I think it is because gay reproduction is impossible and the purpose of sex is to reproduce, therefore there must be something wrong with the systems of homosexuals. That does not mean that they are ill, bad, a "defect," (as though they're some kind of machine) or that they should be treated differently from heterosexuals. They are human beings and deserve to have the same rights as everybody else. Side: Yes

unnatural and perverted according to the scripture .... Romans 1 ... http://dadmansabode.com/forum/ Side: Yes
I'm not sure, but any preferences are mentally processed and many cognitive thoughts are predisposed to be executed in a particular manner. So if you prefer your sex you may have been predisposed. I believe that's the same way people prefer inanimate objects rather than other humans. Side: Yes
I wish the question was, 'is homosexuality a choice?', though this is largely the same. If it is a choice, it isn't genetic, and if it isn't, it's likely to have a genetic factor. Personally, I don't see why anyone would choose a life of ridicule - homosexuality, based on my own views, is not a choice. Without research to back this up though, I cannot say that homosexuality is a genetic condition, though this is, perhaps, the most likely explanation. A gene not 'switched off'. A gene not 'switched on'. It seems possible. Side: Yes

If there is a real genetic component to homosexual desires, it has not been discovered.But even if there is a genetic component to desires , that would not give license to behavior . All of ushave desires that we ought not act on. There have been genetic links made to a desire for alcohol,but who would advocate alcoholism? If someone has a genetic attraction to children, does that justify pedophilia? What homosexual activist would say that a genetic predisposition to violence justifies gay-bashing? Desires do not justify behaviors. In fact, there’s a word we use to describethe disciplined restraint of destructive desires– it’s called civilization .But homosexual activists will have none of this. Instead of restraining negative behaviors,homosexual activists are asking us not just to tolerate, but to endorse them. If we adopt theirnarcissistic demands—as J.D. Unwin documented by his study of 86 civilizations-- it may be just afew generations before our nation is destroyed from within Side: No
So what do you have to say about homosexuality? No genetic link has been found. And even if there was, it wouldn't matter. I can confidently say that I was born: selfish, proud, lustful, disobedient, wanting to kill, and prone to anger easily. Does that mean I should act out those behaviors just because I was "born that way?" That is illogical. Side: No
my moms great uncle and descendants except 1 are all hardcore rednecks, hyper religious, homophobics. the except one is my moms cousin. he couldn't be more different. He is married to a guy, he is a fashion designer living in NY. Also, he hates guns and enjoys dressing in drag. no way this is genetic. Side: No
Its possible that there is a genetic factor, however that is but one of many. Regardless, this doesn't change the issue of morality where one ought to be able to choose whomever they want to spend their time with... whether it is genetic or not. you gotta be happy in your own skin man. Side: No

Whatever is the cause, be it genetics, upbringing, or individual choice, the ultimate root of homosexuality (aka faggotry) is God's hatred of the individual in question (Rom. 1:24, 26, 28) so that He may destroy them on this earth, and subject them to eternal hellfire. Rom 9:22-24. Side: No
