The choice for homo-naturals is not the decision to BE gay, but a choice to stop resisting what they know to be true. In spite of all the reasons why it would not be wise to admit being homo-natural, most gays and lesbians come to a point of personal integrity where they know they cannot deny who and what they are. A person can choose how to act out his/her orientation and can even choose to act contrary to his/her orientation, but the person cannot choose to discard that part of him/herself that is part of the fabric of his/her being.

Although the science trying to explain orientation is admittedly incomplete, there is a strong indication that homo-natural people are the way they are because of something that happens to their physical and mental nature sometime after conception and within the first few years of life. It’s probable that a condition is mapped out in the womb and then something hormonal during early childhood triggers the development of a homo-natural nature before the child reaches an age where it can consciously choose what it wants to be.

People who are truly homo-natural but act as hetero-naturals are endangering themselves by going against their nature. I sincerely believe that science (and religion) will eventually help homo-naturality to be understood by the vast majority of people to be a naturally different orientation, not an unnatural or defective one. At that point in time the mention of the word ‘homo-naturality’ will conjure up the same degree of “so what?” that ‘hetero-naturality’ does now. When ‘orientation’ reaches this level of acceptance, then how we define morality will change. Notice I didn’t say “morality will change.”

What I said was “how we define morality”; there’s a big difference.
