A really interesting article I stumbled upon, describes things from a different perspective we don't always see.

A minor incident in a barber’s shop last week has helped me to realise that I may no longer be gay. Not a fully fledged homo, anyway; perhaps not even a part-timer who helps the team out when it’s busy. It appears I may be going straight.


I was in Tenterden, the Kentish village where I was brought up and to which I have lately returned, working at a nearby aerodrome as a helicopter pilot. I was waiting my turn for a chatty Latvian to apply the hot towels and razor.


A handsome young dad entered with a small, fair-haired boy at his side. The man took a seat and hoisted the wide-eyed child proudly on to his knee. The first haircut, I speculated inwardly, as an unfamiliar fatherly glow and feeling of mild envy swept over me. I could not tear my attention away from the mirrored reflections.


From time to time, the dad leant forward as they waited and whispered close to his son’s ear, tenderly kissing his fair head. Touching stuff


But then my eyes lowered and I became transfixed by the sight of the boy’s tiny pink fingers gripping his father’s huge, workman-like fist. And I almost wanted to burst into song.

I think my life changed at that moment.......................

I think this article will be a challenge to the gay community, who usually expresses quite strongly that your sexuality (homo-or-heterosexuality) is something you are born with and cannot change.
Patrick Muirhead, on the other hand, gives the impression that it is something you can change simply at the drop of a hat.

Interestingly enough, he seems less attracted to the opposite sex than to the idea of fathering his own child.
I wonder if that's enough to build a stable relationship on?
 
You will soon see another article like the one above titled '' The day I decided to become gay '' and it will be so promoted to remedy the effects of the first one and to keep this sentiment alive :

interesting story. but i think you can not talk about 'gay men' all in one breath, the saying tar-ing them all with the same brush comes to my mind.

We are all individual and we should listen to everyones story before we are so quick to judge.

the Divine order still stands: homosexuality is haram.
 
homosexuality?? laa hawla wala quwatta illa billah

this is the reason why the people of Lot were destroyed
 
I'm waiting for articles that go under the name of 'The Day I decided to stop being black' or 'The day I decided to stop being female'. Don't let me down, all these deadly easy decisions people can make in an instant should be making news too!

Remember that this is just one guy's view - for all we know he might have an axe to grind with the gay community.

Scientific research still suggests that our sexuality is generally genetically determined ...

Science is also founded upon the assumption that there is no God. ;)

Modern science does not accept the existence of God as a given. In fact, it argues that there is no God. Never heard of evolution?

As a matter of fact, science (chemistry in particular) has strengthened my conviction that God does exist.

A good thing. However, this has no relation to whether or not modern science itself is based on upon the assumption that there is no God.

Evolution does not disqualify the possibility of a God. It only dispells the creation myths found in Genesis and other ancient scriptures that claim God created humanity simply and instantly. It basically says 'If God exists, He didn't make humans using this method' rather than 'God doesn't exist period.'

what scientific research are you talking about? How do you define sexuality? Are you telling me that homosexuality has a genetic component? What are these genes which increases the likelihood of one becoming a gay? I am interested in knowing!

How is it that sisters of most gays are usually not lesbians? Or vice versa? Especially if they had the same parents?

Homosexuality is an abomination. Even, if a person is born a gay, it is a defect. Just like if a XY male is born with damaged or no testes, its a defect. A gay male has defective sexuality which is not good for survival of genes. But again, maybe its a way of nature to filter such "gay" genes out by making them defective?

In the absence of concrete scientific evidence for its genetic basis, I take homosexuality as a psychiatric disorder even though APA has lobbied successfully to not call it a "disease" anymore. But I am open to possibilities. like other psychiatric disorders, homosexuality might very well have a group of genes responsible for it. ... who knows.
