How differently do you imagine that you would feel today if you had never had
that harsh experience with your gay boss and his mate?

I believe that God created bisexuality, homosexuality, and sexuality in
animals and humans for a very good reason.
(Oops, that's not a scientific reason.)

How can you attack homosexuality with reason? I don't think you can.

Is homosexuality any more irrational than heterosexuality or asexuality?
(Don't try to suggest that homosexuality is irrational because its result
is fewer progeny. Individual organisms in a deme often sacrifice their own
genetic materials for the better good of the deme. Insect populations and
tribes are excellent examples.)

Can you think of any medically harmful homosexual activity which wouldn't also
be medically harmful in heterosexual form?
Didn't think so.
