What "outrageous travesty of free speech"?

An imagined one by the Press Council that allows you to write an article complaining, containing a link to the original article to make sure that a lot of people who never saw it in the first place get to read it…

Faux indignation of the first order.

This intrigued me… "Never mind that the Genome Project mapped the genetic makeup of the whole human body without finding a gay gene" but I would have been more impressed if you'd told us where they found the heterosexual gene – it would be fun to look it up online. Unless you have indisputable scientific evidence not available to the rest of us?

"Do you know of any cases where gay people have switched sides?"

Two that come to mind immediately:

. Elton John, who was in a traditional marriage and divorced , but is now in a relationship with a man;

. Senator Penny Wong, who had a five-year relationship with the current South Australian Premier during their Young Labor years, but is now in a relationship with a woman.

Gay activists are known to dislike the publicising of gays with bisexual history, as it debunks the claim that homosexuality is innate. They oppose any suggestion that sexual preference comes down to choice.

Consequently, it is not widely reported that certain professional therapists and counsellors offer 'sexual reorientation therapy' to help people overcome unwanted same-sex attractions. The study of sexual-orientation change efforts to date, shows that some people can indeed move from homosexuality to heterosexuality, and that harm is unlikely to result from such efforts

Wrong Raycom it doesn't effect it at all it just means one or two things. That not only are there hetro and homo there is also bisexual, two that people can have trouble coming to terms with their sexuality.

The point you missed though is so what! As long as it is between consenting adults then I don't care what people do. Good luck to them.

Raycom,
Elton John was probably gay before he entered a heterosexual marriage.

It is possible there is a slight difference between gay men and a small % of gay women as to choice; and of course bisexuality is on the wide continuum of human sexuality.

Jim Wallace,
Jim, you are right to say there is no gay gene; or, more correctly, there is no known set of alleles that form a locus or loci of genes for gayness or non-gayness.

Human sexuality is a continuum with physical variation such as intersexes physically or physiologically or both.

There are, or have been, hypotheses about intra-uterine events that occur as part of the mechanism of sexual differentiation and development of characteristics of sex.

.
A key point is that

the testament of almost all homosexual persons is their homosexuality is Not a choice.
