From Pawel Krezemienicki re the choice to be homosexual.I was very interested in Fr. Alphonse de Valk's article 'Same-sex "marriage" verdict' (C.I., Sept. 2003, pp.11-15). What I am concerned the most about is the example of Mr. Simon LaVay and the fact that there is no scientific evidence that homosexuals are born that way. On page 14 of the article, the author provides a website address: www.cprmd.org/ Myths/MYTHS_PAGE.htm. This web site is to contain eight pages of Mr. LaVay's and other people's failure to provide scientific evidence that homosexuals are born that way. The problem is that the link does not exist. It is of great importance to me to receive the eight-page info so that I can enlighten en·light·en tr.v. en·light·ened, en·light·en·ing, en·light·ens 1. To give spiritual or intellectual insight to: others. Please send me the correct website address or any information relating to relating to relate prep → concernant relating to relate prep → bezüglich +gen, mit Bezug auf +acc this topic. Thank you.
