Homsexuals born that way or turned that way through their life experiences?

Homosexuality does it come into effect when the child is born?, or is it through life experience they have turned that way?

Beinga homosexual i believe we are born that way. I remember feeling attracted to guys from an early age.

I think your born that way.

Well, this looks like a fun thr.... *sprints out of thread*FragStains

I say its nurture.....

I support gays in all ways, shapes, and forms, but I believe its entirely nurture. I dont think people are born straight or gay Its all about the enviroment they are raised in.

My guess is that it can be either/or. I think probably some are born with their mind wired that way. In other instances, I can see how it's possible that certain events in someone's life (probably during younger years) could cause them to become homosexual, when otherwise they might not be. Just a guess.

Does it matter?

Because every brain is different. Presented with the same enviroment people might perceive it differently. Also, the enviroment cant be exactly the same of any two people unless its done in a scientific setting.

Born that way like some animals..gene defect (or not) prob good now that we need population control i hope it is more prominant

I think it's a little bit of both/depends on the case.

How you percieve it could be at least partly because of your orientation.

So basically, was it the egg, or the chicken?

Yeah id say its both as well. Ive seen people who can swear theyve felt that way their whole life and ive also met people who link it to events in their lives. I think everyone has seen the female turned lesbian because she's tired of dealing with men at one point time. So its def a mix and of course everything in between.

It's already been scientifically proven that gay people do not choose to be gay There's been a series of detailed scientific studies that prove this. Even then, using logical thinking, being gay disadvantages people in society. They'll be discriminated against, treated differently and perhaps even killed for simply being gay so it would make no sense for someone to choose to be gay as there is really no advantage to it.michaelP4

Being raised in an enviroment that led them to their sexual orientation doesn't mean that they simply chose to be gay I dont' think anyone here is saying that being gay is just a simple decision that someone makes.

I was born straight, so I can only assume that gay dudes are born gaythegerg

Pretty much this, i don't think there is a formula to turn gay.

Watch alot of oprah

Maybe a bit of both, some people are born that way and some people choose it based on the enviroment they are in. Isn't prison proof of this? Where most of the men who rape other men in prison gay before going in?

But, is she really a lesbian then? i don't think so, she is just choosing to be one, so it doesn't mean she really feel it.

I believe that it dosn't really matter either way.markop2003

Havn't you been paying attention to Lady Gaga? If she says they're," Born this way" then it must be true. She is they're leader after all. :P

What's with all the curiosity on homosexuality on these forums?

I believe born, because I remember a point in my life due to constant rejection by females, I wanted to be gay....but, that didn't turn out too well as soon as I saw the naked males body my member turned to silly putty.

I say born, but, doesn't matter.

Does it really matter.

Let people be who ever they wish to be.

And in before lock

homosexuality is not a disease if it's genetic, it's just one of the many traits that make up human beings. to a degree, what we are is determined by genes, no way around it. homosexuality is not inherently harmful, seeing as homosexuals have the exact same mental competence as everyone else.

It could very well be both nature and nurture...

Top secret liberal gay rays as part of a vast homosexual conspiracy to turn everyone gay Even the teletubbies are in on it. And that's why god hates America and allowed 9/11 to happen.

I encourage all men to be Gay!!

More women for meee!!!!

..or not

FOREEEEEEEEEEVEER ALOOOOOONE!

there are certain periods in history that had spikes in homosexuality. which leads me to believe that it's at least possible to influence someones sexuality with enviroment. but there might as well be genetic reasons. we just dont know yet.lloveLamp

Being a homosexual, I don't care; it's immutable either way.Theokhoth

People are born that way. I have an older relative who is gay and he was secretly gay back as early as the 1960's. He grew up, and lived most of his life in a middle class, family values suburbs. Not exactly the haven of gay culture that would give him homosexual experiences.
