When it comes to sexual self-gratification, can someone please tell me where is the flaw in my logic? We all know the Biblical story of Mary and Joseph, but how many of us find it hard to accept that Mary may well have been a young teenager at the time of her betrothal to Joseph?
So, if a man is attracted to little children we call him a paedophile. If a man is attracted to retired people we call him a gerontophile. Therefore, surely, if a man is attracted to another man we should call him a homophile? You see, although I agree that consenting adults should be free to do as they please, I do not agree that young people should be taught that homophilia (a.k.a homosexuality) is normal.
Charles Darwin identified a mechanism that he believed explained how plants and animals have progressively developed over geological time. He was struck by the fact that we live in a world where organisms are demonstrably in competition with each other for scarce resources, and where those best-suited to their environment are most likely to survive (i.e. “the survival of the fittest”). Darwin went on to call this process “natural selection”.
Therefore, leaving aside the argument as to whether evolutionary thinking is compatible with faith in God (dealt with on my website), in terms of natural selection alone, the future does not look good for homophiles. They are infertile and incapable of sexual reproduction and, therefore, without human intervention they should lose out in this fight for survival.
However, on the contrary, it seems that the “gay rights” movement is destined to make homophilia a socially acceptable form of dysfunctional behaviour and, with the help of equal adoption rights, make it possible for such people to “have children”. If so, what chance do their adopted children have of seeing their parents behaviour for what it is?
P.S. I am not homophobic (i.e. I do not feel threatened by homosexuals). On the contrary, I feel great compassion for them. (Please see the relevant chapter in Why Men Don't Iron", by Anne and Bill Moir).

very interesting. we should pick this up again..
Thanks for popping by my blog to pass comment (as opposed to wind) but I am not sure if you meant it or were being sarcastic? As far as I can see, your new template IS quite cool. However, as you can see I am only just getting to grips with adding a photo to my blog, so have some way to go before I try anything quite so complicated. How on earth to you bloggers have time to do anything else?
