What Evidence Is There That Being Gay Is Inborn??
Question by mmmk92: What evidence is there that being gay is inborn??
ARGUMENT #1-A: Simon LeVay And the Hypothalamus
DISPROVEN 17% OF LEVAY’S FINDINGS CONTRADICT HIS OWN CLAIMS.
ARGUMENT #1-B: Twins BY BAILEY&PILLARD
DISPROVEN.First, Pillard and Bailey’s findings actually indicate that something besides genes must account for homosexuality. If 48% of identical twins, who are closely linked genetically, do NOT share the same sexual orientation, then genetics alone CANNOT account for homosexuality
, all of the twins Pillard and Bailey studied were raised in the same household.
ARGUMENT #1-C: Genes
is illogical in that it assumes inborn means normal or morally acceptable.That assumption is faulty, for 2 reasons:
First, “inborn” and “normal” are not necessarily the same
Second, inborn tendencies towards certain behaviors (like homosexuality) do not make those behaviors moral. They have also found that obesity, violence, alcoholism and adultery are found to be inborn from parents.Surely we’re not going to say they are legitimate?
TO RAQUEL WHAT EVIDENCE IS THERE THAT BEING HETEROSEXUAL IS INBORN.
EHEM IT’S A SHOCKER
95% OF THE POPULATION.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THAT STATISTIC I SHALL GLADLY OBLIGE EMAIL ME.
TO CHRIS EVEN IT IS INBORN WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE.
SAY HELLO TO JOE AGAIN FORMER PRO GAY THEOLOGIAN ACTIVIST AND PASTOR.
It assumes inborn means normal or morally acceptable . That assumption is faulty, for three reasons:
First, “inborn” and “normal” are not necessarily the same. Even if homosexuality is someday proven to be inborn, inborn does not necessarily mean normal. Any number of defects or handicaps, for example, may be inborn, but we’d hardly call them normal for that reason alone. Why should we be compelled to call homosexuality normal, just because it may be inborn?
Second, inborn tendencies towards certain behaviors (like homosexuality) do not make those behaviors moral. Studies in the past fifteen years indicate a variety of behaviors may have their roots in genetics or biology:obesity, violence, alcoholism and adultery.
Surely we’re not going to say that obesity, violence, alcoholism and adultery are legitimate because they were inherited.
Third, we are a fallen race, born in sin
There are mental, psychological, physical and sexual aspects of our beings that God never intended us to have. “Inborn,” in short, does not mean “divinely sanctioned.”
We Truly Love Each Other. That Can’t Be Wrong!”
The argument is misleading in that it assumes love sanctifies a relationship.
And with all the hatred and violence in the world, why knock a loving relationship between any two people? Because love, in and of itself, does not make a relationship right.
Love is not enough to justify a relationship.
A married man can fall deeply in love with a woman other than his wife; that will never sanctify adultery.
CASE CLOSED.
JOE IS A FORMER PRO-GAY ACTIVIST, THEOLOGIAN , AND PASTOR.
