what do you think about homosexuality???

Question

whats your view on homosexulity? i myself dont think that its a personal choice, just something that youre born with..what do you think? genetic? choice? from emotional scarring? something else? tell me what you think.

Answer 1

If anyone thinks homosexuality is a choice, then I expect that they were tempted to be homosexual, but CHOSE to be heterosexual. Because if you didn't choose to be straight (I know I didn't), then how can you say people have chosen to be gay? Also, anyone who thinks homosexuality is a choice hasn't been around a kid who is too young to understand homosexuality but is obviously homosexual.

Answer 2

I am fine with people gay people and respect their choices no matter what the source of their being "gay". As to why people are gay, it would be irresponsible to say one way or another. There is insufficient evidence to support the theory people are born gay, because although there are some things they think are found to occur with gay brains, who is to say that what they see is "gay". Also, those things they have believed to be associated with being gay has not been consistent across the table and therefore their theories remain subject to doubt. On the other side, I do have gay friends who say they have "chosen" the lifestyle and really aren't sure one way or the other whether they were born that way. So, I think we should show respect to all people no matter what, even if their actions may be contrary to a religious belief. Hopefully, some day we'll know more.

Answer 3

I think it all depends on the person themselves.
Everyone is different and everyone is entitled to be different. As long as they're healthy, happy and harm no one, take advantage of no one, are only having relations with other consenting adults...then what does it matter? Really.

Yes, I'm sure there are some how have 'chosen' to be gay because of some personal trauma, but usually those don't "stay gay" for long. Most of them realize what happened, get therapy and revert back to their natural sexuality.
But I think on the most part, the majority of gays and lesbians are simply born that way.
Many of us either don't realize it until later in life or aren't able to accept it until latter, some never actually ever do.
Some even choose to accept that they are gay and actually intentionally marry someone of the opposite gender because they feel it's their only chance for a "family" or the only way their community or family would accept them having a family. Some actually love their opposite gender mates and remain monogamous throughout their marriages.
Look at Eleanor Roosevelt. Married to Franklin D. Roosevelt but very obviously a lesbian, had a long term relationship with a woman..but remained married to her President husband and they were very close companions.

Answer 4

What do I think about homosexuality? I think of it the same way I think of different races or cultures, different. Some people are, some aren't. It has nothing to do with the person other than their partner choice. People are people, whatever.

I proudly fly the flag, and I have friends that do and don't. Whatever, it has very little to do with a person. End of story.

Answer 5

I think that you are born that way. For those of you who think it's a choice, could you explain WHY people would choose to be ridiculed, put down, made fun of , & get physically hurt?? One more thing for those who cannot understand how 2 people of the same sex can be attracted to each other, don't you think that the g/l's wonder how we can be attracted to a different sex?

Answer 6

If desiring women for a straight guy is a choice, sure. It's not though.

I was attracted to guys starting around 13 but I suppressed it. It was somewhat easy to do when I was also attracted to girls.

I had two reasons for denying the gay part of myself. One was my religious up-bringing, and the other is something I'd rather not say.

Answer 7

I never think my being gay was a choice. It is my life. I have always been attracted to girls. I never acted on it until I was 19. I did try 'straight' relationships and didn't find it appealing. I flirted with girls and never with guys in middle school. When I was 16 though my brother's best friend raped me because I told him I didn't find him desirable. I tried dating guys after that and still didn't want to be with them. I chose to come out. I didn't chose being gay. It seems I was born with it.

Answer 8

my view is .. I love it. If people are born gay, then are bisexuals born bi?, I think that when you reach puberty your hormones kick in and you decide that your gay or straight, so i guess you can say your born with them, and choose to be gay, or straight. The emotional scarring should be on the part of the homophobes the ones that don't understand or don't want to learn about being gay. Personally i chose to be the person I am. i was not born to the job i do, i was not born to be the religion i am,I was not born to live in the USA, so i choose all this and in my opinion i choose to be gay and I love it

Answer 9

I think it's something that people are born.

I never had to choice do I like women or men, so why should I assume a gay person had any more choice of what gender they are attracted to then I did.

Answer 10

I think it is totally fine. my best friends are lesbians and that what they want and they are happy. I mean thats all that really matters. I dont see them all going around saying that it is wrong that malse and females are together. i think that they should be alowed to get merried if they want and that it is no one elses consern. The news is making it some big story all the time. I dont think the government should be allowed to descide who can and who cant get merried. they should just get over it.
