Explain why people say some baby is born gay??

Question

I just can't understand that. Opposite sex attract each others. How could a baby born gay if society does not introduce gay to them. (in other words, where does gay come from---- I would only say sin) And now, more media advocates it. That makes me wonder why people insist babies can be born gay.

Answer 1

no person would choose to live the lifestyle of a homosexual. the hardships they have to face from society and groups like you. no one would want to walk out their door everyday knowing they are going to be called sinners or something else. i have a lot of gay guy friends, and none of them have choosen to live a gay lifestyle. in fact most of them chose to live a straight life style to fit in. why do you think your heterosexuality is right. what if you chose to live heterosexuality? did you wake up one day knowing you were a hetero? why must you ask them these quesitons when you don't have to answer them.

HETEROSEXUAL QUESTIONNAIRE


(©1972, Martin Rochlin, Ph.D. Reprinted with permission from the author.)

This questionnaire is for self-avowed heterosexuals only. If you are not openly heterosexual, pass it on to a friend who is. Please try to answer the questions as candidly as possible. Your responses will be held in strict confidence and your anonymity fully protected.

1. What do you think caused your heterosexuality?

2. When and how did you first decide you were a heterosexual?

3. Is it possible your heterosexuality is just a phase you may grow out of?

4. Could it be that your heterosexuality stems from a neurotic fear of others of the same sex?

5. If you’ve never slept with a person of the same sex, how can you be sure you wouldn’t prefer that?

6. To whom have you disclosed your heterosexual tendencies? How did they react?

7. Why do heterosexuals feel compelled to seduce others into their lifestyle?

8. Why do you insist on flaunting your heterosexuality? Can’t you just be what you are and keep it quiet?

9. Would you want your children to be heterosexual, knowing the problems they’d face?

10. A disproportionate majority of child molesters are heterosexual men. Do you consider it safe to expose children to heterosexual male teachers, pediatricians, priests, or scoutmasters?


11. With all the societal support for marriage, the divorce rate is spiraling. Why are there so few stable relationships among heterosexuals?

12. Why do heterosexuals place so much emphasis on sex?

13. Considering the menace of overpopulation, how could the human race survive if everyone were heterosexual?

14. Could you trust a heterosexual therapist to be objective? Don’t you fear s/he might be inclined to influence you in the direction of her/his own leanings?

15. Heterosexuals are notorious for assigning themselves and one another rigid, stereotyped sex roles. Why must you cling to such unhealthy role-playing?

16. With the sexually segregated living conditions of military life, isn’t heterosexuality incompatible with military service?

17. How can you enjoy an emotionally fulfilling experience with a person of the other sex when there are such vast differences between you? How can a man know what pleases a woman sexually or vice-versa?

18. Shouldn’t you ask your far-out straight cohorts, like skinheads and born-agains, to keep quiet? Wouldn’t that improve your image?

19. Why are heterosexuals so promiscuous?

20. Why do you attribute heterosexuality to so many famous lesbian and gay people? Is it to justify your own heterosexuality?

21. How can you hope to actualize your God-given homosexual potential if you limit yourself to exclusive, compulsive heterosexuality?

22. There seem to be very few happy heterosexuals. Techniques have been developed that might enable you to change if you really want to. After all, you never deliberately chose to be a heterosexual, did you? Have you considered aversion therapy or Heterosexuals Anonymous?

Answer 2

You attempt to answer your own question -- but you are wrong you know.

The reason people increasingly say that babies are born gay is because as we continue to pursue an understanding of human sexuality -- it is more and more evident that it is inborn. The evidence becomes more overwhelming every year.

Two things in particular I'm going to point to. A number of major studies have been done of animals. All the species studied had homosexual behavior -- and all the species that had pair bonds at all had homosexual pair bonding TO THE EXCLUSION OF MATING WITH THE OPPOSITE SEX IN HEAT. Explain how that is even possible as a choice for animals? (the best book in this particular field is probably Dr. Bruce Bagemihl's book "Biological Exuberance" from St. Martin's Press -- from its bibliography you can find many others, and you can easily find other studies that look at the same phenomena.)

2nd -- the Fruit-fly study. The results for fruit-flies can't be denied (link below). People are trying to say that just because it applies to fruit-flies it doesn't have to to people. Alright, while I accept that the genetic mechanism is much more complex among humans -- why on earth would something like homosexuality be completely genetic in simple species and not genetic at all in the most complex species? It makes no sense, particularly given that no gay person I know EVER remembers being attracted to a female. Bisexuals are attracted to both. Gays are only attracted to same sex. So -- how is that a choice? Isn't it just the opposite of what straight people feel? An inborn automatic response. Period.

Standing against science, common sense, and logic -- you have a bronze age book that people keep telling each other is divine, but which says the earth has corners (Isaiah 11:12), sits on pillars (I Samuel 2:8), and is on top of the water (Psalms 24:1-2). The book says beetles have 4 legs not 6 (Leviticus 11: 21-23) and states that rabbits chew cuds (which they do NOT) (Deuteronomy 14:7). Given that choice, despite the emotional benefits that I'm sure some people gain from believing that the bronze age book is correct on this, just like it is on the corners -- I'll go with the logic, science and common sense.

Answer 3

No babies are born gay. And for that matter none are born heterosexuals either. Babies can't choose their sexuality.

Studies have been done about sexuality and the effects of social interaction vs genes on sexuality in children, but all are inconclusive and cannot be taken as real hard facts.

Also i don't not understand why you say 'gay comes from sin'. I am straight but i don't think that was a fair statement to make about the gay community. Have you opened your eyes to what religion has become lately? I know of catholics that are using condoms, that don't fast on Fridays, that don't observe lent. I know of Muslims that do not eat halal food. I know of Hindus that eat steak.

Religious practices are being bent and broken everywhere everyday to suit everyone's idea of practicality. Sure I may not agree on some of the bending and breaking but I sure as hell dont go around saying that they're borned in sin.

Answer 4

It's not a fact that opposite sexes always attract. That is just a common misnomer that society tries persuading us to believe.

I think more people are born gay than what is realized. It is our environment that makes people think they have to be normal and like the opposite sex. So the gay movement isn't just a bunch of people jumping on a bandwagon, it is people finally bucking this false ideology and being who they were born to be.

Just because we can't prove with science that some are born gay, doesn't mean that we're all born straight. Show me the scientific proof that says we're all born heterosexual. There is none.

Actually, according to natural selection, a race in which some of the population is born gay will flourish because it is not overpopulating itself. So there is some scientific support in that.

Answer 5

Babies cant be gay because babies are not developed with personalities, feelings and sexual preferences. They might born with genitals that seperate between boy and girl!

However, later in life when puberty and hormones start to develop then the person knows whether he/she attracts to the opposite sex. Your idea about gay and sin are totally .....no relation. People use religion when it comes to sexuality, gay marriage etc. However, people is not ready to commit to religion belief 100%. I think it would be appropriated to discuss about gay issues and leave the religion alone. It is because religion is secular in the most Western societies.
I dont understand nor I do want to understand your statement tha gay comes from sin. It just doesnt make sense to me. What about other sins for Catholic ie cant eat meat on Friday, condoms, abortion, sex outside marriage and etc?
How do you relate to the modern lifestyle and common sense? All of these doesnt make sense unless you are ready to be open-minded about it, not too hypocritical and get your fact right about homosexuality. Otherwise, you just cant comprehend and live with prejudice, bias and ignorance because of the 'sin' . Your mention above is totally absurb to majority of people.
The media might advocates it but the media aslo acknowledge that in every socitey there is a subculture, lifestyle, taste and people are not born the same. In addtition, you need understand that it is a reality that most common straight people are highly misunderstood, ignored and uninform about it.

Answer 6

There's anecdotal evidence, where thousands of gay men and women have not been sexually abused and never "chose" to be gay, yet are.

Then there's scientific evidence such as the twin studies, finger length, brain differences, and birth order. Just recently a study came out showing that men with older brothers are more likely to be gay, indicating that there may be an in-utero hormonal component.

So the media is advocating what both anecdotal and scientific evidence indicates: that there is a genetic and hormonal component that determines sexual orientation in the womb. Sin has nothing to do with it.

Answer 7

I guess it's a good idea to ask this question so that you will get answers from those of us who know. People ARE born gay, it is totally genetic.
I never knew ANYONE gay/lesbian when I was growing up. I don't know of anyone else in my family who is gay. I didn't meet anyone OPENLY gay until after I realized I was a lesbian.
All I every heard/saw on tv or movies as I was growing up was the same negative, stereotypical garbage that people, who don't know, or who are close-minded or not more educated in the subject threw at me.
so, with all of that, how could I then become gay if it has to be "introduced" as you say? It is nature, not nurture.
perhaps you didn't know (or still don't know) many gay men or lesbians growing up?
You have listened to closed-minded homophobic opinions growing up.
I can tell you that I, as well as every other gay/lesbian that I know, that we were never "introduced" to being gay. we've felt/known this all our lives.

Answer 8

you are quite right, babies don't think to themselves "I want that man". This is because they are not sexually aware at that age.

But being born gay doesn't mean that you're aroused when you see an attractive person of the same sex as you from year dot. It means that during development in the womb, something occurred (either down to genetics or ante-natal trauma or hormonal imbalances). Such that, by the time you were born, your brain would have been affected so as to be only interested in Same Sex attractions when you did become self and sexually aware.

Answer 9

Babies cannot make a decision. They are babies, dude.

Did you make a decision when you were, say....2 years old...that you only like the opposite sex?
If so, do you vividly remember making that decision?

Or....were you just born with it inside of your soul and there was never any 'questioning' of it?

If your answer is that you were born that way....then there ya' go!

Answer 10

Bc they are ignorant. u r NOT born a F A G. U become one because u r around them and they indoctrinate u. U become one when u start to have a relationship with one. They then convince u that u were always gay. Remember God does NOT make junk. He will NEVER make a person gay bc it goes against everything He stands for.
