Do you think people are born gay?

Answer 1

Do you think that people would choose to be hated? Yes they are born that way.

Answer 2

I'm sure there are people who experiment in their sexuality just for the novelty of it but a truly gay person is born that way.

I work in the art field and know a number of great gay designers (all designers are not gay). And I've asked my gay friends at what point in their lives did they realize they were different. All have said that their earliest memories indicated that they were different from their companions. They thought differently about, climbing trees, squashing bugs, chasing stray dog, what-ever. As they grew up they had a greater awareness of the differences. And of course, many learned early to hide those feelings. And usually there was no one they could talk to about it.

Science has evidence that gay children are born in greater number when the mothers are under stress during her pregnancy. So possibly there is a greater or lessor harmone or chemical that the fetus is subjected to or deprived of that can influence sexual preference.

I think that eventually with all the DNA research going on, that eventually science will pin-point what causes this prefernce.

But I do know that my gay friends in all cases are great people and certainly deserve more respect than they receive.

Answer 3

I think people are not born being anything. They're babies, blank memory cards, and society keeps saving more and more files in them every second. Babies start to learn how they're supposed to behave based on the fact they are given.
You give them a function and they just comply with it: "If you are a guy, you like girls" is one very possible one.
Then they get more complicated notions, like "If you are superior, you are original and different from everyone else". And "If you are different, you will not like the same as others do", etc.
I think you get the point.
There's no such thing as people being born racist, gay, amiable, stubborn or anything else. Personalities are drawn from every situation that is given and that's all.
If the human brain could not learn, i.e. if from the beginning it just couldn't be changed and it was stuck knowing and thinking what it knows and thinks already and nothing more, you wouldn't have a working brain there. It would stay blank and wouldn't do anything.
Maybe there's something in someone's DNA that makes them more susceptible to certain impressions, just like some cameras react better to certain colors or certain amount of light, but in the end we're just what we learn, see and live.
There's no such thing as one sculpture being born a girl and another one a guy. There's just the stone and the artist, the tools and the factors.

Answer 4

I think it depends on a lot of factors. I attend a woman's college and there are so many girls who come here completely straight, and go on to have girlfriends and even marry women later in life. Because the environment they are living is so accepting of homosexuality, I think more people are able to open their minds and love another individual because of their personality and not just because of their gender. At the same time, I know many people who have known from the time they were very little that they were attracted to their same sex. Often these people try to/have tried to suppress homosexuality in themselves because they are trying to adhere to societal norms or thier family's expectations, but doing this is like denying their own identity. So are these people born gay? Or is their homosexuality a product of the way they raised? I don't think there's any way we can really know. Only the future will tell.

Answer 5

People are not born gay. This is what many people believe and teach as a way of justifying their behavior. They feel as though they were born that way and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Saying: "God made us that way so it is OK". This is a cop-out and does not accept responsibility for decisions and actions. Some may have more masculine or effeminate traits than others but this does not make them "gay". It is the lifestyle and the things men or women do sexually with each other that makes them "gay". While I do not believe in persecuting gays I do not condone nor do I embrace their lifestyle and choice to be gay anymore than I would accept a swingers lifestyle. We are responsible for our choices and our actions in life and ultimately we will have to answer for them to the Almighty. All people have to examine their lives and see what there is that would not please God and turn from it. God sees all things and he does not see things the way you or I do. He sees things as they truly are with no rose-colored glasses or sugar coating. He sees the truth and knows your heart. His Word sets forth the rules for us to follow in life and we cannot simply decide we know better. Still, each person has the right to make his or her own choice be it for obedience to eternal life or disobedience to condemnation. For in depth discussion of this topic read the the book of Romans in The Holy Bible.

Answer 6

I truly believe that guys do not have a choice in being gay or not. If they are gay, they are definitely born that way. Girls on the other hand are a little different, in my opinion. All of the girls that I know that are gay were hurt by a guy sometime in there life.

Answer 7

I was. As early as I can remember I knew I like guys. I think that for the majority, people are born gay or straight.

Although there are people who have a bad experience, ie; rape abuse or the like, that feel they are not loved by the oppisite sex and then they end up having a friend that is JUST THAT, a friend, and they mistake their feelings for homosexual feelings. (Those are the people that religion is saying they have converted back to heterosexuality. Real gays, (born gays), can't be converted!

Answer 8

I don't think. I know. Studies show that it's an identifiable biological trait. And as a gay woman, I know how I felt as a child. I remember being made to feel wrong and deviant even before I knew what the word meant. I was born a gay woman. Society taught me to repress that for as long as I could. Social stigma contributed to the disease of denial. When I stopped caring what society thought, I was cured.

Answer 9

It's like asking: "are people born smokers? or Alcoholics?" We all have the propensity to develop certain behaviors, and some are more genetically inclined to go in that direction than others. You can't see it as either black or white, it's all shades of grey. Look at it this way: Are guys in prison who rape other guys all gay? Human sexuality is a lot more complex than most people realize.

Answer 10
