While scrolling through the thread, to get caught up, I caught this, from mauvepink's link, the very first sentence,..now pay attention!......"This question asks for scientific explanations rather than religious or moralistic answers.
Unfortunately, there is not yet a conclusive study which tell us exactly what causes homosexuality."

Isn't that EXACTLY WHAT I SAID???!!!

And to Ake, Homosexuality refers to sex with the SAME gender, either male to male or female to female...not exclusively to men.

Okay, We are having some company arriving very shortly. Being as the thread is now 'discussing the issues a little deeper, and delving into the moralistic, religious, psychological, and the scientific aspects of this, getting back on, will be among my top priorities!! Because there is a lot more to share with you, and hopefully you may all be receptive, because somebody's missing something, by just looking at one aspect!!..Remember the story I posted, of the 'Blind Men and the Elephant'!!...If not, re-read that post carefully...and hopefully understanding,and open mindedness will prevail.....because if WE, as musicians fall into the trap that has everyone squabbling, we are no better, and have NOTHING to say. It wasn't always that way. Years before, it was the musicians and particularly the 'folkies' that had a LOT to say, and we made a difference! We can't just fall back, remembering those times, and think that we still do, just because WE ONCE DID!! There was a time that we were the thinkers, not the followers.Perhaps we should 'wise up' and be the thinkers, once again, and stop chanting symptomatic mantras of disinformation and politics, that limit science, instead of expanding it!!!...or co-opting it!!!!
With Much Regards,and Hope,
