Do you consider homosexuality a part of the human condition?

Question

Or do you think it's a choice? And why?

Answer 1

It is both a part of the natural human condition and also a choice. If children were not taught not to fraternize sexually with their same kind (usually because of their societal religious practices) then they would by nature experiment with that sex and with the opposite until they themselves found out which they preferred.
Of course today's children do not have the above option and they now have to consciously make a very emotionally charged choice or realize that they were born homosexual. Either way could spell expulsion from their own family.
There are a great deal of animal families that have homosexual tendencies and human societies that had legitimate places in those societies for homosexuals that weren't those of shame.
It is really time for Society to change.

Answer 2

Well I always thought that it was something that babies were born with. Until I saw this special on Discovery channel which was proof enough for me. They was trying to determine if trans gender was a choice or if people were really born with one sex but really was another mentally. They did a study on 6 brains of dead men who had gone through with the sex change surgery to try and understand them more. Their initial findings proved that the tissue in the brain that shows what sex the brain came from all said female even though they were born male. People criticized the study and said the findings were due to the fact that these men took hormones which caused the brain tissue to change. After going back and checking the medical records they were able to verify that all but one man did take hormones. The last man was completely hormone free. That study confirmed for me that trans gender and homosexuality is not a choice. This is something you are born with. That doesn't' mean some people don't experiment.

Answer 3

I think it's a part of nature. Nature doesn't say that homosexuality is abnormal. In fact, it's the opposite. Nature is unpredictable. There is almost no rule in nature that doesn't have exceptions. The platypus is a mammal that lays eggs. That goes against the norm, but I don't hear people saying a platypus is an abomination. And suggesting that homosexuality is a choice is ridiculous. Who would CHOOSE to live a life where they are ostracized by society?

Answer 4

Homosexuality is genetic, no longer a decision. no person might pick to be an outcast like the homosexuality community. look on the way they get taken care of. distinctly lots worse than the different residing being. it could be suicidal to compliment to stay existence that depressing.

Answer 5

I consider it an abnormal part of the human condition.

Answer 6

I think it can be both. I think some people are born that way and others are influenced by the events of their lives. However, I don't think that it is something that you can really turn on and off or pray to go away. If you are, you are and if you aren't you aren't.
