Fuzzy bears!
^those people didn't choose to be gay. They choose to have sex with people of the same sex, but they didn't choose their orientation. No one does. Anyone who suggests otherwise is an idiot.
Prove it with hard scientific data or admit that that you cannot prove it because you have no conclusive evidence.
Please note, if people saying something counts as hard evidence I can prove God exists and that miracles occur everyday. All I am asking is that you apply the same standards to claims about choice, or the lack thereof, that you do to the existence of God.
I don't need to prove it. I am proof and you are proof - you never chose your attraction to women, did you? It was something that was always there, that came naturally. Same with genuine homosexuals. Their orientation is as much a part of them as their hair or eye color.
Are you saying that people who say they have chosen their sexual orientation are lying? I'm trying to understand what you mean by 'genuine homosexuals'.
If there ARE people who have chosen their orientation, or if there ARE people who's orientation has changed during their lives without conscious choice, what are they?
What makes the idea that environmental factors might play a part in orientation so impossible to accept? I can understand that a conscious choice to change orientation seems difficult, at best. But we change many of our tastes and desires over the course of our lives. Within the same orientation a person may have a great degree of change in a lifetime. Why not a shift to a different orientation?
