It might be. It could be.........on and on.
But you do, know what you're talking about by ignoring all fact and proof in favor of your personal feelings?
Ok, do YOU have any fact or proof that it's NOT biologically determined? Or just personal feelings?
As for myself, I have a lifetime of experience that convinces me. If that's not enough for you, take a look at the video I linked to. A list of citations to relevant research is in the description.
Well, the best indication of how sexual orientation is determined is indicated by the sexual orientation of pedophiles in 80% of cases was determined by childhood sexual abuse.
Add to that that the feverish search for the "gay gene" has gone on for decades, with no result.
Add to that Darwin's science of natural selection. Are you aware that sexual acts between same gender individuals PRODUCE NO OFFSPRING? If it had ANY basis in genetics, the behavior would have extinguished itself in a few generations, many millennia ago.
That's just skimming the top of the reasons rational thought excludes that as a possibility. The attempt to excuse responsibility for behavior by magically transforming oneself into a "victim" is a childish tactic of the loonie left. And they are wearing it very thin.
The vast majority - ~90% - of child molestation is committed by straight people. Let's do some math, with numbers you might find credible: Gays are (according to you, I suspect) 2% of the population. Gays are supposedly 3.5x more likely to molest children. 2 x 3.5 = 7% of the molestation is committed by gays. 100 - 7 = 93. If you're concerned about child abuse, your plan for addressing it better include talking to the straight people who are doing 93% of it instead of obsessing about tHe HomOs.
In a social species, which those of us humans who get out of our basement are, genes are not passed on by "survival of the fittest." They are passed on by "survival of the family group." Anthropologically speaking, a gay man provides resources to the family group without contributing to the number of offspring that must be fed. Therefore, a family group with a smattering of gays in it is more likely to pass on their genetics to the next generation. So there's your evolutionary imperative.
If homosexuality were so self-terminating, why do we keep on showing up? By your logic, the "gene" would have selected out thousands of years ago. So maybe the biology is a tad more complex than you're expecting. That's why I've pointed to the evidence for epigenetics - which as it happens actually has at least as much to do with how we turn out as genetics does. Clearly, there is an evolutionary advantage conferred by having a few gay people around or we wouldn't be having this discussion.
It's also worth pointing out that homosexual behavior is rampant throughout the animal kingdom: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animals_displaying_homosexual_behavior
As for your "victim" point, I've not engaged in that here so I don't see how it's relevant beyond your desire to kvetch. On the contrary, people like you are vanishingly rare around here. I haven't been "victimized" at all. The vast majority just don't care about the topic, as evidenced by the pathetic number of upvotes this post received.
Please let me know if you come up with more "rational thought" that I can demolish. Before you do, understand that I've been studying this for many years. I know more, and I know your arguments better than you do.
LOL - As expected, the first words out of your mouth are a poor attempt at mental three card monte. The vast majority of child molestation is committed by straight people? Straight people, by definition, are one adult male with one adult female. If you think your sleight of hand is working, it is only working in people who have already greased their minds to accept any level of absurdity that they can pretend supports what they want to believe.
My assumption is that you are referring to peds who hide their orientation behind heterosexual relationships the same way many homosexuals do? Again another childish attempt at mental gymnastics that only work for those who are eager to accept any morsel that they (and only they) can file away in their mental "this proves it" file, no matter the level of absurdity.
You then move on to ignore that 3 out of 4 child molestations are same sex in nature...umm...doesn't same sex mean homosexual - having nothing whatsoever to do with "straight" people?"
Uhh....maybe the same self evident reason pedophilia orientation keeps showing up - 80& of peds were molested by adults during childhood.
Aren't you the one who expressed your self-immolation at the hand of God, who refused to obey your command for his action, while hearing the prayers of so many others who testify to his transformation of their lives?
If you have any desire to understand, there is an entire book written on that subject. I highly recommend you look at it. It's explanations are clear and to the point. It takes no mental gymnastics to understand why and how everything works.
