Scientifically speaking....I understand the views of homosexuality has changed in the last century drastically. I understand many believe it is not considered a psychological disorder now. I understand many believe it is something you are born with, while others believe it is something you choose.
What is your Hypothisis on Homosexuality and its causes?
What evidence has been presented which would lead one to believe it is not a psycological disorder?
Further how does one rationalize the below evidences with in their hypothisis....
1. Identical twins where as one is g*y and one is not. http://60minutes.yahoo.com/segment/68/gay_or_straight
2. Many homosexuals have lived as straight then lived as a homosexual.
3. Some have openly lived as a homosexual for many years then public spoke against such a lifestyle and now chose not to live as a homosexual. http://www.exodus-international.org/
4. One widely cited study in the 1990s found that if one member of a pair of identical twins was g*y, the other had a 52 percent chance of being g*y. In contrast, the result for pairs of non-twin brothers, was 9 percent. A 2000 study of Australian identical twins found a much lower chance. http://www.livescience.com/health/071015-ap-g*y-dna.html
Given the research, from a strictly scientific point of view, I conclude the following...
Genetical research suggest their may be a propensity to participate in homosexual behavior. The genetical research found that homosexuality can occure more often in certain families which could be attributed to either family influence/upbringing and/or DNA. Scientifically speaking homosexuality has to be accepted as a psycological motivation rather than DNA because identical twins have supported such. If one were to intellectually accept homosexuality was born with or caused by DNA one would also have to intellectually accept that all the identical twins were as one is g*y and one is not are incorrect and/or the twins are not being truthful to themselves or the public. A difficult thing for the mind to accept scientifically speaking.
The American Psycological Association suggest this is not a disorder nor a treatable disorder. Most of the information published by the American Psycological Association is in regard to discrimination and why its wrong. Psychology, being a supposed scientific study, why have they not accepted a scientific conclusion? http://www.apa.org/topics/sorientation.html
I believe the prevailing view that homosexuality is "something you are born with" does not bear any weight in the scientific community as research does not suggest such. I believe this view is simply wishfull thinking. Mostly do to a history of discrimination in a hateful way towards homosexuals.
