For those of you that claim to be homosexual, did you become or were you born that way? I can accept the notion of having homosexual tendencies, but I believe you acted upon these tendencies and then the psycological modification took place. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I was sitting up late one night watching one of those product endorsement television shows. On comes this somewhat good looking spokes model peddling an "alternate lifestyle".
For just 3 easy payments of $ 19.99, I too could partake in the joy and wonderment of an "alternate lifestyle".....and if I acted right away they would throw in a pocket sized lint remover.
How could I possibly resist....I dialed the 1-800 # right then & there and two weeks later, my "alternate lifestyle" arrived in a plain brown paper wrapper.
It's as easy as that.

Honestly, I was born homosexual. No, I have not acted upon my "homosexual tendencies," because I am a virgin. Now, when I do decide to "act," I will be sure it is with someone who loves me and is committed to me. I was born gay, just as you were born heterosexual. Are you telling me that I don't have the right to act upon my orientation, but you do? Don't you think that's pretty hypocritical? Why can't you just accept the fact that there is diversity in the world?

This one time when I was 3 my parents watched The Wizard of Oz and after that I was pretty damn gay! lol. I'm just kidding!
I have always been gay. To choose to be something at some point in your life you had to stop yourself and say "can I or do I want to be gay or straight." That never happened because never in my life have I felt deep down that I could be anything, but gay. I'm okay with that because that's who I was meant to be. You're given the hand your dealt to learn from it and possibly to teach and help others through your experiences so why would I go against that.
Regarding my "homosexual tendencies" if I didn't act upon them I would still be gay because that is what I'm attracted to. You don't have to take any action to know physically and mentally what makes you aroused and who you want to be with. Women are great, but I have no sexual attraction to them. They make great friends though.
Believe what you want because you're going to ultimately, but I know for me it was not a choice and I'm perfectly happy with that.

I don't "claim" to be homosexual, I AM. I didn't choose to become gay....nothing "caused" me to turn gay. all the "reasons" and "excuses" people like to use that make people turn gay are all lies, assumptions and generalizing stereotypes. I was born to straight parents. I was never abused/molested or raped. I don't hate men (I have lots of male friends). I didn't know anyone openly gay growing up, and never met one until long after I realized I was. I have never been attracted to men, only women. there was never a day where I just thought "hmm, I'll think I'll be lesbian, so that small-minded bigots can harass me for the rest of my life." I still find in mind-boggling how many times we see this same question posted in here every day!
So, yes, you're wrong, and I'm correcting you!

I no more became homosexual than anyone else became heterosexual. Depends on what you mean by that. I didn't pop out of the womb and have romantic attractions to ANYONE: no one does. To that end, we're all born asexual, in a way. I don't think that anything along the way "caused" my homosexuality though. And, the other thing is, it ultimately doesn't matter. What I know is that I'm gay, and that I can't change that, and that, realistically, there's no reason I should have to. Without religion, there's no logical argument against gay relationships.

I am bisexual and I know, without a doubt I was born that way. There was never a moment where I sat down, thought about it, and chose to be attracted to males and females.
I had crushes on little girls in elementary school. This is long, long before I knew what sex was or had heard the words "gay" or "straight".
Did you choose to be straight? You just are, right? That's the way it is for everyone.

medical researchers focusing on human sexuality have shown that homosexuality is genetic. medical study classes from October 2004 and June 2008 mentioned that scientists have discovered that ladies human beings have a tendency to have greater little ones whilst they inherit the comparable genetic aspects proper to homosexuality in adult men. This fertility enhance greater beneficial than compensates for the shortcoming of offspring fathered via gay adult men, and keeps the “gay” genetic aspects in stream. A 2005 study mentioned genetic scans exhibiting a clustering of the comparable genetic trend between gay adult men on 3 chromosomes - chromosomes 7, 8, and 10. The areas on chromosome 7 and eight have been linked with male sexual orientation even with despite if the guy have been given them from his dad or mum. The areas on chromosome 10 have been in trouble-free terms linked with male sexual orientation in the event that they have been inherited from the mummy. A study from 2006 mentioned that researchers have customary for years that a guy's probability of being gay rises with the style of older organic and organic brothers, however the recent study discovered that the so-referred to as "fraternal start order consequence" persists whether gay adult men have been raised far flung from their organic and organic families & that "the study potential that the form of sexual orientation is motivated in the previous start."

You're wrong.
I take it you have 'homosexual tendencies', but you aren't gay because you aren't acting on them, so the 'psychological modification' has not taken place. Do you realise how silly that all sounds?

I'm bisexual.
I was born this way.
when gay men's brains are scanned they look different from heterosexuals (the different areas are the hypothalmus and corpus collosum). no one can make their brain work differently than ir does or change shape- otherwise people with brain damage would cure themselves.
and the brain is well formed long before puberty.
