Beyond 'Born That Way': Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse on Choice, Social Pressure, and Identity part 2

View descriptionShare
 

Is the debate over human sexuality as simple as "born that way" versus personal choice, or does the modern obsession with identity politics obscure a much richer, multi-faceted reality? On Driving Home the Faith, host Dr. Ken Craycraft welcomes back Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, founder and president of the Ruth Institute, to continue their discussion on personal identity, social science, and cultural trends.

Dr. Roback Morse argues that framing same-sex attraction strictly as a binary choice between genetics and personal desire is a false dichotomy that ignores the complex web of contributing factors, free will, and human experience. She examines recent shifts in cultural data—including drops in youth identifying with LGBTQ+ trends—analyzing the impact of social pressure, identity politics, and victim-status narratives on teenagers. Plus, drawing on her background as an economist, Dr. Roback Morse addresses how ideological shifts within higher education and academic institutions have compromised objective social science.
