Is anybody sick of the same question being asked, Are gay people born that way or is it a choice?

Answer 1

I sure do, it is so tired I don't even answer it anymore.

Answer 2

Sometimes it gets a little annoying, but I do have a philosophy on questions. I will always answer them as long as they are honest queries and not someone trying to bait me.

I'd rather hear the same question over and over again, and feel as if I am giving a well thought out answer that someone would be able to understand. Besides, we're getting a lot of new folks on this site all the time, and many times lots of folks have the same questions.

Answer 3

i'm extremely tired of this question. why would anyone rightfully choose a lifestyle where we are subject to open hatred, especially knowing that most times those who would harm us get away with it.
i know that my parents didn't teach or raise me to be gay-or otherwise all of my siblings would be gay too.
i didn't choose this. i could have chosen to live a lie-married a woman, even had children, but it would have all been a lie. i know that my homosexuality would have eventually come to the surface.
why does this question even matter to people? if the top scientists found out tomorrow that being gay is genetic, nothing would change. the religious group would still be preaching that our lifestyle is wrong, the government still wouldn't recognize our marriages and rights, we'd still be the target of people's hatred. most of the American society-can't speak for other parts of the world since i don't live there-want everything to be like the color beige-bland, unexciting, and predictable. that's why they can't stand anything that is different from their beige little world.

Answer 4

Yes unfortunately about three-quarters of the time that somebody asks the question, I believe it is asked by someone who has already made up his or her mind that it is a choice, and they've left the question here to bait an argument.

For the few sincere individuals who are truly seeking to understand queer people, I appreciate their effort. I'm just not sure they are the majority of the people posing the question here.

Answer 5

yes. I'm not gay but i'm bi curious and it has been with me for a very long time and it is by choice to some point as well. But I do believe that people are born that way.

Answer 6

Yes, it seems to be asked by some clueless breeder every five minutes. I don't understand why they don't do a search or look at the similar questions that pop up when they type in their dumb question.

Answer 7

Hell yea, if it was choice, I wouldn't be gay. They act a through being gay is like selecting which supermarket you want to shop at.

Answer 8

I'm sick of that question coz I hear that all the time. Once asked the "mystery" is solved, why asking it again and again, there's no point, nothing revolutionary is going to happen.

Answer 9

That question is up there with, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" and "What is the meaning of life?"

You just have to ignore it. Don't feed into their questions by answering them. Maybe they'll take their ignorance somewhere else.

Answer 10

People can ask it as many times as it needs to be clarified. Homosexuality is natural. However, ignorance is something that is nurtured. So, we tend to have an overabundance of ignorance.

Answer 11

I am cause my cousin is gay and we could tell he was different when he was like 3-4 years old . Period!
