What is a homosexual? The conduct? The identity? What components create that identity? Where do bisexuals fall within the scheme? Where do transgendered people fall? Hermaphrodites? People with both chromosomes but externally another? What about civilizations like the Greek one where men had male lovers but also had wives and family, and there was no thing as a ‘homosexual’? Is homosexual a social construction of a specific act or is it also the identity of the person or is it both and where do you draw the line? Read some Foucault he makes good arguments.

The nature v. nurture argument has not been settled in this field. Furthermore statistics show that most people have homosexual thoughts/actions during their entire lifetime, and very few people fall 100% strictly into the heterosexual/homosexual side as it is more like a continuum (Kinsey is a good starting point).

Furthermore does it matter? Religious people choose their religion yet still have rights; black people are born black yet still were discriminated against.

These discussions bother me as they detract from the reality of the issue… what people do in their bedrooms and who they love has no real rhyme or reason, can’t be labeled or put into a box, and it ultimately shouldn’t matter.
