Prove to me it's a choice.
(Wikipedia):
The adjective homosexual is also used for same-sex sexual relations between persons of the same sex who are not gay or lesbian.
I don't understand the potential for an argument that it's a choice. If it's rape, I don't think it should be considered "sexual relations." Homosexual intercourse is, by all reasonable standards (unless rape is considered), a choice.
Prove to me it's a disease.
I don't think it's a disease. I think persistant homosexual traits can be caused by hormone imbalences, which are obviously the result of genetic mutations. I don't think that's a disease. I think it's a disorder. I'm not saying that all homosexual tendancies result from this, but I am saying that it's a very possible source. Depending on your definition of "disease," I suppose that could be considered as such, but I think that's going too far. I think "disorder" is different than "disease."
I don't mean you saying "O it's bad for society [blah blah]". Give me medical studies and proof it's a disease. Give me reputable surveys of gay people which show it is a choice. Until then, do NOT try to tell me what it is or isn't.
I don't really care if it's bad for society. The relative number of homosexuals is so minimal that it isn't even worth considering that argument. The lack of testosterone leads to the lack of "manly" traits, which would surely help construct homosexual tendancies.
@Myndy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSM-IV_Codes section 1.6 ADD was officially renamed ADHD a little while back. Also, I do agree with you about wanting to raise your child the way you see fit, but a lawsuit is uncalled for.
I thought ADD and ADHD were aliases, but were later merged into one: "ADD?" ADHD used to describe people that had a hard time focusing, but were generally hyper, spastic and random in persona and action. ADD was used to describe someone with the same ultimate effects, but were caused by milder, less hyperactive personalities.
I could be wrong. I could ask my mom. She's an elementary school teacher; she'd probably know.
