The oSDN also contained fewer neurons and expressed aromatase at reduced levels in male-oriented rams than in female-oriented rams. The features of this nucleus therefore correlate with sexual partner preference: subjects attracted to males (females and male-oriented rams) are similar and distinguished from subjects attracted to females female-oriented rams. The volume of the oSDN is already larger in males than in females around the end of embryonic life and differentiates under the influence of testosterone in males. Embryonic treatment of females with testosterone between 30 and 90 d of gestation results in a masculinized oSDN in females. Furthermore, the size of this nucleus is no longer modified in adulthood by castration or treatment with testosterone. If the small size of oSDN in male-oriented rams is determined like in females by a relative lack of early exposure to testosterone, it likely represents (one of) the cause(s), and not a consequence, of their atypical sexual attraction. This nucleus is indeed located in the center of the POA, a region involved in the control of sexual behavior and male-typical partner preferences, and it would in this scenario differentiate before subjects had an opportunity to express their sexual partner preference. In conclusion, these studies demonstrate that sexual orientation in animals is a sexually differentiated feature like other sexually differentiated behaviors or morphological characteristics. Male-typical sexual orientation is controlled at least in part by the POA (like sexual behavior), and it differentiates under the influence of pre-/perinatal sex steroids. In rats and sheep, the size of a potentially homologous nucleus located in the same part of the POA (SDN-POA in rat, oSDN in sheep) is irreversibly determined by embryonic sex steroids. Moreover, lesions of this nucleus in adult male rats or ferrets modifies sexual partner preference, an animal model of sexual orientation. If the same mechanisms control the development of INAH3 in humans, the smaller INAH3 of gay men most likely be a marker of deficient exposure to androgens during ontogeny and a cause of the modified sexual orientation. The differences between the sexes result from the early exposure of embryos to a different endocrine milieu: a high concentration of testosterone for male embryos in mammals and a much lower exposure to sex steroids in females. These differentiating (organizing) effects usually occur early in life, during the embryonic period or just after birth and are irreversible. These organizing actions of sex steroids on behavior are paralleled by irreversible changes in brain structure. Embryonic sex steroids differentiate the size of several brain structures, including the sexually dimorphic nucleus of the preoptic area (SDN-POA). This group of cells is five to six times larger in male than in females, and this difference results almost exclusively from the action of testosterone during late embryonic life and the first days of postnatal life. Once acquired, the sex-typical size of the SDN-POA cannot be altered in adulthood by steroid hormones. The sexual preference of a male for a female is controlled, like the expression of male-typical sexual behavior, by the medial part of the POA. Experimental lesion of this brain region causes a reversal of the males' preference in rats and ferrets: after surgery, they prefer to spend time with other males rather than with sexually receptive females. Exposure to testosterone (or its metabolite estradiol) induces male-typical partner preference (preference for a female over a male sex partner), whereas in the absence of high concentrations of these steroids, a female pattern of mate preference will develop (preference for male partner). Sexual orientation is not affected by activational effects of steroids in adulthood. Gonadectomy does not influence orientation nor does adult treatment with androgens and estrogens. Furthermore, numerous studies have clearly established that plasma concentrations of sex steroids are perfectly “normal” (typical of the gonadal sex) in both gay men and lesbians. On average, male embryos are exposed to higher concentrations of testosterone than female embryos, but these concentrations vary around a mean value for various reasons (environmental, genetic, etc.). Male subjects at the lower end of this sex-specific distribution could thus acquire a female-typical orientation (and be gay), whereas females at the high end of the concentration curve would acquire a male-typical sexual attraction and be lesbian. Even if they are not attracted by the same specific individuals, females and gay men share an attraction for men, whereas males and lesbians share an attraction for women. Genital structures and the brain (supporting behavior) presumably differentiate at different times during embryonic life, hence steroid action in the brain may be affected while remaining normal in the genital skin. To produce its effects, testosterone must often be metabolized in its target structures, bind to specific receptors, and then activate complex intracellular signaling cascades, eventually leading to changes in protein synthesis and/or neural activity. Any aspect of this complex suite of actions could be deficient in the brain but not in the periphery, leading also to a discrepancy between somatic sex differentiation and sexual orientation.

I was somehow totally drawn to them. I obviously didn't understand this very nice feeling and it took me many years to understand why I was attracted to men.

This description, with its clear oversimplification of choice, is used by haters in order to subconsciously justify contempt and hatred through subjective comparison. Ask any straight person when they chose to be straight and watch their response. That is because they never did. However, they cannot acknowledge this without also acknowledging the fact that neither do gay people choose to be gay. And such acknowledgement infringes on their ability to see others as evil in order to see themselves as good.

Christian children were regularly thrown into the streets, gay men were murdered due to the permissive atmosphere caused by the dehumanization of homosexuality. Gay children in schools were beaten, spat upon, driven to suicide, called" faggot " continuously, etc. All due to that good old Christian love! Yet the formation of said dehumanization that leads to the permissive atmosphere for such things to occur is not considered wrong, because it is done under the guise of religion in order to justify hatred through delusional self validation.

This is interesting. I have always believed that some guy people actually have genes that make them born that way. I think it's very rare. But many choose to be gay because of experiences. Some experimental. Others it's just to be in the in crowd because it is bringing attention to themselves. What I don't understand is why we are making such a big deal about it and why we are exploiting it. I have had many friends, co workers that were gay. We love each other for our characters and who we are. WE are all just human. We except differences in all of us. Stop making it a big deal.

As a scientist I have tried to take the "metacognitive" angle to look into my own orientation. The scientific approach certainly offers a better explanation than that of my Roman Catholic convert, Republican brother-in-law, i.e. That I am demonically possessed.

Your brother-in - law is taking a misinformed point of view. The Church would acknowledge your orientation but its teaching (up until recently) would teach that you must be celebrate. Pope Francis and many Bishops - especially the German ones talk about "inclusiveness." Traditionally the church teaches that homosexuality is intrinsically wrong but it does not condemn a gay guy as someone who is influenced by the devil. By the way, there are many gay priests including bishops who are gay.

They missed out two aspects that it acts as a population limiter from when in the wild and if the mother is very highly stressed during pregnancy, the outcome of a gay son becomes stronger? Caring shows up in natural populations too- re the survival of the fittest is about the group, not the individual? Within tribes of African dog species (hopefully still alive- endangered,) if an animal is critically injured for surviving, the others will nurture it and look after it: A dog received a very bad compound leg fracture where the bone was sticking out of which could not heal to be useful. It became a 3 legged surviver. There were dogs that bring it food, guard it and would walk with it when the tribe moved on to a new area, for whatever reason. David Attenborough observed this outcome when they first saw a dog with a very bad break that was unsurvivable to it's living environment they said. They visited these dogs again two years later and to their surprise the dog was still alive and they saw how it was cared for. Survival is not simple, there are many factors governing it.

Years ago, I had a female co-worker whose first two sons were gay. She then had a heterosexual female child, after which she had a pair of fraternal twins, M & F, who were both gay. Four out of five children turned out gay. I've always thought they would make an interesting case study for some research project.

@@mselbit All sexual relationships should be consensual, between adults capable of making informed choices, but then you know that. Bestiality of course is not between consenting adults, as animals do not have the capacity to consider their situation and offer their consent. Incest not only presents us with the problem of inbreeding, but as incest occurs within families there is the added possibility of coercion, with power dynamics and secrecy being added to the equation. if, however, it were to be same sex activity between two sisters or two brothers, with no coercion involved, I would have no problem with that. Finally if you want to justify something using a book of old tales of unproven provenance, be it the Torah, the Bible or the Koran, go ahead, but don't expect society to be bound by that.

@@tonybennett4159 As I said, the Torah is not a "book of old tales." It is the blueprint of Creation.

I expect society to discover, very soon, that it has been bound all along to just the Noachide laws, not the 613 commandments the Jews are held to.

@@mselbit "It is the blueprint for Creation" is your claim, a claim I don't accept, it has to be demonstrated and carries no more weight than that of the Catholic church which claims there is an unbroken line from St Peter to the present pope. You claim that the Torah is not a book of tales, yet you make reference to the flood, which is very much a tale, with no evidence in the geological record to support it. You also mention the story of Sodom, yet Lot was only too happy to offer his two daughters to the mob instead of the two strangers, for which the girls exacted revenge later in the tale by getting the old man drunk so they could mount him, all very immoral, and nothing that could possibly be interpreted as giving good lessons for life. AIDS was prevalent in the gay community for a while in Western countries, but that was not the case in sub-Saharan Africa, so you present an unbalanced view if you mention the one and not the other. Now that, in the west at least, AIDS has largely been overcome, is this a sign that along with other infectious or contagious diseases it is losing its stigma? Would we not be better tackling the problem of human overflow into habitats mostly occupied by wild animals which it appears was the starting point for both HIV and COVID, and rather ominously for future lethal cross-overs? There is no common ground between the two of us, as I will never accept ancient texts as being the word of god (or gods), or of pointing us to better ways of doing things, when our laws owe more to the enlightenment than they do to the ten commandments, only two of which (murder and theft) having any representation in our legal frameworks. Therefore it seems to me, we have little more we can usefully discuss.

@@serpentlaw5961 -- I am not denying that there are not gay first born sons. But, when you look at scientifically significant statistics that show patterns, there are no patterns or propensity for first born sons to be gay over any other birth order of sons. But, there is a greater percentage chance of anyone who is born after the first born to be gay than there is of the first born to be gay. And there is a greater chance the third born son is gay than either the first or the second. And even greater for the 4th son and so on. There is a statistical pattern there that gets statistically greater after each time a prior son is born. If say 5 percent of the total population is gay, that means that one in every 20 sons should be gay. But, that is not how it works. There is a far less chance an older son or an only son will be gay than the younger son of multiple fraternal children born of the same mother. It seems not to matter who the father is. It is the physiology/biology inside the mother's womb that somehow tells her or her genes to cut back on the heterosexuality of a son the more sons she has and to give birth to a son or sons who are predetermined in her womb to be gay instead. And it does not matter if the sons stay in the same household after birth. One or mor could be adopted out or live with the father and a different mother. And there is still a greater chance that the son with older fraternal (male) siblings is gay than there is that the older son would be gay. That seems to indicate that this is a function of predisposition at birth from within the mother's womb and not a matter of the environment in which they grew up in. It is the same with twins. There is still a greater chance that one of two twins is born gay than there is of just two non-twin brothers to be gay. And it does not matter if the twins lived their life in the same household or were separated and raised apart. All this indicates a higher propensity that people are born gay at the point they come out of the womb and that environment (where and with whom they live) has very little to do with them being gay or not.
