Couldn't this be explained by bisexuality. No one denies that for some
people they are attrached to both sexes. With images of both of the
extremes of heterosexuality and homosexuality, its no wonder some people
can be confused. Actually some believe that most people don't belong to
either extreme. As for the nature of homosexuality, its probably not as
simple as reducing it to biology. Just like hair color, although it has a
biological component, there are many environmental conditions that can
change the hair color.

I agree here. But homosexuality is not malicious in nature so it seems
that if it doesn't hurt other people, it shouldn't be our place to judge
it. That would be God's place.

Its been your turn all along. You always have the right to express your
opinions. Just not to dominate and then run away crying when someone has
an objection to it. Most of the issues you've brought up in this email
have been addressed many times and because you don't get answers you want
you keep bringing them up. So I'm not going to respond to things I've
already responded to from now on.
