Homosexuality and its predisposed triggers - yet another area in which you think you are an expert?

Is there no end to the subjects in which you have superior knowledge?

Thankfully most on here can see - 'emperors new clothes'/empty jacket!!

Could there perhaps be a multiplicity of "causes"?

Well, of course there "could" but that's not the same as "we know there are".
For the good of this thread, if you want to discuss homosexuality (and you certainly manage to do so in a thread of almost any topic), why not start another thread?

..

TBF it was you, not him, who was stating as a fact that it is all down to "homosexual genes":

You wrote:

Does anyone really believe if you have homosexual genes you will refrain from having a same sex physical relationship because Francis pontificates

When challenged about this, you replied indicating that you were reinforced in your opinion that there are "homosexual genes" because you said:

"How do you explain the significant % of gay men that have very feminine traits - high voices, very slim bodies effeminate mannerisms is that all learned/copied?"

In other words you were clearly expressing the view that these traits are NOT learned/copied but are down to "homosexual genes".

I don't think it is definite that there isn't, and indeed it makes reasonable sense to theorize that there may be some connection with a genetic component, but your statement that "homosexual genes" exist is not an established scientific fact.

I don't and can't explain that.
I can postulate possibilities (from a postion of lack of knowledge) with the best of 'em but I am not in a position to explain.

How do you explain the %age of heterosexual men who display similar characteristics?

Re: Pope Francis the First : Fri Mar 15, 2013 11:14 am  

I find it quite disgusting that seemingly intelligent people can't accept that some people are homosexual and some aren't, it isn't an illness or a condition.

Who are these seemingly intelligent people?

Or, as I suggested, women who display 'masculine' characteristics – or interests, for that matter.
