I know that studies say that yes some people are born with the different levels of hormones, but just because they are born with less of the hormones does that make them gay?

Yes. Homosexuals are born that way. It's been found that their brains are different, and they react differently to pheromones from men & women.

I think gayness is something that develops after birth, in the formative years. Everyone has some natural tendencies that the popular (read: Puritanical) culture views as homosexual.
Touch is a natural expression of affection, though, and isn't necessarily sexual. Because of this society's strict taboos on touch, some young people's natural affections for people of their same sex are not allowed expression (except in the accepted outlet of team sports), and they sometimes misidentify themselves as "gay".
Historically in this society (the USA), once a young person expresses his or her belief in his or her own homosexuality, guess who is the only group who will accept them? Older people who used to be in the same situation, but now are exclusively gay: the "gay community".
Thus you have a new, exclusively gay person.
(There are many reasons why young people have "gay" thoughts or attractions or behaviors. I won't even try to tackle them all. But there's no way you can convince me that anyone with a penis "naturally" prefers another man's anus to a vagina.)

I really don't like to argue this subject;and am a christian,and I know what the Bible says about it.But science proved some years back in Sweden,that the frontal lobes of a gay mans brain,were the same as a normal woman's.Now I think that God created all of us,gay,straight,black,white,red,yellow,etc.When the Israelites were becoming a nation during there Exodus from Egypt,God was trying to get them to reproduce quickly,so they could be a large nation.I don't think he created any perverts,I do believe that is something someone chooses to be.I have a lesbian friend whose Mom told me she would not wear girls clothes from the time she was borne.She would take them off or get out of them somehow.Now did she know what she was doing?This is one of those issues that divides nations.But in reality we are all God's children and he will judge us not man.

Some humans are perhaps born with an attraction to the same sex, some with an attraction to children, some with an attraction to animals, some with whatever attraction they might have. We have all inherited sin from Adam and it shows itself in many different ways depending upon the person. This is not an excuse to act on an attraction which goes against what is morally right!!

Some people are born gay, some are conditioned. My brother is gay and remembers having some of his feelings from his early childhood. He definitely did not choose these feelings. On the other hand, I've known women who just gave up on finding a decent man and found their fulfillment in other women.

Being gay is a choice. Yes, some people are born with less testosterone than others, or they don't produce as much as others, but being gay is a decision. Don't let bleeding-hearts tell you otherwise.

I don't think it's hormones, but I think it's pretty obvious that people are born gay. Most people (not all) generally go with the easiest path in their life. Being gay is certainly not the easiest path.

Dr. Dean Hamer, Ph.D., a Harvard-educated scientist and openly gay man, spent about 10 years studying the human genome in an attempt to prove once and for all that homosexuality is genetically determined. He was unable to do so. This is well-documented and recognized by all scientists. Now Dr. Hamer is attempting to prove that people who believe in God do so because they are genetically programmed to, while those who do not believe in God are genetically programmed not to. This is also well-documented. I think I know what his findings will be . . .

People are not born gay they choose to be that way. I mean if it was meant for a guy to be with another one or girl girl God would have made Adam and Steve or Emily and Eve not Adam and Eve!

well, I think some are, but some just fall into it because they were grown up around it or they just saw it on TV at a young age and just you know, gayness is not a bad thing, if you are gay then do not be ashamed, I mean don't go around saying your gay or anything, but definitely let your family know, they will support you, give them time to understand, even if it takes a year.
