One, two, ten, exactly how many would it require to demonstrate a flaw in peer-reviewed science?
It is interesting to note that every civilization that's ever accepted this had been wiped out...America, I believe, if it keeps this up, will be added to the list, as well.

I'm kind of sick of discussing this ad nauseum, but I'll give you the abbreviated version. In the animal kingdom it is a sign of dominance and power, not a sexual act for pleasure. Think of it like violent rape in prison. Please do your research.The genetic basis of animal homosexuality has been studiedin certain species of flies. Here, multiple genes have been identified that can cause homosexual courtship and mating. These genes are thought to control behavior through pheromones as well as altering the structure of the animal's brains. These studies have also investigated the influence of environment on the likelihood of flies displaying homosexual behavior.

Ofcourse you could do it. That's not the point. The point is that you could never be ATTRACTED to the person because you aren't homosexual. That's what it's about, not your ability to have a sexual relationship with someone of the same sex, but that you need to be born a certain way to be attracted to the person.
Attraction has nothing to do with it. Every straight man has different taste in women. Does it make me gay b/c I'm not attracted to Cameron Diaz or Julia Roberts and someone else is? Of course not. It's about procreation, not attraction. And gays just can't do it.This is not a discussion of taste. It's about being attracted to either the same or opposite sex. If you are truly straight, you would never feel sexually attracted to any guy. Now the "challenge" is to, as a straight guy, try to become sexually attracted to another guy. It's not possible. You can pretend, and you can be sexually active with that person, but you'll never actually be chemically attracted to him/her. Making sense yet?
I understand what you're trying to say, it's just a ridiculous argument.I really wish people would get off the debate of whether or not homosexuality is nature or nurtion. It would be all well-and-fine if people were looking to be more educated on the subject, however, that is not the case. Both sides, in general, use it as excuse to support their side of the debate. Distraction from the issue, in all honesty.

Well I'm more interested in homosexual acts in chimpanzees, which actually resemble us genetically. Flies tell me nothing about homosexuality in humans.From Wikipedia (it may be nasty, but you asked):
"Bonobo males frequently engage in various forms of male-male genital sex (frot). One form has two males hang from a tree limb face-to-face while penis fencing. Frot may also occur where two males rub their penises together while in missionary position. A special form of frot called "rump rubbing" occurs to express reconciliation between two males after a conflict, where they stand back-to-back and rub their scrotal sacs together."
"Bonobo females also engage in female-female genital sex to socially bond with each other, thus forming a female nucleus of Bonobo society."
Also:
Male penguin couples have been documented to mate for life, build nests together, and to use a stone as a surrogate egg in nesting and brooding.

The more I see the religious attack homosexuality using the "God/bible says so/" and "Its not natural/is a choice" (blah blah) excuses, the more I lose faith in their intelligence.CedmlnYou may be surprised to learn that I agree with this completely. As Christians, we can't rely solely on a book that those that we're arguing with don't acknowledge as valid. In order to be taken seriously, we need to provide more than that. Funny thing though, every time a Christian group comes out with a study or some new evidence, liberals and "intellectuals" call them a "hate group" and refuse to acknowledge their work.
So what it's gonna be? Should we argue the Bible, which you ignore, or should we argue science, which you also ignore?

And every single source I present is straight from a medical or scientific journal/study. Since you seem to have missed my last two posts on the subject, I'll try again:
-Finger length ratio, a characteristic controlled by prenatal hormones, is different in people of distinct sexual orientations -Auditory systems in the brain were found be larger in homosexual men than in heterosexual men -The fraternal birth order effect is the strongest known predictor of sexual orientation. According to several studies, each older brother increases a man's odds of developing a homosexual sexual orientation by 28%–48% -Gay men have, on average, have larger penises -Gay men's brains respond differently to fluoxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. -Three regions of the brain (medial prefrontal cortex, left hippocampus, and right amygdala) are more active in gay men than non-gay men when exposed to sexually arousing material. -Gay and non-gay people emit different armpit odors -Gay men are more likely to have a counter-clockwise hair whorl pattern -Gay people are significantlymorelikely to be left-handed or ambidextrous than are straight people -Gay men may receive higher scores than non-gay men on tests of object location memory
