I would like to start by saying that I do not have anything against homosexual people. If that is the sexual orientation they decide to adopt, then that is their problem, not mine. I do not really understand what goes on in a person's mind to feel attracted towards the same sex. According to some documentaries that I have watched on television, homosexual people say that what they feel is almost like an instinct. Something they cannot help themselves from doing. Just like heterosexuals are instinctively attracted to the opposite sex, homosexuals are "instinctively" attracted to their same sex. Although I do not agree with it, I respect their point of view. However, I do not agree with scientists trying to find a way to alter someone's sexual orientation.
After reading an article on slate magazine, I did not know what to think anymore. The article explains how scientists altered some genes in the brain of female worms, ultimately making them feel attracted to other female worms. It seemed to me, after reading the article, that they also have tried it on flies and mice. They believe that sexual orientation is "hard-wired" and can be changed scientifically. I think this is absurd, after all we are talking about living beings. We are not talking about some kind of electrical circuit on which one can just change cables to get different outcomes.
From what I understood from the article, they are hoping that they will achieve the same kind of result on human beings. What kind of society would we live in if scientist could wire us to be homosexuals? Obviously, these people have no concept of what God intended for us to do. We are here to procreate, not to have a homosexual population. What good would it do for them to be able to "wire" us that way? Apparently, they have no idea of the consequences that this may incur on our society.
Like I said previously, I do not have a problem with homosexual people. However, I do not think that God intended for the world to be like that. Otherwise, He would have created two Adams or two Eves; don't you think? Science has definitely gone too far in my opinion. What are scientist going to do next? Are they going to try to figure out a way to allow men to conceive a child?

I have alot of homosexual firends. My soon-to-be sister-in-law is a lesbian, and I am bi-sexual. I dated a woman for almost 3 years and still find myself attracted to women.
It's the same as being straight. You have your preferences. You don't like every man you see, just like homosexuals and bi's don't feel attracted to everyone of the same sex. It IS almost like instinct.
I am not a Christian. I believe we were created, but I also have other thoughts about things. I think some people DID eveolve, but I'll save that for another blog!
That being said, I agree with you! People are born the way they are... that's that. Did you consider this while reading that article... what if they were trying to turn GAY peple STRAIGHT... by figuring out how one is gay, they may be able to reverse it. I wouldn't agree w/that either.
It's wrong and there are more important things in the world to figure out than that.
