I love this Hermes, and if you don't mind I'll be copying, and sharing...thanks for posting. :notworthy:

I think if any theist wants to post something on this forum regarding sexuality, they should first have to answer this questionnaire, and then submit to everyone here for review.  :notes:

Are homosexual natures created by nurture, nature, or God?

I think it's a spectacularly dumb question. First, given the proper noun rendering of the deity, we can rule that one out, because Yahweh provably doesn't exist.

Second, and this is important, the whole nature/nurture distinction and all the discussion that surrounds it, couched though it is in wonderfully scientific sounding nomenclature and with vaunted minds waxing lyrical about it...

Only indicates that people will vaunt even the worst, most discontinuous of minds, because the distinction is asinine in the extreme and highlights a paucity of anything resembling real thought because - and this is going to rock your world - nature and nurture are the same bloody thing. We are products of our environments.

QuoteI think the answer is is quite important as it would show us the cause/source of homosexuality.

Silly questions are never important, but I'll humour you. Why would this information be useful? I mean, I know the answer, but I want to see if you'll actually say the quiet part out loud.

QuoteIf God, as believers think, then why is God creating gays?

Well, if God is created in man's image, and man is only happy when he's got somebody's behaviour to be all publicly pious and outraged about, I think we can see what might motivate such design. Of course, since Yahweh is a fantasy who provably cannot exist, it's a bit of moot point.

i dunno. sex and gender is something ill never understand.

This is tricky, not least because 'sex' is not well defined for general usage. In particular, it has a range of definitions that vary slightly from field to field, making a single, robust term difficult to pin down. each of those usages is perfectly robust for the field that uses it, but none of them tick all the necessary boxes, and that's led to an enormous amount of confusion.

For example, speak to a geneticist, and they'll tell you that sex is binary. Speak to a specialist in reproductive science - Robert Winston, say - and they'll tell you that sex is binary. So sex is binary, right? Well, it's not that simple, and the reason it's not that simple is that the geneticist and the reproductive science specialist are using different criteria and, more importantly, those criteria need not align.

When you finally speak to an endocrinologist, you get some sense of why this has been a problem, because hormonal sex is a distributed spectrum, because it's a balance between the two main sex hormones, testosterone and oestrogen.

What you eventually arrive at, once you've gotten past the appeals to authority, is that sex is bimodally distributed, not binary.

For completeness, gender is all of the above (because sex is a factor in gender) but with additional psychological and cultural components.

Ultimately, for me, it boils down to the simplest of things; bodily autonomy and the right to self-determination. Everything else is dog-whistling.

Thank you. I must point out that the response was from a very personal perspective. I am fortunate enough to be in an environment where my rights are protected, but I am painfully aware that there are hundreds of thousands of people worldwide for whom being bon gay is far from good luck.

There are those who think/believe God created all things, and have no answer to your question.
