My arguement/opinion is based off my personal observations and the lack of research into the formative years of homosexuals. I do not have a desire to label it a disorder other then I think that is the closest term in clinical psychology to describe what it is in my observarations and I am obstantly stuborn about being trutheful.
The thought that it is the response I.E. the scar if you will (not scab) left by psychological trauma caused to sum1 at an age that can mentally rebound from such a thing but can't mentally comprehend what is happening to them(this does fit my observations) certainly casts the term of disorder into question in my mind but then what would you call it in psychologicly?
Psychological trauma does indeed leave a mental scar, allways, and like all scars, they are visible if you know what to look for.. so here's the problem for your theory, they looked all over, but there is no "gay scar", there is no pattern, there is nothing to see on brain scans that indicates trauma, there is no consistant commonality between cases that suggest causality, nothing, zilch, nada, and you are obviously not a Psychologist, you have gathered no data on zero patients, so what data do you really have that you base your opinion on, that you can tell all the worlds Psychologists that they are wrong?
And don't think they haven't looked, finding a Psychological cause for Homosexuality would be a holy grail of career advencement in that field, if anyone actually did it, all kinds of doors would open for them in the field of Psychology and they would get published for sure, so it most certainly has been studied! And still is!
But there is no evidence, none, and the fact that there is no evidence, when the evidence should infact be obvious and easy to find (there are obvious patterns for all the other Psychological disorders, and no, i'm not thinking of patterns of the disorder, as in "you have sex with dead bodies therefor you have a disorder called Necrophillia", but patterns that led to the disorder, as in "thease events in your childhood led to your developping the disorder called Necrophillia", that's a key difference there!), makes it extremely unlikely that there exists a Psychological cause for Homosexuality, i'd give it the same chances as my car beeing struck by a meteor tonight.
Everything we have done, found, researched and uncovered points to there beeing a biological cause, not a Psychological one.
A lot of people don't
like that answer though, not because it's not absolutely plausible, it certainly is both plausible and the most likely explination, according to the Science that has been carried out thus far, no, they don't like it because it's inconveniant, because they belive man was created in God's image, and that every child has the same inherent chance to be "saved", but they also belive that Homosexuality is a sin, and thus, the idea that God would allow Babies to be born gay, born predisposed if not destined to live in sin, is frightening and confusing to them, it threatens them.
Thus, despite all evidence to the contrary, they shun the idea that this can be happening, and instead cling to the idea that it is a choice, or that it must be Psychological, because that means it could have been prevented and God didn't make them that way!
And here you are, Fud, a relegious man, adamently clinging to the idea that Homosexuality must be the result of Psychological trauma, dispite all lack of evidence, and solid evidence suggesting the opposite, clinging to your opinion as was it the mast of a sinking vessel, glacing over any evidence that points to the contrary, stamping your feet, and proclaiming "i am certain that i am right"!
It's pretty obvious where i'm going with that, isen't it? And no doubt, your first reaction to reading this will be to tell me that i am wrong, that i have misjudged you.. ahh, but it is not me you need to convince of that, it is yourself, and as a man who claims to value truth and honesty, allways know this; Truth starts at home, and no man who lies to himself is capable of conveying truth to others.
