However science does seem to establish that is a fact. It appears that a persons sexual orientation is a genetic condition. I think a persons responsible sexual behavior is guided through nurture even though their orientation can never be changed by nurture. I can see where someone would be troubled by seeing young teens in the spotlight on the issue of sexual choices, homosexual or heterosexual.
All intelligent and respectful discourse goes out the window when someone calls someone else ignorant. I think you just said that you want your grandchildren to grow up respecting all others regardless.
This is a very sensitive issue for most people. Understanding another kind of sexual orientation is not easy for most people.

You nailed it with that paragraph Gracie. Some of us not believing in Fact makes it hard to open our eyes to reality. Fact should not be based on what we like, but rather on what is TRUE.
