		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Although there is no data to substantiate a genetic or biologic basis for same-sex attraction, homosexuals prefer the biological explanations of hormonal imbalance, &lt;b&gt;sexual abuse&lt;/b&gt;, prenatal hormone defect or lack of bonding with a same-sex parent as this helps to generate greater tolerance and building their case for minority status.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

What?? Who prefers that explanation? And how is that biological?</description>

		<description>The anti gay point fingers of blame for homosexuality on everything but the OBVIOUS. There is a simple reason for it, but the most logical one is avoided, rather than accepted.

   Occurrence of homosexuality, throughout all human history and cultures proves it&#039;s not affected by any of those things.
  In this century, in this age of vast information and more integrated human experience, creating and continuing a system of hostility, violence and isolation only exacerbates lack of education, experience and evidence contrary to why such beliefs are held in the first place.

   The tragedy, is that no lesson is learned that nothing good has come from it. Nothing exceptional, to even further religious or cultural beliefs can happen.
  And although beliefs can and have evolved, it&#039;s gay people and homosexuality that are the constant, more predictable factor in all this.

     Trusting something that IS consistent, it would seem to me, would be more logical.
But of course, logic is the least applied factor in this whole subject.</description>

		<description>So how do you reconcile first giving many examples of homosexuals&#039; place in African history, and then say that anti-homosexuality is traditional?
So much for re-reading their own article.</description>
