I didn't ask you a question.......
And no you don't. You just think you have the stats and you'll post something from some other twisted, like-minded source to "back it up."
And if homosexuals know "deep down that their behavior is repulsive," as you say -- then that also hurts your argument. Because it then follows no one would CHOOSE that lifestyle. And they don't because THEY ARE BORN THAT WAY.
And it's similar to my neighbor with the fat ass whose teen daughter now has developed two cannonballs behind her as well. Or my dad with his oily hair and my oily hair. Or my mom putting her dentist's kids through college and me now doing the same for a different dentist's children with our rotten teeth.
As far as your claims of, "promiscuity,
drug abuse, violence, over-eating..." gee, that stuff is rare among "NORMAL" people, isn't it.
Get off your high horse and quit preaching your anti-gay, "my way or the highway" religious BS in every corner of this forum.
No, I will not.
Actually my statistics are all very well documented from respected institutions, thank you very much.
Funny how when a person "discovers" they are gay late in life, they
were really gay all along, but when the thousands of ex-gays leave
the gay lifestyle then they are really denying their gayness.

If you weren't lying to yourself and others you would admit the truth,
which is that the so-called scientific evidence for people being born
gay or a "gay gene" is virtually non-existent.
Genetics and Claims of the immutability of homosexuality
A common argument is that an inclination to homosexuality is inborn and immutable. It is widely believed that the public will become more accepting of homosexuality if they are convinced that it is inborn and immutable. For example,
neuroscientist and homosexual Simon Levay stated: "...people who think that gays and lesbians are born that way are also more likely to support gay rights."<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference">

Research into the issue of the origins of homosexuality suggests that adoptive brothers are more likely to both be homosexuals than the biological brothers, who share half their
genes which suggests that homosexuality is not genetically caused. <sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference">

[5]</sup><sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference">
[6]</sup> This data prompted the journal
Science to report "this . . . suggests that there is no genetic component, but rather an environmental component shared in families".<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference">

[9]</sup> However, in regards to
psychosocial and biological theories in regards to the origin of homosexuality,
Columbia University psychiatry professors Drs. William Byrne and Bruce Parsons stated in 1994: "There is no evidence that at present to substantiate a
biological theory. [T]he appeal of current biological explanations for sexual orientation may derive more from dissatisfaction with the present status of psychosocial explanations than from a substantiating body of experimental data".<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference">

Dr. Tahir I. Jaz, M.D., Winnipeg, Canada states: "The increasing claims of being "
born that way" parallels the rising political activism of homosexual organizations, who politicize the issue of homosexual origins. In the 1970s, approximately ten percent of homosexuals claimed to be "born homosexual" according to a large scale survey....However, in a survey in the 1980s, with the homosexual rights movement increasingly becoming active, thirty-five percent claimed to be born that way.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference">

Failure of Experiments to Show Genetic Determinism For Homosexuality
Dr.
Dean Hamer is a researcher often cited to show that there is empirical data supporting the notion of genetic
determinism in regards to homosexuality. News organizations like
National Public Radio and
Newsweek have done news stories regarding his work.<sup id="cite_ref-40" class="reference">
[41]</sup> In respect to the press trumpeting various findings genetics-of-behavior research uncritically the science journal
Science stated the following in 1994:

chromosomal regions are associated with behavioral traits, only to withdraw their findings when they were not replicated. "Unfortunately," says Yale's [Dr. Joel]
Gelernter, "it's hard to come up with many" findings linking specific genes to complex human behaviors that have been replicated. "...All were announced with great fanfare; all were greeted unskeptically in the popular press; all are now in disrepute."<sup id="cite_ref-41" class="reference">

geneticist Dean Hamer and his team at the
National Cancer Institute had reported on a study involving 40 pairs of brothers both of whom were gay that had led them to conclude that they had discovered a factor on the X
chromosome through which gayness was genetically transmitted to them from their mothers. This was hailed as proof that homosexuality in men is biological in origin. Two years later, however, Eliot Marshall reported in
Science (June 30, 1995, p.268) George Ebers and George Rice of the
University of Western Ontario had unsuccessfully attempted to replicate Hamer's findings and had "found no evidence that gayness is passed from mother to son" genetically. He also reported that the Office of Research Integrity in the Department of Health and Human Services was investigating Hamer's work.<sup id="cite_ref-42" class="reference">
