Cow of Shame Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 I believe that for some homosexuals, there is a genetic component to their attractoin. However, we are more than our biological bits!! (You might have the urge to mate with anything on two legs, but you certainly shouldn't act upon it.) Having a 'broken' gene for your ability to regulate how much alcohol is appropriate to drink, or who you should take to bed DOES NOT automaticaly condemn someone to being an alcoholic or homosexual. -- Your environment influences your actions, but does not set them in stone. I've known people who were raised in wonderful, loving families & have nothing but hate & spite in their hearts. I've known people who were raised in mockery, families devoid of love & compassion, yet are very loving, giving & charitable individuals. To say that all homosexuals have 'chosen' to be attracted to the same sex oversimplifies the problem. We are complex creatures, influenced by both our genetics & our environment...yet amazingly built so that our [b]actions might be greater than either of these[/b]. Our abilities to do so do not preclude the facts that we are built from our DNA, and that DNA can be just as faulted as the rest of the fall of man that you see around you.
