I agree, but as a gay ex-Mormon, I have seen that educating people about the (mostly) biological origin of homosexuality is the most effective way to break through people’s dogmatic shields and make them start empathizing with gay people.
- jhbadger 8y agoThe danger of assigning a biological cause is that now with CRISPR there is the argument that we should find the site(s) responsible and edit them out in future embryos. Just accepting the result without assigning a cause doesn't have this problem.
- jessaustin 8y agoAre you predicting that CRISPR will succeed at this odious task? Or that it won't? Because either way... that would seem to settle the question, wouldn't it?
- jhbadger 8y agoI'm not predicting either way. Nobody really knows if human homosexuality is genetic, developmental, social, or a mixture of the three. I'm saying that if it is shown to be genetic, the idea that this will help acceptance is flawed.
