Fruity

In my previous post, I mentioned our talk over dinner with Michael Brand about flies and homosexuality. It's actually really interesting. Apparently, there is a gene that changes the sexual behaviour of flies, so instead of courting a female, these flies would court the males, and also welcome being courted. This will obviously be a strong arguement that gays are gays because they can't help it. I listened once to Sy Rogers speaking about homosexuality. Must listen to it again. If gays are gays because they're geneticaly predisposed, then why is it wrong to be gay? It's like a mutation, just like if you have a mutation in a gene that causes you cancer, it doesn't make it wrong to have a growth. Why do we have to make gays straight? Is it God's intention for gays to be gays and we are just judging people? My reasoning is that God asked Adam to be fruitful and multiply. And even if you don't believe in the bible, it's quite obvious our "function" to pass on our genes to the next generation. Even animals do it naturally. If gays are meant to be, then why can't men produce offspring with men, and similarly women with women?
