is sexuality fluid?

Agreed.

Homosexual orientation for some people, or maybe all people, may have an environmental element involved. This factor may come into play at a very young age, or throughout a persons lifespan.

It doesn't matter.

Okay, here's the thing. You seem to be giving a different argument than I'm used to. You aren't automatically rejecting the claim that homosexuality can be learned. So, if we can assume:

1. Homosexuality can be developed
2. Homosexuality is inherently unhealthy for the individual
3. Homosexuality is inherently unhealthy for society

...because of #2 and #3
IT DOES MATTER!

If #1 is true, then why should we endorse homosexuality? Why should we not try to keep people from adopting the homosexual lifestyle?

Obviously these 3 assumptions are all in question. But I'll tell you that #2 is really well established. And if that is established... if the population of homosexuals (not individuals) are more likely to die younger, have more disease, have more psychological problems, etc. than the average heterosexual, then you can't deny that there will be a negative impact on society, especially by encouraging society to endorse homosexuality.

I don't know or care. For you, the question would be, think about the details of having sex with her, as you would with a guy. Does this compute?

Please stop spreading your anti-gay bigotry in the relationship forum. Take your ill informed opinions and negativity to the Politics forum please. You have NO clue what you're talking about.

Huh? Neither one of you actually replied to my post.
