Homosexuals are victims, as they often tell you.  They can be products of a nightmare childhood, or, as often in the case of lesbians, the products of a nightmare marriage.  They turn to members of their own sex in search of normalcy, a sensuous life without condemnation that they can seek without the fear of intimacy that was imposed upon them by members of the opposite sex.  In these modern times, it takes less fear to turn to the same sex for intimacy because of the widespread acceptance of finding sensual pleasure from the same sex.  Many young people are urged to find their "sexual orientation" as soon as puberty hits, as though the presence of a penis or a vagina were not sufficient evidence.  (While it is true that it is sometimes not obvious which sex is prevalent in a child, usually the physical sex is easily determined.)

But having said that, homosexuals should not be categorized as all one hyper-erotic type. Homosexuals can be good parents, and good step-parents.  Homosexual love, like all love, is based on concern for their partner, over and above the erotic overtones.  Homosexuality is a product of our culture, and it is the nature of our culture to ignore the basic fabric of human survival in these modern times.

Human beings are the product of heterosexual union.  Whether this union is achieved by sexual intercourse or a test-tube doesn't change the nature of reproduction.  A society that is fit to survive will cultivate the nurturing of healthy unions so that children
