First, look at my name, and look at my previous answers. I am not gay, nor do I bash gays. We are all human.
I have always read here that being homesexual is "not a choice" and that "we are born this way". Most everyone who says that, leads one to believe that it's scientifically proven. I never thought that was true, but not being a LGBT, I was only here to learn about it, because a very good friend of mine is gay, and I wanted to learn more about them.
Anyway, I have checked with the AMA, the APA, and NARTH and have found the following. The AMA does NOT state that it is genetic or inborn. See the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons at http://www.jpands.org/vol10no3/lehrman.pdf
Also, NARTH, National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (http://www.narth.com/docs/correctionletter2.html) has seemed to say basically the same thing. I am NOT trying to stir up problems, but can someone point me to the medical or scientific proof that I missed ?
