| − | The '''causes of [[homosexuality]]''' are attributable to man's sinful nature, nurture and environment, and personal choice. How important each factor is, though, is an issue that is debated. Those from the most [[liberal]] school usually assume a philosophy of determinism, treating homosexuality as an identity or orientation which one has no choice over, and which cannot be changed. This belief is then used to justify acting it out.<ref>Sylvia Thorson-Smith, ''Reconciling the broken silence'', p. 30</ref> The contrasting and warranted position is that homosexuality is a choice, that of yielding to ultimately harmful desires, and which choice is partly affected by nurture and environment. | + | The '''causes of [[homosexuality]]''' Being Homosexual is not a crime, it is not against nature. If you are gay that's okay because you are just as much of a human being as the next person. The fact that you are willing to fight for the right, despite what anyone else says, to love another human being shows just how amazing you really are. |
