... so there's no biological basis for homosexuality - a boy who ends up with same sex attractions does so because he doesn't have a father he can connect with or he doesn't have a father that he perceives as safe and welcoming.

Well, another one of these threads! Egads!

Not sure if that is your perception or if you are just dangling bait. smile I'll offer my perception of your perception --

Balderdash! smile

And where did this pearl of ignorance come from?

Recent experience here supports the fact that the boy who cries "wolf" is actually a "wolf."

Sigh... since there's ample evidence of homosexuality among many species of mammal, the whole 'it must be to do with parenting' thing is just silly. Unless you subscribe to the fanciful theory that people are somehow exempt from being animals. Nature-nuture blah blah blah blah I'm sorry I should really just delete this and go and do something else, but it's snowing outside and my soup's not ready yet.

Oh, and research also points to poor parenting affecting people's sexuality, not their sexual orientation. (The distinction I'm making is between sexual orientation: who you fancy - and sexuality: how you feel about it.) there are plenty of gay men who were abused by their mothers, and plenty of lesbian women who were abused by their fathers.

Trolling? No - inviting constructive discussion on the statement instead of personal attacks.

Whose statement are you quoting, just so we know where we are here? Is it a statement of your opinion, or what is it if not?

And plenty of gay and lesbian folks who were raised in loving, two-parent, heterosexual families. And I know this as someone who has gay cousins and life-long friends with whom I grew up, and all of whom had families that were completely — and even this word has become a slippery slope in here — normal!
