another time/ why there are males and females?? and nothing in between??no such things called gay or lesbian?

Answer 1

Actually, in some areas of the world in which sexual malformations occur often (as in New Guinea) there is a "third sex." Because of this, there are no social stigmas attached to sex and gender--leading to a more sexually free society.

Many Amerindian societies in North America had what were called "berdaches." Berdaches were men and women who, at some point in their lives, chose to adopt the role of the opposite gender. This was considered a very spiritual process and was celebrated in these native societies.

There is strong evidence to suggest that sexuality is coded into our DNA. Because of that, it is not incorrect for a person to suggest that homosexuality is not so much nurture (you choose to be gay) as it is nature (you are born gay).

Unlike what some may argue (as in the case of the first Answerer), homosexuality is not abnormal or wrong--no moreso than heterosexuality is abnormal or wrong. The "abnormality" linked to homosexuality is entirely a religious concept. To some extent, we can all thank Aristotle for concluding that "male" and "female" are opposing elements, with "male" being on the "positive" end of the spectrum. Ever since then (especially with the help of St. Aquinas), that Aristotlean garbage has been integrated into Christianity and other "western"-minded cultures.

Answer 2

Most human beings are biologically males and females, yes. But they are not physically limited to "being sexual" with the opposite gender, are they?

You seem to be confusing form with function. We're not just sexual to create other people ... or we wouldn't get turned on except when "more people are needed". But human beings were "created", if you want to put it that way, to enjoy their sexuality for more than breeding. So were over 1500 species of animals.

You are right in this sense; there were no things called gays or lesbians before about 150 years ago. Up until that time, nobody worried about it a whole lot. Look in the dictionary to find out when the word "homosexual" was invented.

If you have a problem with the fact that some people are born attracted to people of the same sex, sorry ... but most things in nature don't much care what we think about them, they just keep on happening.

My guess? Some people have problems of their own they'd rather not face, so they worry a lot about what *other* people are doing.

Answer 3

male and female are a gender and gay and lesbian is a sexual preference, a male is a male regardless if he is gay or not and the same goes for a female, we are called male and female depending on the type of gender parts we have , not on our sexual preference

Answer 4

There were ALWAYS:

1. Males and Females
2. Gays and Straights

AND many other colours and shades in between both of these categories.

Answer 5

What's your question, again?

There are males and females and people all in-between, believe me. People are born in-between (mixed sex characteristics in their genitals and chromosomes/hormones), become that way (transsexuals), and choose to be somewhere in-between (transgenders).

Sexuality, different from above (above is gender identity), is gay, straight, bisexual, or any degree of one and the other.

Answer 6

Get some education, Pal. There's plenty in between throughout nature. And tell me this. Is reproduction the sole goal of sex?

Answer 7

Sexual orientation isn't sex, you bonehead.

There have to be two opposites sexes. After all, have you ever seen an asexual mammal? Think about it.

Answer 8

because it's unnatural and wrong to have sexual relations with the same gender.

Answer 9

what???
