If they want to introduce Mein Kampf or Lenin to study - it is fascist and socialism
"Mein Kampf" would fall under the category of religious teachings.
Hitler's religious beliefs and fanaticism
(Selected quotes from Mein Kampf)
One example:
Quote:
"Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord."
Mein Kampf (pronounced [maɪ̯n kampf], "My Struggle") is a book by Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. It combines elements of autobiography with an exposition of Hitler's political ideology.
Religious bigotry is still bigotry.
Do you get nervous when a young black male is around too?
What strawmen? I've never took your argument out of context. I simply asked you for one study that you feel has the most meaningful conclusion to sexual orientation being innate. I have access to Jstor.
So you don't know what a strawman statement is either?
Where did I say you took my argument out of context? (taking something out of context is not in itself a straw man argument btw).
How about you state what you think my 'argument' actually is?
In fact, why don't you state what YOUR argument is?
I have posted links to many research articles and studies. You claim to have read them all. You choose one.
But you are completely missing the point if you think taking one study on it's own and trying to tear it down using semantics and straw men proves anything at all other than your blind prejudice.
My argument is that all the research from at least the past 20 years supports the hypothesis that homosexuality as a sexual orientation is biological (this does not mean purely genetic btw). There is no reliable evidence to show that it is a choice, just a behaviour, 'caused' by having a distant father, can be changed with therapy or prayer, or any other lame non-evidence-based claim made by the religious anti-gay crusaders.
This statement pretty much sums up my views and the views of most knowledgeable health professionals and scientists in the field. Views based on the available evidence, not religious propaganda, ignorance and prejudice.
"Despite almost a century of psychoanalytic and psychological speculation, there is no substantive evidence to support the suggestion that the nature of parenting or early childhood experiences play any role in the formation of a person’s fundamental heterosexual or homosexual orientation. It would appear that sexual orientation is biological in nature, determined by a complex interplay of genetic factors and the early uterine environment."
