I wouldn't have though it likely, seeing as how many animal species mate based upon cycles and seasons. Likewise pheromones play a part, if say a ***** isn't in heat the male dog won't be interested, because there is no "scent" to cause such interest.
Edit: That's strange. Anyway, it's a female dog I was referring to, but it changed it to stars.

I don't have my textbook with me now, and it was a long time ago, but I'll give you an idea. For ever part of a man or woman there is a an equivalent in the opposite sex: for example, the head of penis is the equivalent to the clitoris; the testes is the equivalent to the ovaries; the scrotum is the equivalent to the outer lips of the virgina. Well you get the idea. Both sex organs start off as the same pre-organ.
I hope I spelled everything correctly, forgive me if I didn’t.

I get ya.......Well I do know that when a baby starts to develop...they are the same......What about the hormone thing?....though the pheromones would probably be the same then?

Hormones are trickier, but with the right ones, a man or women can be changed to the other. The other difference is X and Y chromosomes, but even this is strange because this is XXY males & XXY females. Do you know the difference?

But XXY and XXY are disorders right ? Like Down syndrome.
Part 1
Hmmmm...You all have some interesting thoughts and premises although most people are using no evidence to back up what they are saying. Everything I have seen has been off the top of people's minds and things they have heard, not thought about. It is rubbish really. First, you must make points and then provide a argument and evidence to support the point or you have nothing. Lets look into the Bible and the gay/lesbian issue.
The Bible is 100% true
This is backed by fulfilled prophecy, multiple witnesses, archeological evidence, and personal experiance. It was written over 1500 years and remains in harmony and textually unchanged. It claims to be the inspired word of God and is he only book to have fulfulled prophecy. Secular historians (i.e. Josephus) also recorded events and are in agreement with the Bible. If you say they Bible is wrong or incorrect...please provide SPECIFIC examples.
You are Born With Homosexual Orientation
You can be born with homosexual tendencies (the Bible addresses this), but it is your choice whether or not you will actually act on that desire and have a sexual, intimate relationship with some one of the same sex. Inborn tendencies toward certain behaviors (such as homosexuality) do not make those behaviors moral. Tendencies toward alcoholism, obesity, and violence are now thought to be genetically influenced, but they are not good behaviors. People born with tendencies toward these behaviors have to fight hard against natural temptations to drunkenness, gluttony, and physical rage. Just because we're born with something doesn't mean it's normal or right. It's not true that "God makes people gay." Although the tendency and temptation is there, God respects us enough to make the choice whether or not to follow Him and do right or act sinfully. All of us have effects of the Fall we need to deal with and we ultimately decide to do right or wrong.
Part 2
Practicing Homosexuality is Wrong (or any other sexual sin)
People say "well, Jesus did not say it was wrong". True...but, He did say that the unification of people is between a man and a woman. The Bible quite clearly says that there is only one place for sexual involvement: in a life-long, exclusive marriage commitment between one man and one woman. Anything else-pre-marital sex, sex outside of marriage, sex between two people of the same gender, sex with more than one person, etc. is considered to be sin. From a Biblical perspective, it is not a sin to want to do something that the Bible forbids; it is only a sin to act on what you want – to do it. This principle can be applied to many things. Whether you experience sexual attractions to the same sex or to the opposite sex, the Bible draws a distinction between experiencing attractions and acting on your thoughts engaging in the act. I can provide specific verses if anyone needs them. Just remeber, God created Adam and Eve...Not Adam and Steve.
I hope this helps straighten out these issues a little bit more. I am extremely interested in your thoughts/comments (nothing derogatory please. Only well thought out, evidence supported comments please). However, the issue is just not about homosexuality but all morality. The basic issue though for the world today is: "is the Bible true". If it is not true we have no purpose to live, no moral standards (we wouldn't need any laws), and no basis for society or life. We have more evidence supporting the Bible than any other "religion" (yes, Evolution is a "religion"😉 yet people want to deny it because if they can deny the Bible, they can deny God. This is what the issues boil down to. The heart of the issues is an issue of the heart.
For any one who is interested in what kind of person writes crazy long posts like this...I am a 19 year old, Male, Pre-Medicine student studying in Alabama. I can't wait for your responses! 😄
different, where to begin?
First, the only thing The Bible is proof of is that ink sticks to paper. The Bible makes all sorts of claims that are untrue. Some examples include entire animal species descending from breeding populations of two members, and the Hebrews being enslaved by the Egyptians.
Second, researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago recently combed the entire human genome for genetic determinates of sexuality and found them on chromosomes 7, 8, and 10. The allele combinations on these chromosomes determine whether one will be heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual.
Furthermore, your belief that so long as on does not act on his desires, he is not committing a sin is contradicted by The Bible:
Matthew 5:28But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Not that The Bible is an authority on ethics. The Bible also condones incest and slavery.
