This.
It's not about curing lesbianism and does not prove anything about people born gay - I still believe we are created in the image of our environment
having said that, this is very interesting. What if we can altar sexual orientation? Now that would be a topic to discuss. I'm afraid that most anti-abortion people will be for it and Right to choose people will be against it. Ironic isn't it? Seriously, if people believe we can abort little babies, why shouldn't we be able to altar sexual orientation before they are born - hypocrites. And for Anti-abortionists, if it's immoral to mess with fetus then why would you favor altaring sexual orientation? You hyporcrites.

Then how do you explain people raised in the same environment turning out differently?
|
by changing the environment and making new memories. It's a matter of choice. I grew up in somewhat broken family. I wanted my parents to divorce cause they fought all the time - I should be very bitter about it but I chose to change and changed my environment. People come out of closet later in their life and some gays choose to get married and have heterosexual life, etc.

Yes, but that doesn't change their sexual orientation. Do you think the guy that comws out as gay at 40 after 10 years of marriage to a woman was really ever straight? Or that the gay guy who decides to marry a woman 'cause it's the "acceptable" thing to do is really all of the sudden straight? Better yet what do you think sexual orietnation is? The answer to that may explain your view.

I'm not 100% certain on this. There was a time I was sure that most homosexuals were born with thier sexual orientation. then a study in the early 90's by U.C.L.A. sociologist concluded that he was able to predict with 80% accuracy, who will have homosexual tendencies by studying their childhood environment. And I got into this Lipton guy - biologist, who also believes how our first 7 years of life's environment plays major role on who we become.
So as of this moment I believe mostly that our environment plays a major role. This means that when we as a society accepts gay lifestyle, there will be higher percentage of homosexuals.

First, link to the article please! Personally I've never trusted pseudo-scientists like sociologists, but I'd like to read it.
Second, the more we accept the gay lifestyle, the more people who are gay will come out. I doubt that most gay people come from gay friendly families who encourage their kids to be gay. The reason why it may seem that there are more gay people today than in the past is largely due to the fact that, due to the wider acceptance of homosexuality, gay people who would've repressed themselves in the past do not do that now. Plus, what is this environment that makes peopel become gay? 'Cause I know that gay people came from all kinds of environments, and many have siblings raised in the same environment who are straight.
Please provide a link to the article in question.
