Can you point out why whether homosexuality is a choice or genetic is irrelevant in a moral argument?

Question

(YOu are not being asked to say whether homosexuality is moral or immoral, only if you can give a reason this argument is irrelevant.)

Answer 1

Its actually irrelevant.

Who are you and I to say what other people can do to one another? Whether is a choice or hardwired into them, we have no right to tell them "nay"

Its none of our business.

Answer 2

How did you get 12% best answers when you write such stupid questions? Do you have some universal moral law in mind that everyone would agree on? Of course not. Therefor you can't say it's irrelevant to someone's moral code, as clearly that's not the case with some Christians, regardless of whether you can show there's no choice involved in the orientation. I won't even bother to point out that the acts themselves still involve choices.

Answer 3

It isn't. Genetics can't be denied. They aren't choices, they're just reality. You can't "deny" your blue eye color to make yourself have a green eye color instead. Oh, you can pretend by using contacts but that doesn't actually make you green eyed. Using high heels to make you taller, doesn't actually make you taller.

Making believe for something is only playing make believe, it doesn't make it reality.

Its very relavent because genetics deal with who a person fundamentally is inside and isn't a choice. Choices, while not neccesarily easy, mean that you can choose what you want to do. Genetics do not. They are inherent in your makeup.

Whether its a choice, or genetic, most definately means a great deal in a moral argument.

Its why there's a differentiation between Involuntary Manslaughter and Murder. Involuntary Manslaughter is generally not a choice. It was you or them. Murder IS a choice because it was planned.

Answer 4

The birth a soul takes is a result of past karmas.

Everything from the timing of birth, the parents, the physical appearance, personality, state of mind, emotions etc is determined by past karmas.

At such certain past karmas done by a soul might cause a person to be born with desires for the same sex. It is a conditioning of the mind which determines our preferences.

There is no question of morality or sin. It is a consequence of past deeds and like all karmic effects it can be corrected through prayers, meditation or selfless service.

Answer 5

Morals are nothing more than the time honored traditions of the human race which people afraid of change like to base on their ancestors interpretation of the bible. No one can say with certainty that homosexuality or any other path of life is moral or immoral in the eyes of God. The only reference in the bible that states whom humans should pair with states that you should pair with your own kind. (Could not our own kind simply mean another human and not a sheep ? ) People have twisted this passage to mean all sorts of things...not only male and female (procreation) but also to discourage sons and daughters from marrying outside their race or religion ..(the purity theory). All are hogwash if you ask me. They are based on the fear of change which is rife among humans. Therefore I am sorry I cannot provide you with a real awnser to your question only a defense of your question's point of view.

Answer 6

Of course it's relevant!

If homosexuality is genetic, then it can be neither moral or immoral, in the same way that black hair is no more moral than blonde.

Morality should only be applied to choices made.

Answer 7

Human Sexuality; that is Homosexuality (charm to an same-sex), Heterosexuality (charm to the different-sex) and Bisexuality (charm to both Genders) has been shown to be inborn. This became executed in a case study of same Twins, at the same time as both twins the position born and one handed off to be gay the different twin had a seventy p.c. chance of also being gay. Proving that Human Sexuality deals with Hormones interior the womb, pre-start.

Answer 8

Any issue that is phrased as a moral question would be by definition a question about choice. If it is not a matter of moral choice then it is pointless to posit it as a moral question. It is irrelevant to talk about genetic traits in this issue. Moreover the evidence does not point to there being a genetic cause for homosexuality. Our genes determine our gender, not our conscious choices about our sexual behaviour.

Comment: Judging from the feedback here it seems that most people here are not thinking through the answers but simply slamming those that do not support the pro-gay agenda. But so what, it's not about being popular, or being politically correct, but being clear about what's right or wrong and passing on a moral legacy to our children.

Answer 9

Genetic is also relevent in moral argument.

We dont know yet all about genetics , as for genetics we can say we only did our first step.

The more we know , the more questions and doubts.

I believe , the personality and character has absolutely something with genes.

If somebody wants sex with baby or children , I guess its the issue of his free will and genetics also.

Humans are the complexity itself, decided by his genes , social and natural environment and his own free will.

Homosexuality , i believe , is also caused by his/ or her genes.

I am heterosexual , so thats the reason why I feel extremely uncomfortable with this.

As homosexuals cant criticize me for my discomfort with them , so I cant for their sexuality.
AS the prgress of genetics , we can someday clearly undersatnd what is what.

Answer 10

Arguing homosexuality is not possible in a moral context, unless you want to argue heterosexuality in the same context. Neither hurts other people. And arguing it is a 'choice' makes you an idiot.
