I didn't say it was the same as having red hair or type O blood. I said those things were uncommon, but are close to the same percentage of people who are homosexual. You stated that homosexuality was uncommon, I'm saying that they are as common as the things I listed.

It's not? Are you saying that everyone is born the same exact way and that everything in society impacts it? That we are all born with the same taste buds and are not born with a pre-dispositioned liking toward certain tastes? That our brains are all the same and none of us have a genetic makeup that makes us prone to fight, be emotional, or any other charecteristic? That if you switched places with BoyAlley growing up, you'd be homosexual and he'd be spewing Republican talking points on a porn message board?
I don't think murderers are natually born, but I do think that their genetic makeup plays a role. I think homosexuality along with every other behaivoral quirk is a product of both your genetic makeup AND your environment.
But you feel it's based on nature which is fine. But with that thought, you'd have to believe that everyone could be changed. That a child molester can be rehabilitated, that a violent man can be peaceful, that everyone's wants and desires are strictly based on what others around them do.
The problem with your arguement when pertaining to homosexuality is you have no reason for why it occurs. You say it's nurture not nature, yet you can't find any natural coorelation in society. Homosexuals are rich, poor, black, white, have good parents, bad parents, and on and on. They've been around since before Christ. So if you believe homosexuality is nurture not nature, please tell us what causes it since no one on this planet has found any coorelation in society that causes it on a grand scale.
