Is one born g@y or does one choose to be g@y?

I don't know if someone is born gay but I'm 110% sure it isn't a choice. Dark_Knight6

That's pretty much my answer.

It's something to do with hormones most likely, which means it isn't a choice. Gays were treated horribly in some eras; you think someone would choose to be gay even when they knew that they would have their head cut off?

If they could've chosen to be straight then you can bet your ass that they would've chosen to not be gay and that brings me back to my initial point-- it isn't a matter of choice.

I'm pretty sure its a choice. But some people don't really notice until after a drunk night. That happened to one of my sisters friends, be everyone saw it comin except him.

But, kinda like how taste buds differ from person to person, I guess different places feel better person to person.

I dunno, I've never had any homosexual tendencies. But I still think its a choice.

My question is, why would someone want to be ridiculed and even hated if they could just be hetero and have none of those issues?

:lol: perfectly suited.

Both. I don't think many people choose to be gay of course, but I believe there are some that do.

Fad homosexuality is weird.

Your not born gay i think it's determined by the way you grow up.123625

To some extent I think your right, but my 16 year old cousin is gay and ever since he was like 2 or 3 he only played with girl toys, and said he liked kissing boys when he was like 4 or 5 and every birthday he got a pink heart shaped cake and would only hang out with girls and always talked like a sterotypical gay person.. At 16 he dresses really metro-sexual get manacures (pardon spelling) and all that girly stuff.. Im pretty sure he was born gay And considering his dad is big into hunting, sports and typical heterosexual male activities and his mom was just a typical mom that didn't push femanine tendancies on him either.

Although I am pretty sure that people don't choose to be gay I do believe that specific environments and living conditions can distort the sexuality of a child as he/she grows up.

For example, a friend of mine is a lesbian. Unlike the rest of my heterosexual friends, she had a traumatic incident earlier in her life (age 6) where her 8 year older step cousin raped her. She was really depressed about it and started to segregate herself away from any males, including her own father. This, from what I believe, could've caused her sexuality to mature differently from the other girls around her.

This is just a hypothesis of mine, though. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah, but I really think many people who are gay are born that way... So many testamonials from gay people say they have always felt attractions to the same sex since they could remember and always felt different than normal people.. Also in a previous post I mentioned a show on the discovery channel that scientists found in many gay people a fluke in their geneology that caused a chemical attractiveness to the same sex. Because all sexs on a sub-concious level sense chemical pheramones that make us attracted to the opposite sex and gay peoples pheromone distiction is different that causes them to go for the same sex.

I dunno, because they arn't happy? They liked being gay more? GTA_dude

Well, I was happy before I had sexual attractions towards other men and was unhappy when I started having them. So, I'm pretty sure I didn't choose to have them.

Holy crap, how the hell does that even happen?

Subconsciously you were happier.GTA_dude

Well, I recall being pretty much just completely miserable, to be honest.

He was 8 years older than her, meaning he was about 14 years old. He told her that he was "playing a game" with her, but it was really sexual intercourse. Sad that somebody would prey off the innocence of a child...

Everything happens for a reason. But really, how could you not control having attractions to certain people? I mean, if I'm upset, I usually am just not in the mood and find no one attractive :|GTA_dude

I don't look at other guys and say "I want to find you attractive," it just happens. And what you're describing doesn't sound like any form of control, to me.

She never told them. At the time, she didn't realize that she was actually being raped, so she thought little of it. When she reached her early teenage years, she became very depressed and even attempted suicide a few times before. All the while, though, she never told her parents because she thought they either wouldn't believe her or would've blamed her for it anyways.

It's a harsh reality, but she's better now at least.

Yup, the week isn't complete for OT without a homosexuality thread, an evolution thread, a christianity vs atheism thread, and a YLYL thread.
