    Are homosexual natures created by nurture, nature, or God?

    I think the answer is is quite important as it would show us the cause/source of homosexuality.

    If God, as believers think, then why is God creating gays?

    Why is it any of your business, or mine, what someone else's orientation is?

    There's no god. People are born the way they are. Some ppl want to use their god to judge and discriminate against others.

    Homosexuality is the result of a cycle of repetitive child molestation that has perpetuated throughout the centuries.

    How was the first homosexual created? Were they molested by a same sex-parent?

    I don't think it matters at all to how we live in this nation today. I do not believe in this "god" you speak of and could not care less if you need to believe that it is "god's" fault that folks are gay.

    In a nation that allows you to believe as you want to believe, it should not matter if some folks believe that God thinks "Gay=Bad" when making the rules as to how folks act in society. The rules of some random, or even majority, religion are not something we should, or can, take into account when generating the rules of society. Some folks do not believe that way, some even think that this "God" thinks "Gay=Good" and they too don't matter when making the rules that govern society.

    Whether God "Created" anything or not, nobody's religious beliefs should be the central reason we have any rule for how we govern society.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    Cycle of child sexual abuse:

    Researchers M.R. Hilton and G.C. Mezey discovered that there is a progression from victim to victimizer, as child sexual abusers often report a cycle of sexual victimization.

    This is particularly common in pedophiles whose preferred targets are little boys.

    Hilton & Mezey make some further points:

    1. The more deviant the patient population, the higher the rates of past victimization

    2. The choice of victims is dependent on the victims' physical characteristics, including age

    3. There is often a tendency to abuse the victim in a way that replicates the offender's own experience of abuse

    From a neurological perspective, there's no justification for the belief we have free will.

    It maters because without knowing who or what created gays, homophobes do not know who to blame and end in blaming the wrong party.

    Does justice matter to you and is blaming the right party for something not the moral thing to do?

    That depends on how you look at free will and the limits to ours.

    In some ways we all have it and can even demonstrate that we have some, and in other ways, we do not as our thinking is chemically and DNA controlled.

    The oppressed are all of our business, fool, and so are the people who oppress them without a just cause.

    I like to show that I think homophobes are less well adjusted than gays, as they put sex above love, --- while gays are better thinkers as they put love above sex.
