- As I recall, the research found that the vast majority of lesbians had
- abnormally high testasterone levels for women, and the vast majority of gays
- had abnormally low levels for men.
-
- However, saying that they therefore become gay is like saying that "Oh,
- well that guy just killed 20 people because his dad molested him when he was
- nine, so its really not his fault." Yes, to a certain extent its true, but
- in a free society, someone, or some entity (such as a business or a
- government) must be responsible for every action and condition that occurs.
- In effect, what I'm saying is that because as a society we do not believe
- in destiny, homosexuals have a choice whether or not they are homosexual, by
- definition.
