I have a problem with homosexuality; and, by extension, with homosexuals in general. It’s not that I hate them or think they deserve death or dismemberment; it’s just that I find the whole concept of the normalcy of a homosexual lifestyle ludicrous. Even dismissing the Judeo/Christian idealized creation of man and the biblical definition of marriage, homosexuality just does not make sense as any normal pattern of behavior.
Suppose for a moment that evolution is not just a theory. If homosexuality is a natural expression of genetic code, then it must be continually passed on through the progeny of a homosexual parent(s). Given the cultural prohibitions against homosexuality, in most societies, through the last six thousand years of human history, this would only have been possible through the progeny of individuals who suppressed their homosexuality and entered into heterosexual relationships. Would that not have necessarily left a very small percentage of the population of mankind as carriers of the code to continue homosexuality? In fact, supposing that evolution is true, then the necessity of the billions of years of adaptation it took to get to the complexity of genetic material comprising a human being, and the subsequent eons it took to get the human to its current genetic status, the homosexual gene, even having no moral or cultural inhibitions to impede its development, should probably have already expressed itself out of existence.
Since that does not appear to have been the case; there would therefore seem to be no evolutionary support for the genetic homosexual.
How then do we account, not only for the continued existence of homosexuality, but for it’s most recent increase as a percentage of the world’s population?
This is what bothers me the most about the entire issue. If it is no one’s fault that one is a homosexual, if it absolutely MUST be acceptable that there are homosexuals, why then can it not be acceptable that it is simply a choice that one has made. Why is it not enough for individuals to own their life decisions? You want to, demand to, be accepted as normal, yet refuse, even in the light of the evidence of the science you proclaim as your god that it cannot possibly be that you are genetically coded to be homosexual, to admit that you have made a choice to be homosexual. If it is OK to be one, then own it! Quit blaming anyone or anything for the decisions you have made.
