Is Sexual Orientation A Choice?

[Noomi]

explain bisexuals then

They don't choose - they are simply attracted to both sexes.

We choose who to go to bed with, we don't choose who we are attracted to.

So you could choose to have sex with a woman you are not attracted to?

Of course - but why would anyone have sex with someone they are not attracted to? Unless they were a sex worker.

^^^ I believe that it is a choice. Why would the Lord have a person go against his own word?

God bless you always!!!

No one would choose to be discriminated against. Mathew Shepard didn't chose to be bashed to death, did he?

^^^ What other people decide to do with others is all on those who decide to do it, so whoever did that to that person that you named is at fault for what they decided to do.

God bless you always!!!

That was someone else's choice...

... and a poor one at that.

sex is a primal drive and insisting peopel not engage in sex is stupid and useless practice.

Look what its done to the catholic church.

caused nothing but problems

God Lord TDM, are you always this fucking clueless? That's a rhetorical question, so don't bother answering. Where in this thread is anyone insisting people not engage in sex. If you're going to waste bandwidth, at least understand the topic of the thread you're posting in. Geez!

In the post immediately before his, KWC.

Perhaps he should have quoted it, so you wouldn't get confused?

Perhaps you owe him an apology?

But did God make Mathew Shepard gay, or did he choose to be gay, and thus choose the horrific nature of his death?

So heterosexuals never died horrific deaths? No man ever walked in on his wife in bed with another man and pummeled the crap out him? I mean, God made her a hetero so she couldn't help it!

 

[Gagafritz]

So, saying "God made them that way" means what exactly? God made Ted Bundy didn't he? Was he "made that way"? So what if he was? We can all choose to act on morality or choose to disregard it can't we? The point of being a human being is that we DON'T have to act only on our animal nature .

Is falling in love a choice?

That person chose the kind of life that he wanted to live and someone else chose when, how, and why his life came to an end.

God bless you always!!!

Shephard was not breaking any laws.
His sexual orientation may or may not be under his control....but why should it matter?

Is falling in love a choice?

Real love?

Yes, and a whole lot of hard work.

Really? Do you say...I think I will love this one and not that one
or are you attracted to one person vs another

People are attracted to many others. Those who the choose to love, are cultivated.

A one night stand, while they can be fun, is not love.

Even if his chosen lifestyle isn't against the law, its still against the word of the Lord which I believe is the final word.

So tell me, why would someone choose a lifestyle that may make them a pariah in their community, endangering their own lives and be unable to marry the one they love? If someone can just simply choose, why choose the vastly more difficult path?

Suicides are more prevalent among my community then straight people, because of the hell we endure from the rest of society. Why choose it?

Love is not always a choice. It can be the most beautiful pain in the world.

Of course, it's an easy answer: it's not a choice. They were either born that way or became that way. Either way, be it nature or nurture, it's not a choice.

^^^ I believe that it is a choice because the Lord would have a person be something that would go against his own word.

God bless you always!!!

P.S. We were placed on this planet to replenish it and since only a man and woman can do that, why would the Lord have certain people go for those of their own gender?
