Why are Gay's gay?

Question

Does anybody know any scientific information on the reason(s) a male would turn gay?

Answer 1

Rather than biology or choice, I think it is more a matter of personal taste. Some people like ketchup, some prefer mustard, and some like both. If ketchup was outlawed tomorrow, I could force myself to eat mustard or I could forego condiments altogether, but that would never change the fact that I prefer ketchup.

I don't think I was genetically pre-disposed to prefer ketchup over mustard, but I wouldn't really consider it a choice either. I simply like one and not the other, and I'm sure that's how it is for gays.

You know what's fun about this analogy? Your homophobic friends will refuse to tell you their preferred condiment, for fear it will tell you something about their sexuality. That's pretty entertaining.

Answer 2

It could be that conditioning may have a very small part of a person being gay but it would be a very small percentage of gay people that are effected in this way. However, I do think that the majority of gay people are born with this disposition.

'God' does not make nature perfect. For instance, I am sure that most of you have heard of a condition called hermaphroditism (or the more politically correct term these days is 'intersex') where a person is born with the fully formed genatalia of BOTH sexes. The subject, apart from their genitalia, is physically and mentally sound in every other way.

Sometimes, these children are operated on at birth if the doctors decide (guess) that the baby appears to have a female or male inclination and the genitals are modified accordingly. In many cases though, a modified 'girl' grows up with feelings for other women and modified 'boys' grow up feeling something for other men. It seems in these cases, the doctors have made the wrong decision and the psychological makeup of the child was in fact the opposite to the physical modification they performed on the child. So even though, for instance, a child may be brought up as a girl with girls toys etc, the 'nature' side of the brain kicks in at puberty (if not before) and overrides the 'nurture' side.

Now, if nature can produce a visible, physical example of developmental confusion on the OUTSIDE of the human body, who is to say that there are not processes at work of developmental confusion going on INSIDE the unseen brain of a person ... where there may not be an obvious physical example of gender disorientation externally but internally their brain does not dictate in the way that their external body would suggest to the rest of society.

There is very strong evidence that sexuality is largely determined by development in the womb. Perhaps, while 'intersex' is firm external physical proof of developmental issues, we ought to consider that perhaps the developmental differences in gay people are more subtle and obviously invisible to the naked eye due to the brain being internal - but that does not mean that the differences are not there.

Homosexuality has been around since the beginning of time and if you research gay history in cultures across the world, the present prejudices seem to stem with the spread of the three major monotheistic religons and it is this prejudice that is ingrained into the psyche of people today. But like racism, for instance, perhaps this prejudice towards gay people will diminish as society recognises that alternative sexuality is actually just a normal part of nature's rich diversity.

Answer 3

If there is any "turning" gay it happens in the womb. We have no control over it. There is a lot of scientific information on that topic, but gays do not need scientific "proof", it is very clear to us that no decision is made.

Answer 4

It's the same sort of question as why is there crime or vice or suffering.

There are just problems in the world and many people make bad choices. The annoying part of modern homosexual activism is that it is no longer accepted that homosexuality as a permanent lifestyle is either a choice or wrong.

I find it ridiculous how gays will point to homosexual mice and shout: look! homosexuality is a part of nature.

To me, their reasoning couldn't be more fallacious. As if mice represent some moral ideal. What would we think if those mothers who killed their children were to point to sharks or other vicious animals and say: see killing your children is natural, many animals do it!!

Anyways, I think that homosexuality is retarded and wrong in the same sense that murder and drug addiction are wrong. Why people do it? Ignorance desperation pain loneliness. Who cares they should stop.

All behaviors follow from the decisions of the people who commit them. Those decisions in turn follow from the ideas that those people accept as true.

Gays have bad ideas in their brains.

the male brain has certein chimicals that make up as well as speciffic patterns of development in a typical hetrosexual male brain they harbor a relitive same pattern however compared to a homosexual males brain which to be compared to the female heterosexual brain are suprisingly simmular in the structure and nurolocigal chemical balance as well as the homosexual brain is much more advanced in the centers of arts creativity and social skills

It is not a certain reason - there are many. First of all u are not born gay. U become one by many reasons like - simple childhood bad moment - something like when u are rejected by girls or having hard times becoming a cool guy. its complicated and i think people should study this matter

Answer 7

What makes the man gay is either seeing/having lots of women (wanna change after being bored)... Or the lack of having women (getting what's available)...

Answer 8

some researchers says that there are some estrogen found on chicken, cause some poultry farmers inject their chickens with estrogen to promote the chickens to lay more eggs, so when chickens looses their capability to lay eggs, chickens are sent to the market to be sold as chicken meat so when a guy eats more chicken, it says that they become gays because of the estrogen present on chicken meats!

Answer 9
