I refuse to believe homosexuality or any sexual orientation is genetic. Fact is, we have only double the genes of the common fruit fly, and some studies show that our personality is essentially based on our upbringing as an infant and a young child. For instance, if you are left crying for long periods of time, you will leave your children in the same manner. If you are vicious and violent, you will repay your environment with the same behaviour. You will often choose the same partner as your parents did, also - this is very common.

Nor do I believe it is a choice. You have no control over your environment when you are that young. Your parents do. This is why some behaviours are mistaken for genetic, when they are merely grinded into the personality.

However, the option for 'alternative parenting' remains, and since we are capable of homosexuality, does that automatically mean it is natural? I'm split about this.

I am a 15 year old girl and I am Bisexual. I have feelings towards to of my best friends, but a stronger feeling towards one, Colleen. Colleen is also bi and has had sex, with a girl. But I just can't stop thinking about her and what it would be like to have sex with her. Should I tell her that I like her? What should I do?

She (and 4 other friends) knows that I am Bi.

I was watching tv and an interview of Harrison Ford was shown and he was sporting an earing. I have seen guys around town in the same age group also wearing earings. I just think its a sad attempt to be cool or hold on to their youth. Yes they have the right to do so (thats not the question here), because they have the right, does that mean they should?

he's not really my bf.... not even my friend, but i don't want to loose his "friendship"... to make the story short...

I started "going out" with this guy that i really like, but nothing too formal, as his wishes... however he kept making me "test" to make sure i was "ok" for him (I wonder what for, if he's not aiming for nothing serious) and wrote me several times by xellphone text messages that the cared for me, though he never showed too much care...

this made me go into a emotional roler coaster ride... because i do care for him a lot... anyway, I've done a lot of things for him, one of them, and i don't consider the most important, is that i lent him some money, about a month ago...

anyway... most of the times that i've called him latetly, he doesn't answer. I do know he's very busy (work, graduate studies, recent father death) but for someone he supposedly cares for, I'dn't expect less than a text message. i can be anoying sometimes, by calling 3 to 4 times in a row,

Why do all of these anti gay people have to come and answer in this section? We have our own section for us to discuss these issues. Why do they have to come in here to make trouble. Can't they just stick to their own areas and leave us alone. If you hate us fine, thats your loss. But at least have the decency to leave us alone.

So I'm a man and I have sex often with this other man, and it feels really good, and we penetrate each other and kiss and everything. But it's straight sex. What's so hard to get about that?

I did it just *now*. I'm sure people at Marriage and Divorce could see my profile that says I'm same-sex married, but I'm still a bit upset at myself. I often refer to "my beloved" rather than "wife" at more "trivial" categories like NASCAR, as in "my beloved loves Kevin Harvick," just so I don't completely gum up the works with off-topic nonsense.

I asked whether we were the only ones in this situation--my girl cousin and her boy cousin are getting married soon. A lot of people we know ITRW think that's strange.

Now people there are assuming my wife's a guy, from my phrasing and avatar. I'm so embarrassed. I guess I'll have to clear it up in my answer.

Do you do that? Do you feel embarrassed, or think it's necesary to just "let people assume" sometimes?

My girlfriend and I have 2 wonderful children and are openly out. We have found that being open about who we are and what we are, people are wonderful about it. We live in a strong ,religious, country community. If you try to hide it, that is when they become a upset about it. We are trying to show others that gay and lesbian families are just like straight families. How many others on here are like us?????

heres the deal,I have never dated women and have always been with men but knew that something wasnt right.Now that I have come to terms with it,I dont feel comfortable pretending anymore and can not make myself feel any affection for a man.I was in a restaurant a few days ago and saw a girl, who was gay, and was completely taken with her. I have never felt this way about anyone, man or woman.We talked and chatted for awhile and I found out that she has a girlfriend,very serious,for the past 2 years.I am upset but at the same time I am completely amazed by her and have never felt this way.I have never been with a woman,but after realizing these feelings,am I gay?She also is giving the signs that she is wanting to get to know me much better,she is ALWAYS flirting. but she has a girlfriend so is this bad news?I cant describe the feelings i have,its like after we met,i became crazy about her.Do I leave her alone because she has a girlfriend?or continue to go with it and see/flirt with her?
