i m sorry to disaapoint you, but there is ample proof from sychology to conclusively say that ALL YOUNG CHILDREN GROW UP IMMITATING THE FORM OF RELATIONSHIP THIER CARE TAKERS FOLLOW....

if homosexuality is norm as they grow up, it is safe to say that they will at least be less hesitatnt to try it and/or get sychologically hoocked and or attached to it...

there is also ample prroof to suggest homosexuality( for males) bieng a product of engaging in anal sex as younger children or adolecents...

in a very real sense, those who experiences bieng penetrated as younger individuals ( for whatever reason ) experience very SERIOUS needs to keep getting penetrated..

thats the reason why many very MANLY males are gays bec they were raped as children...

So a big FAT NO...

Homosexuality is certainly NOT ONLY a function of getting attracted to one gender as opposed to the other ( although this is certainly a part of it )

there are way too many forces at play, one of which is if u r brough up in a gay tolerant/incouraging attitude...

another one is availability...like in prison ( or in the gulf ), where acess to the opposite sex is limited or non existent...

and many other factors...

My point again in very plain english..

Accepting people for what they are is one thing...

encouraging attitudes that are not right is another...

i agree to the earlier bec it cant be helped...and i will not hate or dehumanise anyone for any reason...

i disagree with the later bec it can be helped....and thats why i oppose gay couples adopting..

its just my openion...

i m sure u r not suggesting that an openion that doesnt conform with urs is rediclious..!!!

i guess it was just a slip of the tounge:)

cheers
