> HOW COULD YOU HELP ME WITH MY SO CALLED HOMOPHOBIA?
Praise Gee-suss. He admits his affliction!
> I CAN ONLY TELL YOU TO READ THE BIBLE ON THIS.
*yawn* It was thoroughly underrated ... I preferred the movie.
More violence, less condemnations.
> YOU KNOW I DOES BRING UP A INTERESTING POINT. (NO PUN INTENDED)
> HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN HOMOSEXUALITY BY EVOLUTION.
Quite easily. In my opinion it is a trait that is passed no
differently to other recessive genetic traits.
> WHY WOULD EVOLUTION SELECT A TRAIT WHERE THERE IS NO PROCREATION?
Exactly. Why would evolution allow handedness to be a passed
trait, or eye colour, or hair colour. The last time I checked,
hands, eyes and hair had nothing to do with reproduction.
Clue 1: Genetics determines the whole of us, not just the
reproductive parts.
Clue 2: Gay people can *and do* reproduce.
Clue 3: The best theory so far to sexual orientation (and
strikingly similar in proportions in the population) is the trait
of handedness. It is an influenced trait that spans a spectrum
(varying degrees of hand usage including ambidextrosity), has the
overwhelming proportion of the population predominantly right
handed dominated (92% are pro-right handed over left to some
degree). Culturally it is significant because we used to
punish left-handed people and make them use the right (example,
in teachers of old who made left handers write with their right
because of the old ink and nib method of writing -- using the
left hand smudged what had been written.) Many gay people
describe heterosexual sexual functions as being similar to the
strange feeling they feel when using the odd hand -- they can do
it, probably, but it is awkward and doesn't feel right nor
natural for them and they have no desire to do it.
> OR ARE YOU SAYING THAT IT IS A LEARNED TRAIT?
Please read the clues, dear. If you get a clue or two, you may
actually have some activity for your under-utilised neural
pathways.
> YOURS IN CHRIST
Yours in reality.
