Causes of sexual orientation/Talk

Old Talk Debate

---

I think RK, Dmerrill and I may be able to work together on constructing a balanced article. Some points from old talk:

• I intend to avoid mentioning Cohen's religious views. I am unaware of his political views. I intend to concentrate exclusively on his psychological views and on genetic research his website and book have brought to my attention.
• I think some mention of religious views of causation are appropriate, but they should take a lot less space to describe than the genetic research and psychological theories.
• My religion specifically disclaims eternal torment in Hell. In fact, that's one of the reasons I chose to join it.

Nice move. Causes of sexual orientation is a much better title.

I agree that this is a better title, but the article now needs to reflect this balance, since right now it just focuses on the causes of homosexuality. My point in creating an article on the causes of heterosexuality was to provide balance. This article should address what causes someone to be either heterosexual or homosexual, not just focus on what causes someone to be homosexual. -- Egern

A lot of this talk was really /Debate as to what "normal" is. Please show how this is relevant to causation. Then come back to /Talk Ed Poor

You also snipped the debate about use of the word "abnormal", which is a fighting word, not NPOV. But there's no surprise, since you are a man, and we all know that there are more women then men in the world, so you are therefore abnormal. GregLindahl

I won't argue that (my wife says pretty much the same thing :-) Ed Poor
