To Brittany: I do not mean to attack your religion. But I do think that assuming details about genetics due to ones holy book is dangerous. Almost all scientists agree that we, as humans, are born with a sexual desire towards our own species. Something in the way our brains work arouses sexual attraction when we see an attractive member of the opposite sex. We do not learn this way of thinking, I’m sure that you yourself have experienced appreciating the apperance or manners of a handsome male even before someone told you about the finer details of human reproduction. ‘Teaching’ a person to feel the instinctive urge to make love to another person would require some lengthy and truly bizarre training. If our minds wasn’t born with this programming, we would have no real incentive, apart from basic reproduction, to make love. If heterosexuality was purely a clinical, intellectual institution created by society or religion in order to ensure reproduction, the different cultures on earth would vary immensely. But in reality, in every culture throughout history, human sexuality has been largely the same. I think we agree on these basic facts. The interesting scientific bit is this: if a human female or male can be born with an instinctive desire towards the opposite sex, it would also be possible for her to be born with desire towards the same gender. It would also be possible for a female fetus to develop a male brain by accident. Genetics is immensely complicated. You would be amazed to see what hormones and genetic mutations can do to a child in the womb (children being born with certain personality traits, african american couple giving birth to a child that looks white, hermafrodites (persons who are both male or female, or no gender), and of course tragic cases of additional or missing limbs, mental illness and other disabilities.) Of course, all this is scientific, based on research and experiments. If you choose only to base your knowledge and views on sexuality on religious texts, it is another matter. In that case it’s a question of spirituality which I think is very personal and cannot really be discussed like mundane matthers.
