Do you think gay people have something chemically wrong with them or a hormone imbalance?

Question

Normal People are attracted to the opposite sex without having to think about it at all. I am not trying to make fun of gay people. I actually feel sorry for them but I don't know if they can help their problem out mentally.

Answer 1

possibly somthing that is inbalanced within them makes them this way, and some by somthing bad that may had happened with the oposite gender... however i dont think they can really help it.. but i still think it is wrong

Answer 2

Wow. I'm blown away by the ignorance of most people here.

Yes, there have been studies that have shown there might be differences between hetero- and homo-sexual brain functions. It has nothing specifically to do with hormones or chemicals.

That would indicate it is not a disease to be cured but a natural occurring event in nature.

Years ago, there was a study done at some university where they kept mice in an overpopulated environment. They were well fed and cages cleaned regularly. Strangely enough, a percentage of the mice ended up practicing homosexuality, leading some to believe that perhaps it was choice or natural occurrence to reduce the population in their environment.

Answer 3

Actually this issue is really complicated.

Personally, I feel human race (or any other race for the matters), couldn't breed or thrive if they don't breed. For the way the human species are created, they require two different physically genders to breed. Meaning: one gender alone cannot breed.

My point is that if every body becomes homosexual (that's the correct term), who's going to make babies?. Scientifics?. Well, if that's the case be sure people in a 100 years will be born in a laboratory and not from love, desire and passion anymore.

I don't judge homosexuals and, honestly, I don't care about them, but I do think they are going against Darwin's species evolution theory.

By the way: there's no scientific answer to your question if that's what you want to know. Not yet at least, perhaps we'll have one if a couple of years. All the answers you can get are just speculation.

Answer 4

Homosexuality As A Disease
You will hear some psychologists call homosexuality a disease, but they only see those gays who are having problems. Dr. Evelyn Hooker of UCLA studied random samples of gays and she discovered that gays are no more neurotic on the average than a random sample up straights. Any problems that gays had tended to be caused by society's attitude toward homosexuality rather than by something inherent in homosexuality. I can say it until I'm blue In the face, but you will actually have to meet gay guys before it sinks in: we are not sick!
One of the practical results of behavioural psychology is a 'cure' for homosexuality. You are strapped in a chair and pictures are flashed on a screen in front of you. Every once in a while, a picture of a nude man will appear on the screen and at the same time you receive an electric shock. The shock continues until you press a button that brings on the next picture — of a nude woman. Pictures of nude men become associated with the painful electric shock and pictures of nude women become associated with relief from pain.

After the treatment is over, you will feel nauseous at the sight of a picture of a nude man and will salivate appropriately at a picture of a nude woman. However, your feelings toward real-life men and women remain unchanged. Using modifications of this technique, psychologists are claiming successful 'cures', but they hasten to add that the method could equally well be used to 'cure' a heterosexual by changing him into a homosexual.

Even Ann Landers and Dear Abby advise their homosexual readers, 'Forget about being cured as even the best cure rates are only 4%. You must learn to live with your homosexuality, see a psychiatrist — not to be cured, but to get help accepting yourself as you are.'

A friend of mine, Keith R., was once asked on a radio talk show, do you know of any homosexuals who were cured?". He replied, "Yes. Three of them -- they all committed suicide."

Answer 5

Hormones are chemicals so you're asking if its Option #1 or if its Option #1 .

And yes, I think that there may be some sort of imbalance or other malfunction going on.

Answer 6

you have got to be freakin kidding me. what is wrong with you. normal people as you put it are actually attracted to and in love with whomever they are meant to be with. judgemental people like you who have no clue make me so made. if heterosexual sex is normal then why can't mean find the the g-spot and why are men's g-spot in their bum. i am a heterosexual woman and i find absolutely nothing whatsoever wrong with gay and lesbian people and i also don't consider myself normal because i have a boyfriend. get a life and some understanding of anything other than your pathetic existence.

Answer 7

No I don't, i do feel that something might of happened as a youngster that might of caused these gender identity problems, but the good news is that you can come out of the gay lifestyle, as many are doing.

Answer 8

ignorant
1. Lacking education or knowledge.
2. Showing or arising from a lack of education or knowledge: an ignorant mistake.
3. Unaware or uninformed.

Answer 9

Science is starting to discover that there are differences in the heterosexual and the homosexual brain. Whether or not this suggests that it can be treated is yet to be discovered.

Here's one site that talks about it, but there are a ton more.
