Question

Im gay and i wanted to know what made me so awsome

i already know why people are gay i just wanted to see if strate folk knew too.

Answer 1

You're gay because of some genetic combination that made you homo instead of hetero. Basically, you're born that way. Now as far as gay = awesome, bull. I know plenty of geeky, flaky, boring, and lame gay people, definitely not awesome. I also know some awesome gay people. As far as you being awesome, that's probably a consequence of your personality and upbringing. If your parents taught you well, then you're most likely a good and decent person, which is awesome.

Answer 2

its 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

people are gay because they choose to be. I am not joking or being cruel it is the truth. I think if I wanted to i can focus on men's asses and crotch's and train myself to be attracted to just that. I feel gay people do that subconscious due to bad hetero relations even without ever being in a straight relationship. This is why I think people are gay . By the way I think gays and straights are both awesome

Answer 4

No. No one knows for sure. But I'd wager that eventually the accepted theory will be that it's neither genetic nor a choice, but a mix of both. No facet of human behavior has yet been shown to be entirely genetically determined, but we do know that genes have a profound influence over behavior. You'll have to split the credit for your fabulosity with your parents, probably 60% for you and 40% for them. If you're still speaking to them, take them out for a nice dinner to say thank you.

Answer 5

I feel it is your right to choose but I am a man who prefers Manly Men- So I guess I am Gay - It has nothing to do with Awesome. I like Men becuase Its Something I grew to enjoy like Scotch, you might not like Chinese food if you never ate it - but then you try it and find out you like it-There's no real evidence chromosomes have anything to do with it or that your born that way I think its more like an aquired taste.
As for the guy who thinks Satan has twisted me up to destroy me Whats Up with that? Hes Been BRAINWASHED!

Answer 6

you should toe down a bit,buddy. being gay is a choice,it's not inborn. it's an experimentation. and it's saying yes to go against what's neutral and what's the typical norm. deviants rock!!!LOL! i'm bi so i actually have the best of both worlds. more of like eating rocky road ice cream and oreo cake at the same time...YUm! the fun thing about being this is being myself. chatting on webdate has enabled me to be open myself and my sexuality to everyone.

It's satans fault. He is the master of confusion, lies, and twists everything he touches. He has twisted your soul to make you feel this way. You should find aspiritual leader of some sort to help. Pray and ask God what to do.
