why does some gay people beleive they were born gay.?

Question

Just like accepting jesus as your savior, IT'S A FREE CHOICE!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Answer 1

No, it isn't a choice at all. Life would be a LOT easier if I could CHOOSE to be heterosexual. My only choice is to abstain or not to abstain. Just like dyeing your hair a different color, sorry, but you'll always be whatever natural colour you are, whether or not you try to cover it up/bleach it out.

Answer 2

I would like to point out one detail everybody is missing there are more single women on the face of this earth than single men. so even if they would all pair up we would run out of men at some point and have millions of lesbians anyway. on the other hand , I guess there are some people that go through their entire lives and never have sex with anyone. I don't know the science behind any of this either. there are some gay guys that have to be born that way because they are so fem now woman would ever want to marry them anyway. and there are some women who are so butch that very few men would be into them anyway. I don't see what the big deal is anyway, I've heard some christians say jesus chose them, jesus saved them, they have no hand in their fate it's all in the lords hands. so you take that statement and apply it to gay people, I guess maybe we were born gay. I am gay but at one point I dated women I thought I was happy , but I wasn't I was miserable I thought about being with guys all the time, I would rather be happy than conform to soceity's standards and die younger and miserable. but that's just me.

Answer 3

Let me ask - do you find members of the same sex to be erotically attractive? If your answer is no - do you think it is your choice that you don't? That you can choose to find them one way or another.

Why would anyone choose a life where you are ridiculed and given less rights than other human beings.

And those of you who are religious - isn't God the only one who can judge? Religion is a joke, something that the scared hide behind when there is nothing left. I think it is funny when people claim that one religion is better when it was their parents who got them to follow a certain religion to begin with (in most cases).

Those who are ague against homosexuality are like those who were against the blacks having rights, women getting rights (because the bible says women should succumb to men). You are ignorant hateful people. For so many who preach love thy brother and God is the ultimate judge - stop being a hypocrite and practice what you preach.

Answer 4

No, sorry, I don't plan on accepting Jesus as my savior. I'm pretty sure he was just as normal as the rest of us. There is no God, Jesus was an average person. As for my sexual orientation, I wasn't born this way. But it's not a choice either.

Answer 5

Homosexuals argue that they did not make a conscious decision to be that way, so it must be natural. They are born that way—just as all of us are born with a sin nature and sinful desires (Ephesians 2:1– ). Tell them that it is natural for them, and for all of us, to be tempted to do things that God says are wrong. In the same way, pedophiles and adulterers (alcoholics, drug addicts, etc.) don’t make a conscious decision to "choose" that self-destructive lifestyle, they simply give in to their sinful desires. However, although sin is natural for unbelievers, that doesn’t mean God wants them to remain that way. God can set them free from their sinful nature (Romans 7:23–8:2), give them new desires (Ephesians 4:22–24), and help them withstand temptations (1 Corinthians 10:13). See 1 Corinthians 6:9– 1 footnote.

Answer 6

Seriously, what difference does it make (to you, to the gay person, to society) if it's a choice or not? Really, really think about that question.

For that matter, how does it affect your ability to live your live life if a person a few states away that you have never met is gay?

People... seriously... mind your own business, live your life, and let others do the same.

Answer 7

If people have such free will, then you could easily choose to be gay. Do you really think it would be an easy choice for you? Or do you think, perhaps, that you just know you're straight and it's not a choice.

Of course, I don't think you really have a question. You're trying to tell others how to live their lives.

Answer 8

Oh ya!! Who wouldn't want to be mocked, teased, ridiculed, disowned sometimes, beaten up sometimes, murderred sometimes, raped sometimes, all for that choice? Told by people who don't even know you that you are going to "burn in hell" if you don't seek God and repent for your sins? Who wouldn't want to be classified by ignorant fools with rapists and child molestors? Who wouldn't want to be blamed for AIDS? Who wouldn't want to be apart of a group that has to fight for it's right to marry and adopt children and be treated has a legitimate spouse after several years in a monogamous relaitionship? Aren't these the things any intelliegent human being would choose?

get serious for a minute...who would WANT that? And it's not indicative of homosexuals to choose a hard life or make bad decisions, many have chosen to educate themselves very much and live very average, structured, normal lives.

Furthermore, you as a straight person, knows how it feels to be strongly attratced to a person of the opposite gender, could you honestly force yourself to be intimate with the same sex REPEATEDLY. If you say "no" then how or why would anyone else do it? That must tell you that there is and ATTRACTION to the same sex. And if you are naturally attracted to the opposite sex, from birth, by GOD, why isn't someone else's attraction also from birth by GOD. Furthermore, how can you be so arrogant as to say what God did or did not create? When is the last time you had dinner with God?

People created religon, which is why there are as many choices in religon as their are in clothing brands. They created them to suit their personal needs.
Religon is a choice, sexuality is part of nature

Answer 9

I have never, ever, interested to the opposite sex. I guess I don't have any willing to change it anyway. I'm comfortable in what I am right now. Besides, I think it's kinda too late for me to change it anyway (I'm 21); things might be different if I was still 12 or 13. I'm 100% conscious about my sexuality and I am proud to be like that.

Answer 10

You think people would actually choose to become gay?

Just some of the scientific evidence that homosexuality is genetic:
"In 1991, a neuroscientist in San Diego named Simon LeVay told the world he had found a key difference between the brains of homosexual and heterosexual men he studied. LeVay showed that a tiny clump of neurons of the anterior hypothalamus - which is believed to control sexual behavior - was, on average, more than twice the size in heterosexual men as in homosexual men."
"Later that same year, Boston University psychiatrist Richard Pillard and Northwestern University psychologist J. Michael Bailey announced the results of their study of male twins. They found that, in identical twins, if one twin was gay, the other had about a 50 percent chance of also being gay. For fraternal twins, the rate was about 20 percent. Because identical twins share their entire genetic makeup while fraternal twins share about half, genes were believed to explain the difference."
"Dean Hamer, a Harvard-trained researcher at the National Cancer Institute, found that gay brothers shared a specific region of the X chromosome, called Xq28, at a higher rate than gay men shared with their straight brothers. Hamer and others suggested this finding would eventually transform our understanding of sexual orientation."
"In May, Swedish researchers reported finding important differences in how the brains of straight men and gay men responded to two compounds suspected of being pheromones - those scent-related chemicals that are key to sexual arousal in animals. The first compound came from women's urine, the second from male sweat. Brain scans showed that when straight men smelled the female urine compound, their hypothalamus lit up. That didn't happen with gay men. Instead, their hypothalamus lit up when they smelled the male-sweat compound, which was the same way straight women had responded."
"The cases of children born with disorders of "sexual differentiation" offer insight. William Reiner, a psychiatrist and urologist with the University of Oklahoma, has evaluated more than a hundred of these cases. Exposure to male hormones in utero dramatically raises the chances of being sexually attracted to females," Reiner says. "We can infer that the absence of male hormone exposure may have something to do with attraction to males."
