We live in a time where truthtellers are being bullied and overwhelmed by nothing more than inspired, wishful thinking. For too long, the subject of sexual orientation having the exact genetic origins as race has gone unchecked but not today. The final straw should have been a long time ago, but with attempts to merge the civil rights and gay rights movements, now it is time to speak up. This writing is in no way an attack on the gay community or an attempt to diminish what the movement is trying to do.

Instead, this blog serves the purpose of clearing up what is, at times are misunderstandings and, at other times, propaganda to push the gay rights agenda through. The gay rights agenda does need a home, but it needs its own home. Attempts to hijack civil rights offer support to unfounded claims by gay rights activists. As a doctor who has received formal education concerning human personality and sexuality, it would be dishonest not to bring to the forefront what man really knows about human sexuality.

Unlike race, there are no genetic markers that predetermine what an individual’s sexual orientation will be before birth. At best, similar to temperament, some research suggests that individuals are more likely to develop a particular sexual orientation based on environmental conditions. Basically, the most influential single predictor for sexual orientation is how individuals adapt to their environment. Distinguishing this fact is crucial because it eliminates individuals’ unsubstantiated claims, such as I was born this way.

Individuals are born with predetermined gender, race, temperament, and physical characteristics. However, no research supports sexual orientation as one of those characteristics, which supports why gay rights need to remain separate and no longer receive comparisons to race, which is 100% genetically determined. The comparison is dishonest and manipulates individuals who do not know the scientific literature into feeling obligated to yield to the gay rights agenda.

Equality is essential but should not be gained by spreading falsehoods. Although this opinion may be controversial, the truth is that the gay rights movement is primarily a high emotionally driven movement inspired more by individual values systems than anything scientific. The feelings, desires, and emotions are real, but they are just that. The group does not deserve to encounter discrimination for their perceived rights. I say perceived because the United States does not run the world. There are more cultures than I can count that have opinions regarding the matter. Most importantly, the science to equate race to sexuality is not there.

Race is a stable characteristic. From a genetic standpoint, race cannot be altered or changed in any way. Race precedes any conscious awareness and has no natural disguise. As evidenced by the complex nature of human sexual practices, sexual orientation is not entirely stable. Individuals can claim one orientation one day and another direction the next. Race also inescapably categorizes individuals. Once the birth certificate is filled out, the category sticks, and individuals cannot distance themselves from their race for acceptance or economic gain.

Refusal to separate an attribute such as race, which is backed by science, from highly political descriptions and supercharged emotional displays regarding sexual orientations impedes the rights of the individuals the civil rights movement intends to protect. Squeezing in gay rights in the civil rights movement can make it easier to deny Blacks their rights further. Many gays are White males and are not exempt from the White male privilege experienced by heterosexual males. Furthermore, one cannot say with absolute certainty that gay males will not conceal their sexual orientations for social or economic gain, which is something Blacks cannot do.
