This is not to deny the "scientific" support for the "born-that-way" argument within the social<br />

sciences, but this support is based on the "soft" science of opinions and subjective observation<br />

(usually by ideologically pro-"gay" researchers), not the "hard" science of blood and DNA tests and<br />

other objective criteria. Much of even this “soft” science has already been discredited because of<br />

faulty sampling techniques and other invalidating factors.<br />

The "born that way" argument, therefore, is nothing but a hypothesis, one which “gay“ activists have<br />

been trying unsuccessfully to gather conclusive evidence for several decades.<br />

Consequences for Children<br />

Why is this so important? What does it matter if the pro-homosexual camp has not met its burden of<br />

proof on this question? Why shouldn't society, in the interest of tolerance, give homosexuals the<br />

benefit of the doubt?<br />

Consider the consequences of legitimizing homosexuality to children if the proponents of "safe<br />

schools" are wrong.<br />

Obviously, one consequence is that children, especially teenagers, are going to be more likely to<br />

experiment with homosexuality or to accept the homosexual advances of others. Statistically, these<br />

children's risk of AIDS and other "gay"-related STDs is dramatically increased, especially if their<br />

homosexual partners are older and more sexually experienced.<br />

This is no small matter. The proliferation in recent years of "gay" youth centers near high school and<br />

junior high campuses vastly increases the likelihood that "gay-questioning" kids will meet and mingle<br />

with the older homosexuals who haunt such places.<br />

Another consequence is that the young people who experiment with homosexuality will be more<br />

likely to conclude that they are in fact "gay." As the logic goes, if homosexuality is believed to be<br />

innate, who but a "gay" person would have and enjoy "gay" sex? Thus, both the young experimenter<br />

and all of his or her peers will be inclined to assume that he or she is "gay."<br />

This begs the question, what is "gayness?" Since there are no objective criteria that one may use to<br />

prove that someone is "gay," such as a blood or DNA test, we are left with nothing but a person's<br />

self-declaration and perhaps his or her sexual conduct as evidence. "Gay" activists, however, insist<br />

that homosexual conduct is not the determinant of what makes a person "gay," and that "straight"<br />

people sometimes engage in homosexual behavior.<br />

A "gay" identity, therefore, depends <strong>entire</strong>ly upon the emotional state and the beliefs of the<br />

individual. We all know how easy it can be to manipulate a person's emotions and beliefs. If this were<br />

not true, there would be no religious cults (and no commercial advertising on TV).<br />

This is not to deny that some people may be particularly predisposed to accepting a homosexual<br />
