Scientific study shows that gays are born gay.
I'd like to attack this ridiculous article and still show respect to IslamIsCancer who is an excellence member of the forum. I think this is an important topic and I'm glad I have a chance to respond.
They determined that homosexuality was determined by brain size? Who are these "scientists"? That's not proof. That's not even science. It's propaganda.
Some people are born with an inclination to kill. It doesn't mean that person should murder, G-d forbid. It means that they face a different set of challenges. It means this person should perhaps join the military instead of killing an innocent victim.
Some people are born with an inclination to be lazy. Some are born without any sense of conscience or guilt. Some are born with an inclination for cruelty. Being born with an inclination is no excuse or license to take part in immoral or obscene behavior.
The entire concept that people should do what they feel is the reason that Israel is in such a horrible mess right now and that JTF is so important.
There are two opinions in psychology. (1) One is that people are victims of their feelings and can't help what they do. (2) The other is that a person can make decisions against emotions by using logic. One sets up a person as a victim and removes personal responsibility and is embraced by the left. The other opinion (which is the actual truth) says a person has free will to make decisions and can change the outcome of their feelings... that a person acts first and then feels the appropriate emotional response later - like being proud and respecting yourself for exercising self control.
It's dangerous when people say someone is born a certain way and it's completely done out of bias and excuses. Their "logic" is that is someone is "born" a certain way, then it gives that person full license to do whatever they feel and the Torah tells us something much different.
