But doesn't that ambiguity lend itself to the argument fundamentalists make that homosexuals can be "cured?" If it's possible for you to be, say, 10 percent heterosexual, isn't it just a matter of conditioning for you to become 100 percent heterosexual? Isn't it saying that every heterosexual has the potential to be gay, and every homosexual has the potential to be straight? And doesn't that support the fundamentalists' assertions that single parent families, cross dressing at a young age, sexual abuse and cross gender play, among a litany of others, are the "causes" of homosexuality? And doesn't
that open the door for them to assert that there is no such thing as homosexuality--that without a catalyst to "cause" homosexuality, it ceases to exist?
