We don’t know causes homosexuality

After I posted my comment below, I just had to step back and post the footnote again.  I mean, really. Think on this.  This is the American Psychiatric Association.  The go-to source for all gay advocates because of its clear promotion and support for homosexual normality.  Think of it.  The assumption is that if you’re against homosexuality, it’s like begin against Blacks or Jews.  It’s like racism.  Since being gay is like being Black or Jewish.  You’re born that way, to quote St. G-.  That’s taught.  That’s affirmed.  That’s assumed in almost every media outlet, educational curriculum, entertainment venue.  It is taught in churches.  It’s affirmed by some Catholics.  It’s a fact: being gay is like being Black or White or Asian.  And not accepting it is the same as not accepting Blacks or Asians (we’re still out on the whole not accepting Whites).

Except, it’s not.  It’s all a lie.  I saw something like this on a Homosexual Advocacy website a few years ago.  In the Q&A; section, first question – why are people gay – was answered with ‘we don’t know.’  I also read something about it in an article linking to the New England Journal of Medicine.  But those were passing references or agenda driven non-profits.  This is the APA, one of the key scientific and medical foundations for ‘born to be gay’ justification for not only allowing gay marriage, but increasingly punishing anyone who doesn’t accept it.  And yet it’s a lie.  A great big, giant, massive, huge lie.  And how do we know?  Because this – THIS! – is what that same APA says about the subject on its very own Freaking website:

What causes Homosexuality/Heterosexuality/Bisexuality?

No one knows what causes heterosexuality, homosexuality, or bisexuality. Homosexuality was once thought to be the result of troubled family dynamics or faulty psychological development. Those assumptions are now understood to have been based on misinformation and prejudice. Currently there is a renewed interest in searching for biological etiologies for homosexuality. However, to date there are no replicated scientific studies supporting any specific biological etiology for homosexuality. Similarly, no specific psychosocial or family dynamic cause for homosexuality has been identified, including histories of childhood sexual abuse. Sexual abuse does not appear to be more prevalent in children who grow up to identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual, than in children who identify as heterosexual.

The 21st Century.  A time of unparalleled stupidity when people are quite prepared to flush liberty and freedom down the toilet when the very agencies used to support the reasons to do so contradict the reasons used.  And in the age of ‘the Information Highway!’ no less.

Some generations have done so for meat and circuses.  Others have done so for bread and peace.  Some have gone so far as to sell their birthright for a bowl of stew.  But post-modern hipster brilliant enlightened types?  We’re taking one of the greatest political gifts in human history and tossing it for some legal drugs, unlimited orgasms, the latest iPad app, and the ability to abort or someday euthanize whatever stands in the way of our libidos.  I mean, dumb and wicked generation.
