Correct. I am saying that you cannot assume and teach that it is genetic without proof. If they can prove it, then by all means, teach it. Until then, it is pure choice, as we know people can choose to be gay.Originally Posted by quickdodgeŽ

If you believe it is simply a choice, do you know when you chose to be straight? What were your influences in making that decision?
I cannot think of when I made that decision, I just know I am attracted to women. I am absolutely positive it was the same for you.
Yes, I know exactly when - when I hit puberty. :-p
The society that I grew up in (here in the south) teaches that male-female relationships are normal. It is something that has been taught, and you choose to follow your teachings.
If I had been born in some "fantasy" land where people are taught to have relationships with their own gender, then I probably would have been influenced to think that was correct, and would have been inclinded to follow that path - and probably would have incorrectly said that I was born that way also. The truth is that a society like that would have only made it one generation though, as reproduction would have been impossible - and yes, I said impossible intentionally. You cannot find a case where one male human impregnated another male human, and that had a successful birth to propetuate the species. That makes it pretty clear that it is not "normal".
