Perhaps the greater tolernance of people outside what is termed the norm is only just, and the more rational approach is greater tolerance. It would be a blessing if sexuality was made safer, and more readly available so that it does not consume so much of a young persons consciousness. People would become naturally more emotionally mature. Sexual selection is the function of the female however, at least where it is not taken out of their physical control. More women should be aware of this as part of their education. Women have a power here which can effect transformation in society, they have begun doing so in earnest just in the last forty years, it is at the same time a civilizing force, and it is right in line with nature. |
When we are the results of nature, and the products of culture it is difficult to distinguish between the two as to effects or causes. I don't mean here that the discussion has no merit, simply that the sexual urge can be easily perverted on the one hand, and that if there were no one to tell a youth the meaning of develping sexuality, they would not get it. And I say this upon having read some pretty good evidence that babies are born with a sexual consciousness of sorts, with daughters usually more drawn to their fathers, and sons more drawn to their mothers. You know, that given the unique circumstances of life for barbaric native Americans, surrounded by enemies and with community being the center of existence, that little boys or girls showed their own preference of sexual identity, which because of community caused absolutly no upset what so ever. If a girl wanted to play with a bow, they gave it to her, of if the boy wanted to wear an apron they let him. The only recrimination in the matter fell on the man who took up with a man because it was thought he lacked ambition, and wanted a wife who would both hunt for him and cook dinner. There are environmental factors which affect sexual development and consciousness, and those people who judge others on the basis of a sexual consciousness innate to them are themselves in need of judgement. Homosexual orientation is unnatural for any without the orientation, and that is the end of it. People who want to change the homosexual should try to change themselves and see how easy it is.
