Lines: 20 Reguarding Ken Ardnt's last submission.. Does it really matter if GAYS (Alright Ken, I wont call them Homosexuals) are born, or made? Should society think more of them if they are Gay, not by choice, but by something beyond their control ? Sounds pretty silly to me, but: Unfortunately, that is the way many people think. Society is more willing to accept gays if it is believed that they dont really want to be that way, but have no choice (i.e. gay = incurable sickness that must be lived with). Since many people now accept gays because of this belief, and since science hasn't and probably never will come up with an answer on the subject, it might be in the best interest of gays to foster the belief. Enough Rambling. Im interested if people's opinions on whether gays are born "that way", or whether its a conscience decision. Any comments ? -- Comin now to Eden.. Yea Brother.
