Not me, that's for sure. But with pop media treating it like its a virtue, the number who can "handle" it will only grow.
Unless the repulsion is something biological... i don't think it will grow and just remain as it's always been.

Well, it has been growing.

It is biological, but humans are able to override their natural instinct.

The peer pressure to be PC is a powerful thing.

It doesn't affect me much in this situation. I've always felt as i have. So maybe i am being too objective through my own subjective experience. I can see what you mean that PC pressure could make some other's more malleable change.

Here is something that just occurred to me. You said you think revulsion at the homosexual act may be innate, that is, biological. If this is true, why do you think we developed that trait? To clarify my qusetion, what do you think evolution was trying to do (or prohibit) by making us repulsed by homosexuality?

Well you know the answer to that... procreate. That doesn't make it wrong in my opinion... but, i would be okay with calling it unnatural.

I wouldn't put any labels on it. It isn't something a person can be "cured" of or de-convinced of anyway.

Its nice to be able to talk about it without anyone calling anyone else a bigot or homophobe.

Homosexuality is a mental disorder.

There is really no such thing as sexual identity

Silly liberals think they can be a gender other than the one they were born. They also think there are like twenty million different genders. Idiots. They're insane.

I can't tell if you are calling me silly or trolling.  This thread is related to "the homosexual act", homosexuality being behavior.  I was not talking about gender.

how I understand things:

a)biological sex is the reproductive role your body is physically set up to do.
b)Sexual identity is the role you are mentally set up to do.
c)Sexual orientation refers to the sex you are attracted to.

gender is often used to refer to the combination of a,b and c of an individual, especially how an invdividual varies from a=b<>c.

However not all writers would agree with the above and not all writers use the terms consistently!

I believe the term "homosexual act" would refer to what two boys do when they love each other.
