Where do you get your facts on Gay people?

Question

I would like for everyone to send me proof that being Gay is a choice. I don't want what you think, I want rock solid facts. Send me where you get your information. What web site do you go to, or what book did you read, or medical journal did you read it in. I want to know why everyone knows it's a choice and I don't. Post your answers here, and send me the same to my e-mail address. I really want to know where you all get your insane answers. Send to [e-mail]

Answer 1

Try talking to gay people. It just might be a reliable source. What do they know?

Answer 2

I don't have proof, all I can go by is what gay people have told me, and what I believe. So here it goes,like it or not. I have a gay friend and he has said that he has known from a very early age that he was "different" then other boys. I truly believe that he was born gay, and he did not make a choice. I feel that probably several people are born this way. But I do not believe that everyone that claims to be gay was born that way and for some it was a choice. A mixture of environment, security, whatever. And I do not feel that it is appropriate for teenagers that are confused or curious about their sexuality to be encouraged to persue a gay lifestyle for the simple fact that if they were truly born gay, they will find their own way. I do not feel that being gay should be put on the same equal rights level as your race, either, for the simple fact that I can look at a person and tell their race, you can not do that with sexuality. I believe in the don't ask don't tell policy. By the way, the couple of people that I know that are truly gay would never encourage an impressionable teenager to become gay, or come out of a closet that may not even exist, because it is a very tough life to live. My theory for the homosexuals that encourage as many people as possible to come into their gayness is that misery loves company. So lets do this, you don't encourage my children to become gay, if it happens it happens but they don't need a cheering section, and I won't encourage you to be strait!!!!!!

Answer 3

Uhmmm sweety...just because its in print doesn't make it true. And besides wheres the proof that being hetrosexual is innate or chosen as a way of life? Come on start your research...... Oh yeah who told you it was a choice? Where did you get that idea from? Do you want us to create a website that says that it is a choice and then you will believe it? Oh one more thing, everyone doesn't know, where did you get that information from, list the website or journal article below....idiot.

Answer 4

the main difference between the pro-gay and anti-gay rights ideologies may lie in a person's view of just what homosexuality is. A lot of what I read here seems to indicate the idea that "gay" is a behavior, and not a state of being. I've read "you're not gay until you have sex with men" which would lead one to think a person is by default straight until they taste the forbidden fruit (so to speak) which is just not the case. I knew I was gay by 13, and had sex at 21.
"Gay" is what I am. "gay sex" is what I do (as often as I can). Having gay sex is a behavior, and that IS a choice, yes. But I'm gay whether or not I have sex.
I've had sex with women. It was pretty nice, but I was still gay. I've had sex with straight men, and when we were done, he was still straight, and went home to his wife. Was I not good enough at my job? I'd don't like to think so.
behavior can change, but being gay is NOT a behavior.
If it's a behavior, how did my mom suspect I was gay at 6 years old?

Answer 5

Hi. I don't have any "facts" to share so I'll try not to take up too much of your time. I just want you to know that I am a pretty conservative Christian and I know that the way that you feel is the way that you feel and that any talk of choice is not even on the radar screen. I've had several gay friends in my life and they've shared with me some of the things that they struggle with. I just want you to know that I am one of many that know that there is so much more than simply choice going on. And, I tell people who are quick to judge and/or say such things as "it's just a matter of choice" that they need to "walk a mile in your shoes". Best wishes to you. Peace.

Answer 6

The answer that simply fabulous made just erks me to no end! how could you possibly think that just because you cant look at gays and tell wether or not they are should deny them equal rights? Equal rights, u jackass simplynotfabulous, means for us to have the right to marry, adopt, have each other on insurance policies, be able to see each other if we are in the hospital dying, the right to walk hand and hand, ect. ect. Do you really think that straight relationships are that much different? We love, cry, laugh, work, pay bills, love our families just as much as as you do and you have NOOO right to ever say such a thing. Screw u. As for your question, gutterrat, i think that being gay is both a choice and something your born with.

Answer 7

There are no rock solid facts. None. Scientists have been studying this subject for a while and don't have very much. Fact is - gay people exist, plenty of them.

Answer 8

Some things you believe by faith, not by statistical facts.
As a hetero male, I don't WANT to have sex with men, so I don't.
I'm guessing you are gay, but you have the same choice I do, you just choose men.

Answer 9

Ha! I tired from my teen years to my 30's to choose to be straight. It just didn't work. While some few of my gay friends and acquaintances knew they were gay from the start and accepted it, the vast majority chose "STRAIGHT" and found it didn't work for them.

It's not like choosing to be blonde and bleaching your hair, or choosing to be brown-eyed and getting colored contacts. Were it only so easy.

Answer 10

I can find many fact about how its not a choice. Whether its nature or nurture, the only choice is to whether or not to live the lifestyle.
