Gays or Lesbians... are they different from normal people just mentally or physically also?

Question

does growing into one depends on the bringing up or they are born like that? No offence. im just curious.

i meant "depend". sorry about that mistake.

Answer 1

This is called the nature vs nurture debate, and it's an ongoing thing within the sociology field. I think reasonable people will find that it's a combination of genetic/inherant dispositions and environment.

Answer 2

Do you remember when you were really young, and there was the little boy who was very feminine. Way before "sexual preference" was even thought about. You know around the age of 7 or 8, it was apparent that the little boy had female "tendancies". This leads me to believe that for the most part, BOYS are born this way. You can see it in them before they even consider "sex" in their life.

As far as lesbians are concerned, I have to assume that the same things happens to them (the REAL Lesbians). But it is much easier to hide, because a little girl acting like a tom boy is considered OK and just a phase.

Then there is the group of young people now that simply want to EXPLORE sexuality and they will try anything....

I hope this helped you.

Answer 3

Gay people (both male and female) are physically no different (in general) from anyone else. I really don't know (and, I think, nor does anyone for sure) why someone becomes or turns out to be gay. I don't think it is an 'illness' in the sense that it can be 'cured', nor do I think it has any bearing whatsoever on the mental health of a person, except that being 'different' and being told that you are not human (or whatever) is not exactly a confidence builder for anyone.

In fact, none of us are completely male or completely female. Every male has a feminine side and every female has some masculinity. What happens in the psyche is very complicated and always involves a balance of our self-image with the way we perceive and prefer one person over another. Whether it's genetic or due to our upbringing or environment or a difference in body chemistry is very hard to say. I believe it has been studied and there is no conclusive proof on any count.

A person's sexuality is NO grounds for discrimination in any area except where it actually involves sex. It makes them no less worthy or able to contribute fully to society than anyone else, in fact, it is noticable that (perhaps because they understand what it is to be hurt by society) gay people are often more caring and active in redressing wrongs than many others.

For those people who are answering this question by saying that being gay is morally wrong, perverted and against the teachings of the Bible, I would simply say this. I notice that most people with this attitude consider themselves religious and devout Christians, so it is worth pointing out that Jesus taught us to ‘love your neighbour as yourself’ and not to judge others lest we ourselves should be judged. He also associated with people who were considered sinners and outcasts of society without judging them or having less respect for them as people than anyone else.

If someone sins and their sin does not directly hurt you, then what concern is it of yours? Can you say that the fact of someone being gay harms you in any way? The idea of it may offend or disgust you but that can only be because you are imagining, already, what it would be like for you to be gay. If you are not, you are not and it need not concern you that others are (or what they do about it).

There are plenty of other arguments I could give to show why ‘straight’ Christians should accept gay people. If you would genuinely like to know, then you can contact me and I will be glad to discuss it. For the time being, I think what I have said above will suffice. If you are a follower of Christ, then I would expect you to show it by your words and actions, not by throwing the rule book at people.

I am not gay myself, (though, like many teenagers I went through a period of experiment) so I don’t really have the benefit of experience. I hope that someone who is gay can give you a more informed answer.

Answer 4

If there is a difference, I think it's just a small chemical difference. I'm sure it varies from person to person. Take a group of random heterosexuals. Yes, they are all straight, but they are all still going to be very different. And please don't refer to heterosexuality as "normal". That IS offensive.

Homosexuality is not abnormal, it's just less common.

Answer 5

They are normal people... they're different from heterosexual people. And, like normal people, gay people have preferences, just like I have a preference for avoiding ignorant people, a gay person's preference is to be sexually oriented to members of their same sex

Answer 6

There are a few schools of thought

1. they were born like it.
2. they were made from their socio upbringing
3. they are just perverts.


No one knows, so you should not judge, as no one knows

Answer 7

its just like your asking yourself whether your sister and or brother is different from you.
