Cross dressing and other public displays of homosexual tendencies were accepted in the medical community as signs of mental illness, or worse, insanity.  After all, not being able to control ones self in a social setting to the expected norms of society is a standard measure of one’s mental capacity.  However, in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s open homosexuality has been forced into more and more of our lives under a new concept…we were born that way.  While junk science that falsely suggested the existence of a “Gay Gene” has long since been debunked, the idea that a person is born with a “Predisposition” is completely possible. 

I, for one, can understand this concept, as I too was born with several predispositions.  These predispositions have been know for decades and are widely accepted within the medical community.  One is well know to be hereditary, and is far more common than homosexual tendencies; the other is a bit rarer. 

I am tired of people not being able to ask me if I’m dyslexic, and tired of not being able to tell people about my problem.  I feel the “Don’t ask, Don’t tell” model is wrong.  I feel that I should be allowed to express my mind and impose the way it works on you, with your complete acceptance of the lifestyle it was intended to live out. 

Dyslexuals should be free from those outdated social burdens of reading and writing!   As such, how can I pay taxes?  After all, I can’t read an IRS form, let alone fill in the blanks or sign to it.  You can't take me to court, for they are based on laws and contracts that have no meaning to me.  Many people, just like me, are forced to conform to your oppressive ways and after a lifetime of abuse, it’s time you accept my lifestyle and conform to it.  We will be silent no more!

al·co·hol·ism disorder marked by excessive and usually compulsive drinking of alcohol

Disposition #2 -> Alcoholism – Sure alcohol is all around us, it is as much a part of our society as reading and writing.  In fact some law makers do more drinking than the other two as a standing rule.  I’m wired to be intoxicated to an extreme level and this strong urge is with me every waking hour of every day.  It has been medically proven that cravings for alcohol far exceed any sexual desire.  Yet I have overcome this disposition to live my life in a drunken haze, in order to fulfill my social responsibility as well as my responsibility to my family.

Alcoholics have been literal slaves in this country for decades; bombarded with advertisements and references in every form of media.  They pay far more than anyone else in taxes on the alcohol they consume, not to mention the tobacco products many enjoy as part of their lifestyle.  Here is a group of people who don’t even have the luxury of a “Don’t ask Don’t Tell” policy to live by…take a look at the growing number of DUI check points.  It’s not fair to continually abuse these poor people…after all they were born that way with a “predisposition” to alcoholism, and they are just living their lives as their bodies are telling them to.  What's wrong with that?  Sure they may kill a few people now and then, but it’s not fair to tell them to keep their lifestyles in their own homes any more than it is to tell the same to Dyslexuals, Homosexuals or Transvestites!

We all have something that we fight, and yes some have more then others.  Scientists call these desires “predispositions”, Christians call them “demons”.   But no matter what the term, most of us have in us the ability to identify, adapt to and overcome these issues.  It is our responsibility as citizens and  human beings to do so.  When we choose not to, the outcome is always the same; we are expelled from society as it protects itself from destruction in same reflex manner as our bodies would when eating spoiled food.  Society, like our very bodies, can only protect against so much, ingest too much poison and toxicity will set in, followed by organ failure and in the end death.
