So were you until you looked it up. Good luck dredging up anything else about him in the last few decades...
quip, your understanding is as poor as artie's
heterosexuality is the default setting for humans
one must actively choose homosexuality
Sexual orientation, by the way, is a social construct.
Keep calling Christ a liar. Mark 10:6-8
Sexual orientation, by the way, is a social construct.
Easy: If I found out the difference between vanilla and a cigarette was self-absorbed and did damage, like all unrestrained sexual behavior (whether blinders are on or not, there is no denial), that it does damage to the body, etc. Such makes 'choice' a no brainer. Does the guy have a right to smoke? Yeah, but in front of me. My lungs don't need that.
You are basically supporting a right to kill oneself. I wouldn't care a whit if tobacco were made illegal. It WOULD be a good thing. There is NO argument against that. You can argue a right to have tobacco, but you cannot ever argue it is 'good.' That'll never happen. Can't happen. In the end, it is simply an argument to harm self, and second-hand or first-hand harming others.
Are hormones a social construction? :think:
Sexual orientation, by the way, is a social construct.
I've seen my favorite sexual stimulus change over time although never for the same sex. It is my opinion that a rejection of God within the heart is the only thing that could make same sex attraction a possibility. Until that day comes, it's impossible for me to choose homosexuality.
Also, I have had the inner conversation that if I ever did have a homosexual desire, I would not act on it. I also told myself the same things about sexual desires that could land me the death penalty. I have never desired rape but I told myself that if I ever had the desire, I would not act on it.
Nope.
So, human sexuality has a "default setting" :chuckle:
Social construct does not mean "not real"
Race is a social construct based entirely in biology.
Gender is a social construct based entirely in biology.
Sexual orientation is a social construct based entirely in biology.
Whew!...that's good.
Now........ let's connect the logical dots.....is sexuality in large part hormonal?
The sexual impulse, itself? Yes.
But then, we largely influence that with our actions, don't we? Sexual appetites, just like all other appetites, are increased and decreased by what we do (or don't do).
And that affects our hormones, doesn't it?
Actually, being a social construct would mean not based entirely in biology.
A type-2 diabetic has affected his hormones with his actions, right?
Then rather it's the desire to restrain our sexual impulses the social construction here... not the natural instinct itself.
