Homosexuality and some fallacies towards it.

Homosexuality is not a sin or something that should be condemned at the level of society. As far as statistics are concerned, it could be considered an abnormality (10% of the population or less is homosexual, which is a very small statistic). However, other groups such as atheists also represent a minority (less than 5% of the global total). It should be noted that minority does not necessarily mean problem, evil or degeneration. The only reason homosexuality could be condemned socially is because of the LGTBIQ+ pride marches, which are extremely grotesque in many cases, sometimes including explicit sex, exhibitionism, and lamentable spectacles. But that has nothing to do with being homosexual.

Homosexuality is a condition that does not affect human health at all. To condemn homosexuals, to discriminate against them on their own, is as absurd as to discriminate against blacks, Latinos, and even whites (yes, there is also discrimination against whites, despite what certain groups may say).

Some typical objections that can be raised against homosexuality:

✅Homosexuality is a behavior, therefore a decision, and it can be changed:

NO. Homosexuality is an orientation, with biological components of genetic, epigenetic, hormonal and another origin.

✅There is no such thing as the gay gene, there is only man and woman:

This is completely irrelevant. To begin with, it was never claimed that there is a "gay gene". This is just a straw man on the part of those who continue to see homosexuality as a bad thing today, a product of their religious worldview, and they intend to place science as the backbone of their affirmations of faith. But this is not effective.

✅Only humans are homosexual, animals only exhibit homosexual behavior for reasons such as territoriality, social scale, lack of females, etc.:

That is assuming that homosexuality throughout the animal kingdom should be like in humans. But that's a big mistake. There is no reason or reason to assume that, and therefore it is a fallacious assumption. Therefore, it is only necessary to find homosexual behavior in the other animals (which, therefore, lack the component of "choice" that is attributed to humans, this being based on purely biological reasons) to validate animal homosexuality. To expect to find exactly the same human characteristics in another animal is, in fact, an error in analysis and procedure that no serious scientist would expect to obtain (which is why studies with mice are not determinant for results in humans, for example).

✅Homosexuals can change in sexual rehabilitation clinics and by the power of the blood of Christ:

That's just a fallacy of anecdotal evidence, apart from being false. There is not a single documented, peer-reviewed study in any indexed journal to prove this point. This is only stated by means of anecdotes, but they are not reliable. In fact, there have been cases where even pastors of churches and rehabilitation centers have confessed that such therapies do not work and that they themselves are homosexual:


On the biological basis of homosexuality, there are many studies on the subject, on which I have referred to the answers to the common objections. One of the most interesting features is the level of prenatal testosterone, which not only influences sexual orientation and gender identity, but also other things such as the level and incidence of autism in women. These studies are linked below:

Why did you put it here. You say that being a homo is good. You are sick. Go talk this nonsense in other places ..

His entire post is based on biological and psychological facts. Being gay is not good, it's not bad either, it's just an orientation based on many things.

How do you know it is something bad? How does that affect you? wow.

Os cristão podem orientar os gays de seguirem o caminho da verdade e liberdade na Lei de Deus. Porém possuem a liberdade de continuarem em pecado se resistirem a Graça de Deus, e perderem o melhor caminho para a vida em abundância. Fora isso, eles tem o Direito individual de permanecerem como quiserem, desde que isso não interfira na propriedade de outra pessoa. Portanto, espero que o vitimismo deles gere investimento do Estado em ações para divulgações contra falácias.

Homosexuality is not a sin

By whose definition is homosexuality not a sin? Or by what factor can we make this claim? Society? Consensus? The hive mind? Opinion? The state? The internet? Biology? Psychology?

Who can claim that they are God that they can determine what is sin and what is not sin? Or if they do not claim to be God, how could they declare homosexuality not a sin? Sin is a religious term, not a biological term. Not a psychological term.

Ways you can help the @informationwar

From what I learned about sexuality its that gays are born that way because they have an under developed portion of the brain called the Hypothalamus.

Why do some babies have an under developed Hypothalamus and some don't is the big question. Could it be baby formula vs Human milk, chemicals in the environment, vaccines or poor diet?

Hard to say but no one is focused on what main stream science already knows about human sexuality.

Sexual behavior is influenced by the hypothalamus. It stimulates the pituitary gland to release the sex hormones. When levels of those hormones falls, so does sexual desire.

I think Dr. Joel Wallach explains it best.
