Twin studies have shown that homosexuality has a strong genetic component. A weaker factor is how many older brothers a child has:

Older brothers increases odds of being gay

That seems to account for one out of seven gay men.
Thanks, I think I have seen this before but as it is not an area of active research for me it may have been something simular.

The big thing that I am stressing is that if it is not a choice then the condemnation of fundamentalists really does not make a lot of sense.

Congratulations; you understand etymology. That doesn't make being a homophobe any better.

Nor, worse... It just depends on who's side you are on.

To liberals, the word conservative, is a dirty word.

To an atheist... Christian is a dirty word.

I went to the St. Louis zoo and saw no baby infants in the monkey house. Apes produce apes. Humans produce humans. Genesis 1:25-26
What you may not understand is that you are telling me nothing about evolution but only your lack of knowledge of the subject. You are basically telling on yourself.

What he is telling you is that your theory can not be demonstrated. Its unprovable. We understand how your theory presents itself. It just can not be demonstrated to be true. That causes a problem for those who are certain evolution must be the answer for why we find evidence for prehistoric life. All the while.. the Hebrew of Genesis One, and other passages point to the fact there was a prehistoric creation that was destroyed and buried under the world we now know. Young earth creationists are equally misinformed to think this creation is the only one that God has placed on this planet.

Looks like this might be a candidate for religious presentation of Anton–Babinski syndrome.

QV please: The False Pretenses of "Homophobia."

And for the record, I'll tell you what I told someone else.

I have more homosexuals on my Friends List than you have friends in yours.

Your false pretense can take a hike.

We have no false pretenses. It is fairly obvious from the conversations here that dad and genez have the symptoms of someone that is truly homophobic, we are not using the word in its political correct method that is very often used today. You are borderline. Yes, the term can be misused. That does not mean it is being misused every time somebody uses it.

And I see that even you have admitted that you are wrong.

The only time you use your phrase "... can take a hike" is not only when everybody else knows that you are wrong, but when you know that you are wrong and you have no valid response.

Thank you for that tiny bit of honesty on your part.

Not really. I'll give you the same task I gave Dad: provide a definition of "tolerant" or "enlightened" that involves discrimination against 10% of the population. If you can't accurately use those words to characterize your stance on homosexuality, you're on the wrong side.

And while "atheist" may be an upsetting word to you, I have no issue with Christians.

I am what we used to call "normal" before the rampant social degeneracy took hold. But, I am a realist. I realize that the world needs to be made ready for the Antichrist who will have no desire for women.

I somehow don't think you're qualified in the area of phobia assessment.

And for the record, I've been called everything from liar to troll to YEC; so I'm not going to feel obligated to accept any moniker you guys place on someone else.

Seriously, it does not take an expert to assess some people.

In dad and genez' case we are more than qualified.

Those people were correct in what they called you. You have as much as admitted it yourself in the past. Of course then you decide you do not like the labels so you try to redefine terms so that they exclude you. That is far from honest.

We do not know if its 10 percent. Live and let live is my motto. Its the gays who are the antagonists in this round. They arrogantly make demands and then scream homophobe when they get some push back. Its like anyone who was critical of Obama's failed policies got labelled a 'racist.' Its a liberal ploy of getting the other on the defensive when the opposition is correct. Its a manipulative tactic. Underhanded one at that.

Wait a second. What arrogant demands do homosexuals demand? What rights do they want that you do not have already?

I would like to hear one.

It seems the main "demand" that they have is that gets extremists so riled is that of the right to marry the person that they love.

That's a stalker's mentality.

What if the person they should "have a right to marry" doesn't love them?

What if the person they love is 9 years old? should they have a right to marry that person?
