Sorry, again you are assuming your point is true in your argument. All you are really saying is that sexual orientation is not apparent or self-evident. I don't think any of us would argue that orientation is self-evident.
I maintain, however, that a man who claims to be 'G' is making his orientation known.
but you are trying to claim that orientation is behavioral which precludes being apparent.
and if someone comes out and says they are gay I'm sure you can believe him but you don't know if that man has ever had sex. You can't assume he has because there is no way to tell. There is every possibility he has never engaged in same sex behavior which according to you mean he could not possibly be gay.
Sexual orientation is not sexual activity.
I disagree with this also. If a woman's orientation is toward other women, she makes her orientation known when she lies with another woman. If she never slept with another woman, her orientation would remain hidden in the secret recesses of her mind and heart. As your illustration above, rightly demonstrates, orientation can't be known according to normal, everyday activities such as shopping. But I think it is reasonable to ask whether her emotional orientation indicates a longing for love, rather than a desire for sex.
If this woman has "never slept with another woman, her orientation would remain hidden" that means her orientation exists and is there. Hidden or public it still exists and it exists even though she has never engaged in same sex behavior.
At the same time, gay men are well adept at letting other men know their orientation through behavior, ineptly attempting to act like a woman. And again, I think it is reasonable to ask whether gay orientation is not a desire for sex but the desire to be loved by a man.
You need to actually get out and meet some LGBT people
Many people, including straights, mistake the need to be loved with the desire for intimacy. A woman loves another woman and wants to be around her, wants her acceptance, wants to learn from her, and wants an emotional bond with her. In other words, she isn't orientated toward all women, she is orientated toward this particular woman. Not satisfied with the mentor relationship, she seeks a closer bond through intimacy. She is selfish, she wants an exclusive relationship with the beloved. And intimacy is one way to draw that line.
It words the same when a woman is in a "relationship" with a man. She is there just because of her need for intimacy and a desire to be loved. A woman loves a particular man and wants to be around him, wants his acceptance, wants to learn from him, and wants an emotional bond with him but she isn't oriented towards men. Not satisfied with the mentor relationship, she seeks a closer bond through intimacy. She is selfish as she wants an exclusive relationship with that one man.
Do you see how ridiculous this is?
That is what I do as a straight man. I am oriented toward the sanctity of marriage and committed to my wife. If and when I might grow emotionally attached to another woman, I break it off. To seek intimacy from another woman is adultery and I am not going to commit adultery. Understand?
A man who is gay-oriented has the choice to be celibate. A woman who is oriented toward Lesbianism has the choice to remain celibate. A married woman whose husband is fighting overseas for a couple of years has the choice to remain celibate in his absence. We all have a choice.
Because orientation exists without out any sort of behavior.
You are right. I wouldn't look at your evidence. I have read some of it already. The conclusions are based on a faulty premise.
For instance, I read a study that set out to compare the brains of gay men with the brains of straight men. The study concluded that being gay was a genetic trait, which manifested in some men while it didn't manifest in other men. These scientists, either inadvertently or on purpose, forgot about one of the major features of the brain: The brain changes according to the experience of the person.
I think you are referring to the 1992 study Gender and sexual orientation in relation to hypothalamic structures. by Swaab DF, Gooren LJ, Hofman MA.
You have a faulty understanding or that study.
The study looked at a dingle structure of the brain, the hypothomes and found that in gay men one lobe of this area was about twice the size as it is in straight men. It concluded nothing about genetics. Genetics were never even mentioned. If you read the study you would also know in the discussion section the researchers state that it cannot be known from this simple observation if this enlargement was a reason the men were homosexual or if the enlargement was the result of experience.
A gay man isn't gay because he has a gay brain. The brain of a gay man is different because he experienced a lifetime of gay activity. His brain adapted, as it should, to his experiences.
and decades of research has show this to be not the case.
In conclusion, I hope that as a Christian man, you will dedicate your life to a virtuous life.
I believe a virtuous man would look at the evidence.
