12. I don't think homosexuality is a cultural creation..
Edited on Thu Apr-07-11 01:53 PM by hlthe2b
I absolutely believe it to be a natural phenomenon. However, I do think we are still learning (and have a lot to learn) about how homosexuality was integrated into many cultures.

That said, the archeologist himself has proposed this as a probable explanation for the finding and not as a "conclusion." It will be debated by others in the field and anthropologists as more data is collected. That is how science works. A similar debate goes on about the role of women in various cultures. I don't take offense at those who hold a hypothesis on historical findings with which I disagree. I simply argue based on the strength of the evidence and consistency of findings (and expert opinions) that would counter that alternate hypothesis. :shrug:
