Why is Homophobia Irrational? - Philosophy Tube

Описание: Are there any good arguments against homosexuality?
Ethics Playlist:    • ETHICS  

ADDENDUM: As Matthew Simmermon-Gomes has pointed out below, 'natura nos docet' actually has a much more religious meaning that what I defined it as here. It would actually fall under the religious arguments section, and the argument from being unnatural can stand without it. This was my fault, I apologise for my gross abuse of the Latin.

Study suggesting intrauterine hormone exposure can determine sexuality: http://www.karger.com/Article/Abstrac...
Study suggesting that the number of older brothers a man has affect his chances of being homosexual because of H-Y antigens in the intrauterine environment: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/...

If you type 'homosexuality chosen or not' into Google you'll get lots more results. I didn't include more because I'm not sure how many studies people will have access to; I get to see them through my university but your circumstances might be different.

If anybody is interested in how genetic determination works and the extent to which genes/environment affect you I can recommend the book 'Genome' by Matt Ridley. A little dated in placed but still very easy reading and fascinating stuff.
If anybody has any more studies or data to share, do!
