A homosexual person is one who is sexually attracted to others of the same
sex. Except for a genetic variation of nature, they are virtually identical
to their heterosexual counter parts.
There are those who freely choose this behavior as a “life style” but that
accounts for a very small population of homosexuals. In fact, if one is not
genetically predispositioned for this behavior then by definition they are
not truly homosexual but rather some deviant variation of perverted
behavior.
Some would argue that the Bible condemns homosexuality but I believe
(through the persistence of science) this behavior will be proven to result
from natural genetic variation.
One can draw on the example of the developmentally challenged (no offense
intended toward either group) who by no action of their own are born
comparatively slow or deficient in mental, physical or emotional growth.
Homosexual people are entitled to engage in sexual behavior consistent with
their genetic makeup so long as it is between consenting adults. To deny
them this right would be the same as denying heterosexuals their right to
consensual sex. Some would argue that sexuality is strictly for reproduction
but yet the animal kingdom has many species that cannot reproduce.
Human beings are sexual beings and to suggest that a genetic variation of
nature somehow makes homosexuals less human is indeed an inhuman concept.
