No one is suggesting that any behavior be legally proscribed. The problem is that no one is allowed to say that wrong behavior is wrong. Tolerance and approval are not the same thing, and we are no longer asked to tolerate homosexual behavior, but to approve of it. That’s immoral even if you do approve of homosexual behavior; it’s an abrogation of free speech, and an attempt to force your own beliefs on others. Yet that is the current situation in this country.

Genes do not create any behavior. The idea that they do is merely an excuse, such as the idea that my mother was an alcoholic because of her genes and not because she chose to drink alcohol. No genetic manipulation will stop homosexual behavior, because all behavior is a choice.

As to “feeling aligned with one’s true self”: human beings are created with sex chromosomes–XY in males, and XX in females. Homosexual behavior is living a lie.

And yes, I know some very nice, personable people who are engaged in homosexual behavior. I don’t want to hurt their feelings. But it’s better to hurt their feelings than to encourage them to continue to do what is wrong.
