Re: Etiologies?

"Until we (they) can arrive at what exactly causes someone to be sexually attracted to children then we cannot say what it is. I view it as being a fault in development since it makes more sense to me than any other possibility."

And the demand for a, "Who caused the world?" creates Ghod. Sometimes the problem isn't the answer, its the question.

The evidence shows the question to be suspect. Its answer has never been demanded for one orientation, and its been dropped for most others. The history of the progress of human rights has been a cessation of the asking of what "causes" sexual orientations.

Further, a look at who asks, and of who asks it of whom, and of who fails to ask it of whom reveal it to be a form of majoritarian bias; not an honest inquiry in the least.

"I am not here to promote this view to others. I simply state that is what I believe."

And if you declare Paris to be the capital of Brasil; you don't get to fall back on "I state it because I believe it," when someone asks you for supporting evidence.

How about going one step further? Instead of "I don't know what causes Homosexuality," why not try, "I don't know if there is a cause for Homosexuality." And, maybe, "Even if there is, would it be relevant to treating them like full human beings rather than like defective heterosexuals?"

The rest of the civilized world has come around to no longer treating minority sexualities as if they were broken variations on the unquestioned majority.

If it waddles and quacks like a sexual orientation.... it makes more sense than trying to treat Homosexuality as "norm" and Pedophilia as not.
