Let’s not give Cain too much credit here however. Like most politicians, no one really knows what Herman Cain really believes accept Herman Cain. He will pander and grovel to the lowest instincts of his political constituency by saying what they want to hear.

Orientation and identity are not a choice.

Cain gets criticized because he’s wrong, and because he lamely says “show me the science” as if he already knows that there isn’t any science, when, in fact, many studies for many years have linked biology to orientation.

The factors that already linked biology with orientation include: female fertility, fraternal birth order, orientation among twins, brain hemisphere size, hypothalamus size, brain area INAH-3, fluoxetine intake, suprachiasmatic nucleus, sex pheromone brain reaction, brain amygdala activity, left-handedness/ambidextrousness (more likely among homosexuals), counterclockwise men’s hair whirl (23% among gays, 8% among straights), women’s finger length ratio, Caucasian men’s limb/hand length compared to height, penis size (slightly longer, thicker penises in gays), reaction to men’s sweat aroma, eye blink after loud sound, verbal fluency (higher among homosexuals), object location memory in males (better among gays), hearing, vocal pitch, eye blinks, stress, and X chromosomes.

While the exact mechanisms and relationships need further definition, it remains undeniable that biology before birth is linked to orientation afterward.

Homophobes often say “there’s no gay gene” as their only evidence that orientation/identity are a choice. But they’re wrong. Temporarily being unable to identify any genetic cause is irrelevant, because other factors have already linked biology to orientation. Genetic evidence may be identified later, or maybe never, but that no longer matters, as the biological link is already proven.

I was “hard-wired” a certain way myself. No one taught me to feel that homo-sexuality was distasteful…I just naturally feel that way. No one raised me to feel repulsed by it…it’s just how I feel.

Look. I wish no harm to anyone. But I also resent being made out a bigot for not accepting a lifestyle which disgusts me. I’m tired of all the “in your face” promotion of homo-sexuality by the media and Hollywood these days. What you do on your own is your business, but I resent you trying to make it mine.

So if you want us “phobes” to accept there’s nothing you can do about it, accept there’s nothing we can do to change the way it makes US feel.

You can’t change your behavior, but I’m required to. That’s bull.
