Lol right on, not in any hurry. Materia has been back and forth on what causes (... poor word perhaps) homosexuality I think maybe he is trying to say it is a genetically (biological) driven preference now.

I must ask, is Materia-blade trying to argue that homosexuality is biologically driven or only genetically driven?

He would really need to be the one to answer that but he seems to be of the mind that a homosexual has no choice.  I would be more inclined personally to think it is a result of ones experiences in life but what the hell do I know.

I took some time to do some research and apparently, homosexuality is likely caused by epigenetics, not genetics. In case you don't know, epigenetics is the study of cellular and physiological traits not caused by changes in the DNA sequence. More specifically, it is the study of how the transcription from DNA to RNA is altered. What should also be pointed is that epigenetics may or may not be heritable.

Here are two papers that I've found that talks about the link between homosexuality and epigenetics:

Sweet thanks for sharing what you dug up.  I'll look at those when I have some time to read them without gettting distracted every five seconds.

That is unfathoming...You don't choose what turns  you on,it's an internal automatism!As a straight,you can choose to go with a men but if you don't like it(If you are really a straight you won't) (Your ''tool'' will determine)  but did it,you didn't ''became a gay'' you are still straight but a stupid or confused straight...

Think of that bro...The only choice is if you will accept your nature or you will pretend  to be a straight...

If money was the only purposal than the "Indiana Governer" wouldn't "signs bill allowing businesses to reject gay customers".  I don't think you are aware that lots of rich business people are "gay" and have lots of power in society. So It's not JUST money that talks, It's money and a strong common idea (idealism) like discrimination. Eg. Nazi. It spreads like wild fire.

My opinion is you can turn away anybody you want. Why not? You are providing a product and should be able to control where that product goes. Like if I own a video game store I can deny the kid that is acting stuck up and moronic and instead sell my product to somebody who actually acts like a nice person. You own the items/services, you can decide where/how/when/and why it goes. Does it really matter if the racist assholes deny a black person service, or the Catholic church denies gay couples service? In my opinion, no. Sure, they may be bad people, but you shouldn't force people to provide a product to everybody even if they don't want them. It's creates more controversy than it solves.There are plenty of other stores that can provide for you. And if it turns out that a majority of stores deny gays, then I guess the USA should ban gay marriage because the people are obviously not ready for it. The people decide what happens in this country, how it's always been, how it always should be. I for one am fine with all kinds of people. It's not like they are affecting me in anyway.
