Noel asked:You were talking about the gay gene. Even if they did find a gay gene I don't see how it would be justified... Let's say there's a murder gene that doesn't justify murder, or if there's a get drunk and beat your wife gene that doesn't justify getting drunk and beating your wife. I don't even see how that argument is used by the pro gay movement.Patrick Madrid replied:"...Here's how it's being used. It's really a cop out technique. It's a way of saying hey this is how I am, this is how I was made therefore don't judge me. You can't say that what I'm doing is wrong because it's my genetic make up. That's the claim. It's not even proven yet.But it's a way to cop out of one's personal responsibility to say I don't have to live up to moral standards because if I convince myself and enough other people that as a heterosexual male my heterosexual,and I'm using my terms very carefully here, my heterosexual genetic make up predisposes me to be attracted to members of the opposite sex therefore I can do whatever I want. And there should be no limits or barriers or restraints on what I can and might do. No that's not a valid argument. And it would be just as invalid in the case of homosexuals as well..."
