23. I'm as queer as a 67 cent piece, so here are my valuable 2 cents:
I have an aunt who is a lesbian. There are hints that other family members on dad's side of the family were lesbian.

However, I don't care what causes it.

Homosexuality is not a sin. Nor is it a crime. Nor is it unnatural. Nor is it vile. Nor is it unconstitutional.

World societies need to become tolerant and accepting of people and use reason, not violence, to resolve problems. Not changing people to fit its beliefs. Especially when its beliefs are already dangerous and destructive and in so many ways to so many people.

If homosexuality is genetic, I fear they sure as well will find ways to make EVERYBODY heterosexual. (yet most people are appalled at treating diseased by killing the patients.) "News" programs already have episodes devoted to the possibility of 'custom made' children in the future. You, the parent, can (selfishly, ahem) decide if it's a boy or a girl, what the eye color is, IQ potential, or whatever else. They can tell you if the unborn embryo will have MS or be retarded and then give you the option to abort, et cetera.

If homosexuality is environmental, those against homosexuality will try to change the environment, make life as miserable for us as possible, and so on. In which case we must fight back using the same methods they use. Villains do villainous things and at times we have to act villainous ourselves in order to defeat them.
