- Indisputable fact. But, it has NOT been represented as a legitimate
- lifestyle until recently. That representation is what I refuse to "get

- Right..I saw it right next to the Enquirer's headline about the
- escaped Martian boy terrorizing the nation. Seriously, You can find a
- scientist who can "prove" virtually anything. Be that as it may, even
- if it were possible for homosexuality to be due to a genetic "flaw",
- that does not mean such activity is acceptable or should be allowed any
- more than a "born" robber should be allowed to rob or a "born" flasher
- should be allowed to flash. Sorry, you gotta act right no matter what your
- inner "impulses" push you to do.

- Appearances can be deceiving...If homosexuality were "Natural" (instead of
- being a patently wrong and offensive condition that has fortunately
- kept most people disposed to this kind of activity in the "closet" for
- most of these "thousands of years" of which you speak) and we were all that
- way, mankind would be gone in one generation. Think about it.
