Is homosexuality a choice or not

[bodecea]

See post 300.

I'll accept that you are ok with those stats...like lots of hetero males are.

When did YOU choose?

Heteros are natural, no choice needed. Did you find that 'gay gene' yet?

You seem to be working from a position of expertise here.

Yep I lived in West Hollywood ( And worked with and had Gay Friends ) But I like my Chicks on the Chunky side ( and a little older )

That's nice, dear.

Then it’s not a judicial issue. Being black is genetics. Being female is genetic. Being gay or transgender is choice. Your choices do come with consequences.

There is no black gene either. The fact that there isn't a gay gene doesn't mean homosexuality is a choice it just means that sexuality is a multifaceted chemical process. That said even the choices we make have biological origins. If you stopped to think about it for a second, basically everything you do has biological origins. What other origins could they have? It's not as if angels are coming down and whispering in our ears. Making a choice involves biological processes not mythical ones. Even the choice to believe in religion belies some biological desire for the comfort or security belief brings, or a susceptibility to emotional explanations rather than objective ones.

Choose what?

Tomboy girls and sissy boys are not necessarily gay. Being gay is a choice made at puberty or later. Usually as a result of a failure with the opposite sex.

Given the amount of shit you just pulled out of your ass I’m gonna have to say that you fall pretty heavily on the gay side. Well done

That's nice, dear.

The thread is about homosexuals.

If homosexuality is a choice, then by default heterosexuality is also be a choice

 

[Blaster]

When did YOU choose?

When I got my first erection.

This is a stupid argument from stupid people. If the only proof of homosexuality not being a choice is the existence of a gay gene then by that logic heterosexuality can only be proven to not be a choice by the existence of a straight gene.

Most humans are born heterosexual as evidenced by their genitals. This is NORMAL because nature wants us to procreate. There is no procreation between same sex partners.

You have a point about sexuality being a multifaceted chemical process because we know a human being isn't fully matured until adulthood. Immature humans can be influenced against their own welfare by adult humans wishing to groom them into choosing unnatural sexual proclivities. Most young children, raised in a heterosexual family will be heterosexual. Homosexuality is probably the result of abuse, grooming or other psychological trauma, there is no 'gay gene.'

Absolutely.

 

[Failzero]

Absolutely.

Like Bisexuality

When I got my first erection.

And did you get that with thoughts of a male or a female? And could you help (stop) it?

'Straight' is genetically normal. How could you be so confused?

I might believe homosexuals are just 'born that way" if someone can explain why the high levels of homosexual activity in single sex environments like prisons

Like Bisexuality

Bisexuality isn't a choice. You are con-fusing sexual orientation with individual sexual attraction.
