Actually it's you who is basing everything on what you think you know. You don't even appear to understand that sexual orientation is not all about sex.

I'm basing my opinion on the evidence from all the peer-reviewed research over the past 60 years.

What I and most other boy's my age in our area encountered was an attempt by older homosexuals to recruit us. Of the 7 other boy's that I was around on a regular basis, only 1 did not experience a similar experience. And we heard of others having such encounters quite often. It usually centered around magazines they would give us. This leads me to believe that's it's less than a thing one is born with than something one is enticed into. Those kid's I knew who entered into homosexual activities were all recruited. While I know there are exceptions to every rule, I must recognize the fact's of what I and my friends and peers encountered.

Based on these facts and God's clear view of homosexuality as sin, I cannot see it otherwise. One would have to change my life experiences and God's word to change my mind. That is of course an impossibility.
I call BS on this.
