I don't claim to know the cause of homosexuality. I know there are many different thoughts on the cause of this and some are combinations of them, such as genetics and environment. What I want to muse on, briefly, is the idea of sexuality being genetically determined.
Some people may not like to hear this but I don't think it would be much of a controversy to say that the purpose of our sexual organs is for reproduction. Sure we can find secondary purposes for them, mostly as pleasure devices, but also as a kind of original fidget spinner for the restless. My point being that none of the secondary purposes you could imagine would likely have come to be without the primary purpose of reproduction.
If you are genetically predisposed to homosexuality it should be safe to assume that heterosexuals are genetically predisposed toward heterosexuality. If you can be born coded for homosexuality even though your reproductive system is designed for heterosexuality you must accept the possibility that homosexuality is a genetic mistake. I can see where some people would find this offensive, after all it is the admission that there is something wrong with homosexuals but we should be honest with ourselves and be able to admit that being born with genetic disorders is not something we should celebrate. If a cleft palate is a genetic disorder we would want to correct it and that should follow for homosexuality if it is genetically caused.
I'm not seeking to demean anybody here but it seems like the genetic cause argument for homosexuality is far more demeaning than an argument from choice or preference.
