Of course, these findings were only published after they were absolutely sure, and others have tried, and failed, to disprove them.

To summarize/translate, physical difference between male brains and female brains is actually more so between straight male brains and gay male brains. That means this is how they were born (or created, for you religious types) and their feelings are just as real as anyone else's.

There are more physical differences than just the anterior commissure that are measurable and not affected by environment to show that homosexuals are born that way and have no choice in sexual orientation.
The hypothalamic differences between homosexual and heterosexual brains were identified in 1991, the anterior commissure differences in 1992... Yet, few people are apparently aware, and the issue is still debated as if these studies don't exist.
Trying to stop same-sex Civil Unions is as much a prejudice as preventing people from marrying another nationality than their own. Shouting "f****t" is no less wrong than shouting "n****r" and the "icky" feelings are as wrong as those one might feel the first time confronted with another race.
Homophobia is a choice founded in environment, homosexuality is not.
Those of you with spouses, imagine if it was "wrong" to love them and ask yourself, "Would I be able and willing to make the choice not to love because someone else says God says my love is wrong?"
Better still, would you be able to pretend with someone of your same sex if that was what was expected of you?
It is no less outrageous to expect a gay person to live as straight or without ever knowing romantic love.
I seek out fact and truth. I have not been able to find any scientific findings on this issue: it still requires a heterosexual act to recreate humans. 2 men cannot make more humans, neither can 2 women. Biologically speaking ,our science is ignoring things that are not convenient. If we cannot explain the issue in such a way that the totality of our existence is taken into account, then the explanation is flawed or lacks complete information.
ReplyDeleteAs I explained to my nephew, sexuality is inherently a personal matter, one does not need to advertise it to the world as some sort of grand declaration. I do not get in parades and shout to anyone in earshot I like them with big boobs and big butts and loose moral standings. marriages\civil unions are personal, they should involve the 2 people and perhaps a Deity if necessary. If the "state" is involved then perhaps the problem is that the "state is some place it does not need to be. We THE PEOPLE created govt why is it dictating to us how we live?Is it wrong to persecute someone because they choose to like members of the same sex? HELL YES! However in the same breath do not equate the struggle homosexuals are in with the one blacks have faced. There is nothing that compares with being thought of as someone's property...or in the case of us descendants, less than human.
