The above seems to ignore that many of the incorrect inclinations can also come from being molested as a young child by a man or a woman and causing a warped view of the act in the child. ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs usually were molested or raped as children, have distant or absent fathers, and overbearing mothers. We should never overlook the above when discussing the issue.

Many "lesbians" are often the result of severe sɛҳuąƖ abuse as children and from witnessing their mother's being beaten and rejected by cruel men which causes them to reject attraction to men or true feminity because they confuse being a woman and true feminity with the pathetic creature that they witnessed as their mother.

It is not surprising that we seen such a prevalence of such behavior amongst blacks because of the huge and unreported plague of child sɛҳuąƖ abuse and female abuse in their culture in the USA.

I readily admit that abuse influences a person's actions but I think that would fall under the "unacknowledged" reason.  

People who are abused need professional counseling, and although their status as victims of abuse would be an explanation for their unnatural inclinations, I don't think it is a valid excuse for their ongoing actions because there is a difference between being able to explain an action and excusing it.

Another example would be a boy who sees his father regularly beating his mother and then grows up to be a wife beater himself.  His childhood experience would explain his actions as an adult, but it does not excuse it.

Knowing the "why" is a crucial first step in changing behavior, so people tempted by ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity should try to figure out the "why", not just give up and say "God must have made me this way".

As St. Thomas points out, people are not "made" that way, so they can change their behavior.

I agree with a lot of what is being said. I believe ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity is usually related to identity trauma in childhood. There is a spiritual battle as well of course, the devil and other fallen angels want people to be confused and follow sin.

I thought I was ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ from 14 to 18 and 1/2 years old. I went to counseling, and I finally believed It was not a born condition. There are certainly sins that increase ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ desire (like exploring pornography), but their are wounds that make it easier to have a desire for it.


Knowing why allowed me to heal tremendously in about half a year. I used to have ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ feelings all of the time, but now they hardly show up, and the wall that kept me from having feelings for women is very gradually moving out of the way.

But yes, not being close to God allows one to be in ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity more readily.
I had to fix my terrible relationship with God, I was always asking for stuff, but not willing to give. I was living a double life, pretending I wasn't living in lust. It was after I began to fear hell, and turned to God for help, and received it, That I was able to change.
