A sincere question for those who view homosexuality as a choice...?

Question

Do you believe that inside someone practicing homosexuality are the same desires as a straight person and they are simply being denied in favor of same sex attraction?

Answer 1

if you view homosexuality as a choice there is already something wrong with your thinking. Any further explanations from that line of thought are therefore also extremely suspect.

Answer 2

Possibly, it IS a matter of Choice.
Whenever anyone Chooses to share intimately with someone else, it is just that a Choice. ((Sometimes a more unconscious decision for most, hence it was a choice.)) enough babble.

Yes, desires are on a equal playing field, it is just a matter of what one chooses to be aroused by consciously. (( Who has not ever said NO.. there must have been something decided to turn off the emotion. )) Point being, ON / OFF switch can be aroused by either sex, just a preference and labeling.
What makes us human, vs the animal world? Our gift of reason is our strength. ((explore Natures tendencies and see how we measure up against instinct... 'take extinction for what it's worth, it is environmental."
Sexuality starts out as a curiosity and there are MANY external factors that influence the final decision, ((environmental factors)) and homosexuality or not is a preference and labeling is the conclusion.

peace.

Answer 3

I don't think being gay is a choice. I have a sister who is a lesbian. I watched her since the age of 5, and how she developed into the person she is today. Through her life, even as an early-aged child, she had tendencies that led her to live a lifestyle that she now lives. She used to be more then just a tomboy. She would put on a football uniform with shoulder pads as a child, she would box other boys, she played baseball, and even was a quarterback on her high school "powderpuff" football team. She would then have sleepovers with little girls in the neighborhood. As it is with straight relationships, she developed a progression. It definitely was not a choice because of who she was and is. I think she tried to date guys out of peer pressure, but it always seemed not just right for her. She went through the low-self-esteem stage & tried to fight her "urges", but she is what she is. She has been with the same female for over 20 years and is happy with who she is. I don't use the word "what". I think it's rather demeaning. It's like choosing a breed of dog or something. I believe she was born with the instincts to become homosexual. I don't think it was a matter of choice.

Answer 4

I guess kids choose to be abused, and some couples decide to be barren and/or infertile. I choose to be dark skinned. YOu know we all have a choice in these matters, we werent born this way you know! (dripping in Sarcasm)
It always amazes me those who claim to be heterosexual now. What makes you think they are telling the truth? HOw many People today claim heterosexuality and are sleeping with the same sex on the side or when they can? HOw many Ministers (recent scandal) are avid CHurch members and claim Jesus saved them from homosexuality, and will be doing the same things again? ALl of them. You could choose to deny your instincts,impulses but you cant change what gets you going. You cant deny the laws of attraction.They are extrememly personal. To deny such things will end in serious psychological issues. Are you aware at how many Kids committ suicide because they are in FEAR of admitting that they are gay? To many, keep the ignorance where it belongs, in the garbage, NObody in their right mind would choose to be gay. Its hard enough just living regularly, but why add the added stress of being Socially unaccepted, ridiculed, disowned, fired, excommunicated, bashed or whatever other ignorant harsh punishments others can come up with?!
And what do you guys mean you choose to get intimate? SO are you saying all homosexuals should stay celebate and not have sexual relations with consenting adults of/with the same attractions? They should stay A sexual for the rest of theur lives? HOw fair is that?! Everyone else can have who and what their attracted to but you homosexuals cant, dont choose that road. Stay by yourselves or get with someone your not attracted to in any way shape or form?! COme on guys you have to admit the absurdity of this choice "theory" which is of course made by people WHo are afraid of being gay and not comfortable in their own gay skin, or HOmophobes or str8's who will never even really try to identify what we go through or who we really are. These are the theory makers.

Answer 5

It is outward homosexual behavior that is the choice, the same as it is with outward heterosexual behavior. Fornication is fornication regardless of sexual orientation. Both the Old and New Testaments condemn sexual misconduct on both sides of the fence and condemn sex outside of marriage. Homosexual behavior denies what God has intended human sexual behavior to be. God loves the homosexual as much as he loves anybody else. I am not saying that homosexual orientation is a choice any more than heterosexual orientation is a choice. To practice or not to practice is the choice in both cases. Sin is sin no matter what its nature is, and all sin is repulsive to God. Illicit sex in a whore house is no different to God than illicit sex in a private home. When it comes to worshiping God and receiving the kingdom of Christ the rules are the same for everyone---repent.

Answer 6

Hey man I definatley believe homosexuality is an abberation.It just dosen't fit into the puzzle of human survival.But saying that you are only human and if that is what makes you happy then go for it.Atleast your'e not having sex with kids or animals which I beleive is a similar abberation just a lot of very bad consequenses.So consider yourself lucky, stop philosaphising and go have fun

Answer 7

Everyone has a desire for sex, But what you are trying to say is if this person have a desire for sex but with the same sex, isn't that causing that homosexual to be denied his or her part in sex. NO, They may have a desire, but as the bible says, they left The natural desire of that of a man for a woman & woman for a man, & went after their own lust burning one for another. Man for man & woman for woman. Even nature teaches us that is wrong.

Answer 8

I think it's more a question of WHY has this issue become soooooooo political? I don't wish judge those that are... or aren't. But I also don't need it in my face everywhere I look. The schools, the church, the news, the government, I can't even turn on the television but what I am exposed to something I just don't want any part of. WHY? Why do I have to keep seeing this over and over and over. Telling me that you're gay, is like saying that you like to be on top, or you prefer oral sex, or you like to do it outside. I DON'T CARE, AND IT'S MORE INFORMATION THAN I WISH TO HAVE. Come out of the closet, stay in the closet, who cares? If you're looking for attention, look somewhere else.

Answer 9

Some people are born, and WHAM they feel more female than male for example.

These people have been like this forever and have tried every means of changing but they cant. This is not really homosexuality. This is a person who has abnormalities in terms of sexual persona and its really not their choice. It is a biological problem and imbalance in terms of persona and body sex.

I have met people who have turned homosexual after being straight tho. and this is true homosexuality. They could not have been straight unless they were biologically normal.

So theirs is really a choice.

Most men, who practice homosexuality, and are married with children, are the ones God shuns in Scripture.

The number of people who feel "different" from birth is very rare compared to the number of men who have perversions and sleep with both men and women for pure pleasure.

Answer 10

No, these desires are perverted. They manifest as sick, depraved desires. BTW You asked the question, even though you may not like the straight answer.
You say it is not a choice, i disagree, people choose to not be, and can change.
And if you are gay, have you never noticed that each has a particular perversion of choice... think about it. Why are there size queens, chicken-hawks, chickens, butt boys, tops, bottoms, drag queens...

Answer 11

I think in a way it's a choice, but then again I think it is forced upon people, as I have never known a homosexual in my life who did not have inappropriate contact with a homosexual adult at a very young age. I think that has alot to do with shaping sexuality.
