This is one of those issues I mentioned where Howard Dean and I diametrically disagree, and where I have to question the man's intelligence.

First, there is no such thing as "overwhelming evidence is that there is a very significant, substantial genetic component to it.", "It" being homosexuality, and Dean, you idiot, God not only considers it sin, but also an abomination (IN WRITING) so obviously, God didn't create gay men or women.

Damn, read the book, will ya?

Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood [shall be] upon them.

I don't understand why people mistake homosexuality for anything but what it is: A sexual fetish that is no different than when certain people want to have sex with animals, little children or vacuum cleaners. Some people have a sexual fetish for tractors and volkswagon bugs, did you know that? No, I'm not kidding. Seriously, when I was in Bangkok back in the early 70's, I witnessed people who were into some of the most bizarre sexual practices imaginable, and not one of them ever suggested they were born that way. Whatever floats your boat, that's your fetish, and gay men like having sex with men. It's as simple as that, so get over it.

And Howard, if you want to get elected, stay on topic and don't let these people divert you into tangents like this. You have nothing to gain, and everything to lose, and all you have to say is you felt it was the right decision at the time. Period.
