IS HOMOSEXUALITY GENETIC?

There is a lot of myth and fallacy surrounding homosexuality. Much of this has only helped propagate the lifestyle as normal, healthy and variant. Unfortunately, while the myth has fascinated thousands, most are unaware of the terrible risk involved.

Of great concern is that AIDS and sexually transmitted disease¹s (STDs) are extremely rife in the homosexual community. These diseases represent the primary reason that the life spans among homosexuals is far shorter than average. At present, gay men have a life expectancy of thirty-nine, while many lesbians won¹t reach the age of forty-five. Suicide is three times more likely and rape is four times as rampant. Sadly, statistics show aggressive sexual behaviors much more common among homosexuals as well, and that thirty percent of children brought up by a gay parent report being raped and molested.

Also of concern is that homosexuality has been promoted and "normalized" by the media without mention of statistics and scientific facts . Many wonder where this fictional, sympathetic viewpoint originates. Some feel the media has embraced homosexuality because of the theory that it is a genetically inherited condition and is not a matter of choice. This common misperception defies both logic and science. This fictional "gay gene" would have been out bredlong ago due to the fact that homosexuals hardly ever have children of their own. Also, this gene would be recessive by definition because t he homosexual lifestyle is too dangerous to be considered biologically beneficial . Yet instead, the homosexual population has not been stagnant or diminishing, but has rather grown rapidly.

Many homosexuals speak of homosexuality as a learned reaction of either being abused as a child, or being seduced. One homosexual explained that, "In Gay radicalism I met a large stream of desire that disarmed and seduced me...". Many feel it is a learned reaction and a choice one makes.
