Billboard proclaims "Nobody is born gay"

[StealthySkeptic]

A group claiming to advocate for "ex-gays" has purchased a billboard along a busy Virginia highway proclaiming that "Nobody is born gay," reports Richmond TV station WWBT.



PFOX is a nonprofit organization which claims that people can choose not to be gay, stating on its website that "people deserve to know the truth about the many men, women, and children who have made the decision to change their lives" and "overcome same-sex attraction." Founded in 1998, PFOX proudly announces it "was created specifically to be an alternative to the misinformed gay family groups which insist that parents only prove their love for their gay child if they support gay rights and affirm their child's self-proclaimed gay identity. PFOX teaches parents that it's ok to love their children without placing any conditions on that love."

A.) Just because the twin studies (which are highly criticized) found that there is only a chance that the second twin will also be gay does not mean that genetics do not play a factor. Besides, even identical twins can have slight genetic differences, and we do not know which specific genes play a role in sexual orientation.

B.) We can logically conclude, based on child development and the innate nature of sexual identity as it shapes romantic attraction, self-identification, etc. that one CANNOT CHOOSE to be gay, whatever the exact mixture of causes.
