I read an opinion from a YCT-trained rabbi which argued that sexually-active homosexuals should be considered innocent, since their actions ought to be patur under “ones rachmama patrei.”
If an allowance is made for this, and on the basis of neurological proclivity, than why not excuse pedophiles, murderers, drug addicts, etc. whose pathology is correlationally-linked with neurological anomalies? Where do we draw the line with people claiming that biology excuses a lack or absence of moral judgment? Rationality and morality are what separate us from beasts.
