Homosexuality a choice?

I've heard that homosexuality is a choice + born with it. Some people are chosen to be homosexual and some are born with it. So, I can't really vote accurately.

 

That's pretty invalid and should not be taken seriously. You were probably curious, a lot of people go through that curious phase so you really should not base your answer off of that.

 

It is a choice. My friend recently turned bisexual this year because he said he found men more and more attractive.

 

Volatility is different than the ability to be chosen.

 

My aunt is gay because she got beat up by past husbands and boyfriends, but I think it could go either way.

 

I don't necessarily think it's a choice, but I don't really think you're born with it either. I think there can be things in life that influence your sexuality, but nothing to make you change over night or anything.

 

Nobody is born homosexual. Homosexuality is something that develops to what YOU like. In my opinion, it isn't genetic because I have friends who're gay yet nobody in their past family has been. With saying that I believe it's solely on what your body is interested in. Everyone is different and everyone has different opinions about things and sexuality is a big topic where peoples opinions can sometimes be taken very heavily. Sexuality is dependent only on the person and if it was something that you were born with, people wouldn't be going from gay-straight or vice-versa. Hope it helps a little.

Being gay isn't by choice it's human instinct. Although it's different for girls, most lesbians act homosexual to arouse the male fantasy. There was a study done a few years ago regarding the left side of the brain being infected and causing homosexuality if I'm mistake I'm sorry.

[ Not saying I believe the study, just saying I read it ]

 

If you think it's a choice, you're an ignorant fool. Think of it this way, you see a hot girl (let's say, Megan Fox). Can you MAKE yourself think she's not hot? No...you're body will tell you she's hot no matter what.

 

Not necessarily. Not everyone thinks Megan Fox is attractive. There are people who are attracted to "bigger" women, some who are attracted to tall women, short women, etc etc. Homosexuality is a bit more complex.

 

You don't get my point. I mean if you're attracted to someone, you can't make yourself unattracted to them just because you simply choose to.

 

As most people say, it's a genetic brain determined charachteristic, no choice involved.

 

You're right, you can't just randomly choose to stop being attracted to someone, but there are factors on which could make your attraction to someone fade. For example, a lot of guys could have slept with said person, therefore making that person less attractive. This is not the case when it comes to homosexuality.

 

Humans are not born with any inherent programming. You make your own decisions, and therefore you choose to want to have sex with members of your own gender.

 

Actually yes...humans are born with inherent programming. They're called GENES. Hormones lay dormant until you hit puberty which happens to be when people notice they're gay.

 

I found this on google, maybe it will be of interest to some of you.

 

If it's true that they were born that way then why are gay's constantly fighting for equal rights? They're people just like us, why can't they get married? Oh that's right, because of religion. Fuck religion.

 

Yup lol.

 

Marriage is based off tradition and that is why it's so controversial for a gay couple to get married because they're breaking a strong tradition that's been this way for years. It's mostly the older crowd who believe in marriage between a man and a women, and only between a man and a women. The younger generation are more free spirited and have less judgement. Religion plays a role, but it's not the whole story.

Not everyone who believes in a deity is this biased, it really just depends on who you're talking to and how they were raised and what they were taught to believe in while growing up.

 

I have 5 gay male friends. Four of them say it is not a choice, these four have had girlfriends and sex with women. They ended up realizing they has no attraction towards the opposite sex and all say they wish everyday they were straight as it would have been much easier. The fifth gay friends whole family is gay (his mom is a lesbian, his dad is gay, they wanted a child and so they "toughed it out" for a night) anyway, he says he decided to be gay because of his environment.

Also, to the person who was quoted above, I am religious and believe in gay rights and gay marriage. I think the person who replied was correct and a lot of it depends on the generation. I am 23.
