Re: # 75
You chose to include it in your post. It is demeaning and not to mention inaccurate, because allergies are anything but abnormal.

amrita,
``the question you have to ask is what business is it of yours what two consenting adults decide to do when said act does not infringe on the life or liberty of another? ``

I never said anything about declaring homosexuality illegal or called it a crime. Homosexuals have every right to do what they want to do. But my question was purely out of curiosity and academic, and I was definitely not suggesting anything.

Re: # 67

vivek - its not a genetic disorder because it is neither genetic nor a disorder. there has been considerable amounts of research done into this in the past few decades and science can find nothing to say it has something to do with your genes any more than heterosexuality. i dont know where you live but if you live in the US then you should be able to walk into any barnes and noble and come out clutching five million books on the subject. if you live in india, then check out dr, saleem kidwai.

the question you have to ask is what business is it of yours what two consenting adults decide to do when said act does not infringe on the life or liberty of another?

ShoreSahib,
By the way, I do not think homosexuals are lesser mortals, but they definitely are different.

ShoreSahib,
I know my opinion is not required but then I need to form an opinion for myself so asked Amrita about it.

Re#67
Your opinion on homosexuality is really not required, so why dont you focus on taking out that meter long baton wedged somewhere in your person.

amrita,
Why is homosexuality not a genetic disorder? I am still trying a form an opinion on homosexualtiy, so would like your input.

Also, one of my friends thinks homosexuality is like an allergy, one is born with it and cannot change it only deal with it but it ain`t normal.

scott - :)) and eeyowtch.

urstruly - homosexuality is not a disorder and it is not a choice - it is a sexual orientation. you like girls [well not noticeably given your obsession with sending them to hell but presumably for some purposes you do] but some men like other men.

echoboom - here`s a biblical reference for you: oysters or snails?

Re: # 64

What do you mean by ``wired``,

If it means that it is an instinctive behaviour, then sure it is genetic and if it is a learned behaviour then it may be psychological disorder. However, I am of the opinion that all of us are genetically programmed for both orientations at the same time. Later our learned behaviour, thru interaction with society - since it takes two to tango - makes it our conscious choice.

Shore Sahib??

Re: # 61

urstruly,

........i don`t believe that homosexuality is a choice and it is not a genetic ``disorder`` either - it is just the way some people are wired .........

........ this is not to say that i approve of the extreme homosexual life stle that is promoted by some any more than the extreme heterosexual lifestyle promoted by mardi gras or fundamentalist muslims .......... homosexual promiscuity is just as bad as having four wives and many concubines ...........

......sex, like religious faith, is a very private matter and unless you are a mullah or a prostitute there is no need to flaunt it .............
