Homosexuality is not a sin

Choose? That is nearly the point. You do not choose to be gay.
Yes, you do. Homosexuality is a behavior.

It chose you when you were born.
No, it didn't. There is no 'gay gene'.

You are acting and being as God made you.
God did not make anyone gay. There is no 'gay gene'.

Did you choose whether to be gay or hetero? Was it a close decision? being gay was never a consideration that I had to make. It was not in my makeup. Many kids are feeling different at about 3.5 .https://www.science.org/content/article/toddler-play-may-give-clues-sexual-orientation
Homosexuality is a behavior. One chooses whether or not to engage in such behavior.
 
Agreed about sexual preference, but what kind of fucking moron doesn't want to be free to be themselves?
A liberal. They also don't want anyone else to be free to be themselves either. They live their lives in fear, whether that be fear of a virus, fear of others having money that they don't have, others having happiness that they don't have, or whatever other particular fears that enslave them.
 
Nah, it’s a bunch of racists and bigots who found a voice in Trump, it’s nothing new.

there's been a 30 year hiatus on reasonable trade policy, due to crony capitalism swallowing up both parties, and instituting retarded levels of globalist zealotry.

thanks for letting your corporatism shine through.
 
Homosexuality is not genetic. There is no 'gay gene'.

I don't believe there is a "gay gene," in the sense of a single gene that either makes someone gay or not. I think it's more like height, where you have a mix of a number of different genes that interact with various environmental factors to determine your height. Even "identical" twins can have significantly different heights, since genes aren't the whole story.

Yes. You were attempting to support your position regarding humans by making statements about wolves and insects.

Yes I was succeeding in supporting my position regarding humans by making statements about wolves and insects.

This is all moot because homosexuality is not genetic. There is no 'gay gene'. It is a behavioral thing, not a genetic one.

Yes, I understand this topic makes you extremely emotional, and so you hope by repeating the same things often enough you can make them true. But the science doesn't care about your feelings. Studies have confirmed there is a genetic component to homosexuality.

There is no genetic component regarding homosexuality

Many, many studies say otherwise. That's why you have to resort to simply saying you don't accept any source that disagrees with you.

The "you're uneducated" mantra is dismissed on sight.

Yes, I'd imagine that would seem like a mantra to you, given how often you must hear it.

You are not your siblings.

Did you imagine I said one was? What, specifically, led you to that false conclusion?

The "you're uneducated" mantra, along with Wikipedia, are both dismissed on sight. I do not accept Wikipedia as a source.

You don't need to. The specific claims within Wikipedia are nearly always footnoted with links to outside sources.

You are making the same claim repeatedly, so you are getting the same response to it each time you make it.

I am supporting my claim, which is consistent with the established science. You are responding with the same naked assertion each time, hoping that somehow that will shelter you from the facts. It isn't working though, is it?

Your close relatives are not you.

Do you imagine I suggested they were? If so, what led you to that false conclusion, specifically?

Your close relatives are not you

Do you imagine I suggested they were? If so, what led you to that false conclusion, specifically?

And how do you "help them breed" exactly, especially when you're dead?

Depends on the species. For example, in some species, there's matriphagy, where the mother has evolved to die shortly after breeding, with her body then being a source of food for her new offspring, helping them reach an age where they can also breed successfully. In humans it could take the form of something like leaving an estate to children, which confers benefit after the grantor is dead.

You were talking about YOUR genes though...

Chemically, the gene is identical whether it's in your body or someone else's. If gene Z encodes for individual X helping individual Y breed, and individual Y has that same gene, then gene Z will be more likely to be in that next generation than it would have without coding that behavior, regardless of the fact it was the gene Z copy in individual X's body that resulted in the individual Y passing along a copy of that gene, rather than individual X doing so.

Your relatives' genes are not your genes.

Many of them are.


Yes. You were attempting to support your position regarding your genes by making statements about your relatives' genes.

Yes. It's Biology 101 material.

Yes. You were attempting to support your position regarding humans by making statements about ants.


Yes. I succeeded in supporting my position regarding humans by making statements about ants.

No, it is true.

What makes you think that?

Masturbation is not homosexuality.

Nor does masturbation stop homosexuality, which is the point. The person remains a homosexual throughout that process of breeding.

Artificial insemination is not homosexuality.

Nor does artificial insemination stop homosexuality, which is the point. The person remains a homosexual throughout that process of breeding.


He did not reproduce (not naturally, anyway).

It's reproduction whether or not artificial processes were involved. Obviously.

Which ones? The one you provided didn't find anything of the sort. The other one I couldn't see due to my ad blocker.

Many, many studies say otherwise.

That's why you have to resort to simply saying you don't accept any source that disagrees with you.
I only reject sources that are non-authoritative, or are otherwise too often misleading, incomplete, or just plain wrong.

It is a mantra (and a fallacy). It is able to be dismissed on sight.

Did you imagine I said one was? What, specifically, led you to that false conclusion?
Your argumentation is based upon that particular implication.

You don't need to. The specific claims within Wikipedia are nearly always footnoted with links to outside sources.
Oh boy!! FOOTNOTES!!! Those claims MUST be true NOW... ;) ;)

I am supporting my claim, which is consistent with the established science.
No, you are just repeating particular claims over and over again, and have not made any mention of any science to support them. You have instead tried to support them via statements about wolves, insects, and ants, but unfortunately none of those things are humans. You have also tried to support your claims via attempts to equate your own genes to your siblings' (or relatives') genes. Neither attempt has worked out for you.

You are responding with the same naked assertion each time, hoping that somehow that will shelter you from the facts. It isn't working though, is it?
You keep making the same faulty claims, so I keep pointing out precisely what is faulty about them.

This is not "helping them [your siblings] breed", as your children (of which you don't even have to begin with because you died before having any, per your own argumentation) are not your siblings. You have now completely lost track of your own argumentation. You seem completely incapable of properly identifying and defining things.

As you're now aware, many studies have confirmed that genetics are, in fact, a component of sexuality.

No, you were failing.

As you recall, I succeeded.

I've found that whenever someone mentions "the science", they actually aren't speaking about science at all.

No. If you think back you'll remember that I linked to studies, which you then rejected because, for you, it's not about science.

Which ones?

You reject sources that demonstrate things you wish weren't true.

Your argumentation is based upon that particular implication.

You misunderstood. Try rereading. Good luck.

Oh boy!! FOOTNOTES!!! Those claims MUST be true NOW...

The point, of course, is that if you're worried that the editor of the Wikipedia page may have misstated the point, you can follow the footnote to the original source and read that. In the case of scientific matters, like the functioning of evolution, the footnotes usually lead to more authoritative scientific sources.

....and have not made any mention of any science to support them.

Yet, as you remember, I did mention the science that supports them, including links for you to follow and see for yourself. Your response was simply to go back to asserting what you wish were true.

You keep making the same faulty claims, so I keep pointing out precisely what is faulty about them.

You're well aware that you haven't been able to identify any problem with what I've written, so you just keep repeating "X isn't Y."

Not about humans, thus irrelevant.

What makes you imagine that?

This is not "helping them [your siblings] breed", as your children (of which you don't even have to begin with because you died before having any, per your own argumentation) are not your siblings.

I said children, not your children. It could as easily be your siblings' children, who, of course, would carry copies of many of your genes, and thus you'd be helping them to survive into the next generation.

Where you're struggling here is you have a mystical idea of what a gene is, rather than a scientific idea. A gene is just a string of DNA.... a series of G's, C's, A's, and T's. If the gene is GCATGGCATCGGATGGC, it doesn't matter at all whether that gene was replicated from a GCATGGCATCGGATGGC in your gamete, or your brother's, or your cousin's. Any behavior that GCATGGCATCGGATGGC codes for, if it make it more likely that GCATGGCATCGGATGGC is still around in the next generation, and the next, and the next, with be naturally selected for, regardless of whether that behavior is one in the individual that passed down that GCATGGCATCGGATGGC, or some other individual that has that GCATGGCATCGGATGGC and didn't pass it down. There's isn't some magical "this is yours" aspect to that GCATGGCATCGGATGGC. All GCATGGCATCGGATGGC's are identical. So, if a worker ant, beta wolf, or gay human has a GCATGGCATCGGATGGC that codes for behavior that helps others reproduce and those others have that same GCATGGCATCGGATGGC, then that results in that GCATGGCATCGGATGGC staying in the gene pool and continue contributing to the behavior in question.

You have now completely lost track of your own argumentation.

I definitely have not, but I appreciate you implicitly admitting how much you're struggling to keep up. Just go back and reread it. It's there. You can get up-to-speed with effort.

Your argumentation is about passing your genes along, not someone else's.

Again, you're falling into the error of a mystical understanding of what a gene is. That GCATGGCATCGGATGGC is the same whether it's yours, your sibling's, your kid's, or your cousin's. You are helping it pass down to future generations if you help ANY individual breed that has that same GCATGGCATCGGATGGC.

You can't pass your genes along if you're dead.

Even after you're dead, you can help your genes pass into future generations, as with that example where some species dies and serve as food for their own children.

You are not your relatives.

What, specifically, made you imagine I was suggesting you were?


Your genes are not your relatives' genes.

As a simple matter of logic, yes, of course they are. Evolution couldn't work if that weren't true, since the moment you were dead "your genes" would all be gone. But the reason evolution works the way it does is that individuals can influence the probability that particular genes they have will be in the next generation and the one after that, etc. It makes no difference, in that perspective, whether those genes, at one point, were copied from genes you provided in a sperm or an egg, or came from some other source. The result is the same.

No, you failed.

But you know that's untrue.

Agreed. As you know, I never suggested otherwise. But, neither does artificial insemination involve giving up homosexuality. So, obviously, homosexuals can breed.

If a marriage isn't recognized by the government, then no rights or benefits given by the Federal government to married couples will be applied.
So?
Example; While a LDS man may "marry" 5 wives, the US government only recognizes the rights and benefits of the first, legally-married wife. When the man dies, she is the only one to benefit from survivorship. The other four wives are left out in the cold. While a will may solve some issues, it doesn't cover all of them.

What LDS man is married to 5 wives?
