Read the post that it's attached to and the posts before it and you may understand.

Basically i'm saying sexuality and the behavior behind it are two different things not one and the same. Just because you find someone of the same sex sexually attractive doesn't mean you are homosexual because you have to engage in the behavior of homosexuality for that to be true. There are gay men who find women sexually attractive, but don't engage in heterosexual behavior.

The behavior of such is abnormal and to deny such is to deny literacy, but go ahead and make up your meanings if you like. /boggle

Next you will likely tell me that placing ones appendage in the defecation hole of another is how babies are made.
The only "boggle" here is that you refuse to see that for homosexuals the behavior you are referring to is normal...

Go ahead and argue otherwise all you wish, you will never convince me.

There are a lot of gay people in this world. Most people have one gay relative. Is it wrong and does it make someone a horrible person? No. So now we know there are many gay people that are good people. What does being gay really mean? It means that a persons genes will be erased from existence. Maybe this is why an open minded gay person should be a critical thinker and evaluate everything. Many people think every gay person has a combative character when confronted on how their lifestyle is wrong and this is not the case with all gays. I predict that soon there will be 21st century pioneer gays with open the minds of other gays and will lead them to new areas of thought, as to why they really are gay.

If there really was a way to switch the brain and change how it works, many gays would want to know about it.

Pathetic attempt at logic. Here--go educate yourself:

"No, lesbian, gay, and bisexual orientations are not disorders. Research has found no inherent association between any of these sexual orientations and psychopathology. Both heterosexual behavior and homosexual behavior are normal aspects of human sexuality. Both have been documented in many different cultures and historical eras. Despite the persistence of stereotypes that portray lesbian, gay, and bisexual people as disturbed, several decades of research and clinical experience have led all mainstream medical and mental health organizations in this country to conclude that these orientations represent normal forms of human experience. Lesbian, gay, and bisexual relationships are normal forms of human bonding."

BTW, I'm not a man. As a heterosexual female, I can look at another woman and see why any heterosexual man or lesbian would be attracted to her. Understanding the attraction doesn't mean I share it. And a homosexual is still a homosexual if they never engage in homosexual sex. It is the ATTRACTION that defines one's sexuality, not any action.

are most people homosexual or heterosexual?

There's been rape and murder in all societies as well.

Relativistic positions are for opinions on pie and cake, they are not applicable to issues of fact. That is, your definition has no meaning outside of your subjective opinion, we use the actual definition, not yours.

LOL. Most heterosexual people would like to know about it too. Imagine if you could throw a switch and change who you were attracted to. You could set it for "fat people" and you'd have a virtual monopoly of partners anytime you wanted. Also, when you got dumped you could switch off yoru feelings for the person and feel no heartache. Nice, but it doesn't work that way.
