Define "sound".

Iasked the question, how is homosexuality biologically sound?
The responses are, because our book of fairy tales tells us to poke our noses where it doesn't belong, and why can faith-heads never leave sexuality alone.

I couldn't give a monkey's about whether it's biologically sound (whatever that may mean); as long as gays do no harm to anybody I don't consider it my business. The question you have to answer is: why the hell do you feel the need to interfere and to judge?

Define "sound".

Rational. Supported. Valid.

Homosexuality exists, therefore it is biologically valid.
Your question makes no sense.

There was nothing judgemental about the question. You can either answer it, or you can't.

Mm, if you're leaning towards idiotheism, I don't think we'll get along well. I'm very protective of rights and freedom, so please don't try debating with me about homosexuality and I'll try to not debate with it with you (unless you make a thread about it, in which I'll rage onward).

Quote:But first, I hope you do know homosexuality is a natural thing and not a choice (or so I've been told), somethings about an increase of... Androgens?

I'm not sure, I'll have to get the link one of these days... But basically, fighting homosexuality is pointless because it will never be gone. Ever. Seriously. Unless you become a second Hitler and kill them all...

But besides that mini-rant, I s'pose I'll welcome you, but if you're homophobic I might have to unwelcome you. T3T

Tails is offering to bring evidence to the argument. An emotional argument is not evidence.

Nothing judgemental, my arse! The question is meaningless and nonsensical - and your elucidation made that worse - but it was clearly fishing for a negative judgement.
I repeat: leave sexuality alone where it doesn't concern you. Don't judge what you don't need to judge. Live and let live.

To your credit you did not respond with an emotional argument or attempt to enter into a debate armed with inconclusive evidence. I read the links that you provided. The research is still ongoing. Nothing conclusve.

Indeed... just so far as you are aware of the evidence and data that the scientific community has found in attempt to explain why this phenomenon occurs
