PROOF
Well I think everything in life is a choice we make. Whether to love or have sex or be in a relationship of any kind is a choice.
But who you are attracted to???
Though (don't get mad this is just my life) I will say that my choices of mates has been determined by where I live and who I associate with in the past. I can give examples but they do not seem relevant.
I think like all things that mutate (not calling them mutants) such as eye colour, skin tone, blood type, it is happens for a reason, knock me down for saying it out loud but the world is SEVERELY over populated. Maybe this truly is humanities way of keeping a balance in nature. The biology seems right to me.
BUT I know that it is not easy for anyone to face a life of ridicule for being different (no matter what the way) and I do believe that most homosexuals are born with that preference. Do I believe they all are NO. BUT I HAVE NO PROOF.

Being homosexual is not choice. The choice is if you choose to act like one or suppress yourself by staying inside the closet.

I don't think so. Generally, homosexuality is not a choice, but a realisation by an individual that he or she is sexually attracted to members of the same sex.
I think that it is sometimes a choice in that a person may choose to experiment with homosexuality or simply just try it. I believe that these people tend not to remain homosexual.

I watched a show probably a little over a year ago that linked family's that had a history of homosexuals and they found a gene that on they had. I believe it is like a birth defect but it in the brain so it doesn't show. Now it's the bisexuals that i feel make a choice, except for the older ones who tried to be "normal" until it was OK to come out of the closest. Just my opinion and a little fact. Have a good one:-)

Don't believe the guy who posted the CDC (Center for Disease Control) link. The CDC has N-E-V-E-R come out with ANY report that says it's a choice. And for the guy (and others) who quote the bible, do some research. It was put into Leviticus by the jewish tribes to a) divinely mandate procreative sex to increase their numbers and b) to distinguish their practices from other groups. There are a bunch of other silly 'sins' in Leviticus like not wearing clothes of 2 different weaves, not shaving your sideburns, etc. It made it into Romans because Romans is a set of letters written by Saul of Tarsus (Paul) to the christian community he established in rome. He was raised in the leviticus-inspired, anti-gay culture of his time and he somehow felt he had some authority on determining the theology/beliefs of early christianity (despite the fact that he never even heard jesus preach).

I think it isn't a choice. Based on articles published by many leading scientists in the area of genetics. I follow the theory that something changes in the genetics of children as they are born.
The only people that think it is truly just a choice to live that way are the homophobic religous people that believe in an idiotic superstitious god. And that is god with a lower case g. Because he's imaginary.

From a religious standpoint (and from what I hear a physical one, too) there is a choice. According to the Bible, homosexuality is a sin (Leviticus 18:22, Romans 1:26-27, among others), however, we are not BORN into sin. We are born with a sinful nature. Everyone's sinful nature is different (many men's sinful nature is sexual immorality, lust, or anger, for example) and it is our choice to follow that sinful nature or to fight against it and live righteously. These people have given into their sinful nature and are in sin because of that, but they were not born with the actual sin of homosexuality.

Personally, I believe that its a sin in the eyes of God, we have many biblical stances on that, BUT I also believe we are not to be harsh or judgmental in our treatment of others. Choice or not, God will let us know someday, lets do our best to love each other, just as Jesus Christ commands us to. Not all Christians are crazy homophobes, just as not all homosexuals are flaming gays or militant lesbians.

No. I'm gay. I was born like this. I knew that I was as long as I've ever lived. I haven't let the looney christians or homophobics get to me. They have laughed and pointed and yelled at me but I still accept myself even though they don't. At one time, when I was in middle school, everyone was a homophobic, and I wanted to be straight so bad just so that I wasn't different. Believe me... if homosexuality was a choice, I would have stopped it. But, I learned to accept myself, and now I'm living a happy life in L.A. with the love of my life.
