Re: Homosexuals also reproduce

The majority of the adult homosexual individuals around the world -- male and
female alike -- have participated in a successfull breeding at least once in
their lives.  Most homosexual adults reproduce just as most heterosexual adults
reproduce.  In fact percentages of adult homosexuals having participated in
successful breeding are roughly equal to the percentages of adult heterosexuals
having done the same.

You're possibly making the mistake of assuming that homosexuality is all about
sex and that homosexuals don't mate with heterosexual and homosexual people of
the opposite sex gender.  Love is part of the mix, not just sexual lust.  Love
entertained by an individual toward another individual usually knows no need to
be bound by whether said other individual is of the same sex gender or not; the
expressions of that love are, however, constrained by social conditioning yet
the love nonetheless remains.  And lust is part of the human animal's genetic
heritage as, possibly, a precursor to love -- from the evolutional standpoint.

Homosexual and heterosexual behavior is a matter of predominate tendacies when
exhibiting sexual behavior; it's not something that's carved into everyone's
brain and is set for life -- "this individual is pre-programmed to be a
heterosexual and this individual is pre-programmed to be a homosexual..."  It
is a matter of degree which, like everything else in a human's life, fluctuates
and seeks new experiences and new horizons.  There may be a genetic
predisposistion, yes, yet my look into these matters leaves me with the
conclusion that one could apply _percentages_ to one's sexual preferences and
that those percentages fluctuate.

I could supposed that at the current moment I am 90% heterosexual.  Others
would probably tell me I'm 100% because I don't engage in homosexual behavior
-- however ill-defined.  Yet that can't be true because there remains a narrow
avenue of circumstances where I could consider a homosexual act.  I would be
motivated by money, for instance, if enough of it were presented. Yet others
who have been heterosexual all their lives (who would be considered 100% by
most) could be motivated by love, not money, and exhibit homosexual behavior
upon the loved individual.

The same is true for homosexuals.  They might never engage in heterosexual
behavior -- however ill-defined.  Yet they, too, can be motivated into
heterosexual behavior.  For money, for love, and even for guilt -- though I
opine they have nothing to feel guilty of.

Bottom line is that heterosexuals and homosexuals mix in all socities around
the world -- where evil governments and religious death cults don't hunt them
down and execute them, tax them strangely, or otherwise make them illegal.
Sexual behavior isn't ALWAYS about lust; unless it's paid for, it's most often
still about love.  The death cult (and some of the more oppressive governments
of the world) would like everyone to forget about love; forget that human
social interaction is complex and includes the fact of unreasoning love.  That
people love each other.

Here's a quote from a Catholic bigot which is the height of evil:

        Remember homosexuality is NOT about love - it is all
        aabout sex.  Period! - George Noonan

Good old George has been lied to.
