> Who cares if it's genetics or a choice.

Society cares, that’s the point. Society cares about who you have sex with, and society cares about whether something is genetic. If society didn’t care we’d be having a different discussion.



A segment of society. Other segments of society don't care. "Society" is not a homogenous blob, it's just 7 billion individuals.


Clearly there are multiple societies, with varying cultural norms (as we can see from the range of opinions here). While you can't have societies without individuals obviously, you can only barely have individual humans without societies (and they're usually not doing too well, a few hermits and mystics notwithstanding).


> it's just 7 billion individuals

Maximum deconstruction here, and a failure to recognize patterns. I wonder where this thinking will take us?
