Hey there! So this week was cool, we talked about a lot. Everything from gender roles to depression to same gender attraction, it was rad. We looked at some of the underlaying causes, both social and biological, for homosexuality which I found fascinating. There was actually quite a bit more attributed to the social side than I had been led to believe. With all the talk going around about "the gay gene" and with people talking about how some are just born gay I think that as important as opinions are, closer attention to research is the better way to determine this touchy topic. The fact is, is that there is a lot of opinion and conjecture out there and in my opinion we're probably better off doing this by the numbers.
  Undoubtedly there are points in favor of both sides, but I see no reason why the truth can't be some where in the middle. Rarely are these things ever black and white, so why treat it as such? Why can't it be that a predisposition for what is conceded in our society as gay, masculine, or feminine behavior mixed with ones complex life experiences lead one to question traditional sexual orientation? Just because a man likes to dance or has a more delicate voice doesn't make him homosexual... it makes him different. And different is good! Different is what makes culture so interesting. I digress, I'd rather not cause a fuss but we as a society certainly don't make it easy for those who are different to fit in. Especially with those of our same gender.
  So I guess that the message of the day is this, don't be so stubborn. Be open to new information. This doesn't mean you have to relinquish your point of view, it just allows you to have all the information in order to form it.  I think Jesus Christ said it best, "the truth shall set you free"( John 8:32). So why not? Anyways thats all for now, as always feel free to leave a comment below. Id be happy to share the sources on what we talked about this week!
