OH relax kids. I'm a lesbian...I was just having a conversation about christian ideology and this new idea that there is a "Gay Gene" that causes the "birth defect of homosexuality" so we wanted to see what kind of response we'd get to a post like this. and you're right....it IS completely obnoxious and offensive.
now...the fella down there that says you're not born gay....
i was. and unless you're gay...you can't really comment on what a gay person thinks feels or experiences now can you? unless.....is there something you want to tell us?

ok this requires further comment.
I was born gay. I have no sexual trauma in my history, a great relationship with my parents and siblings, i've known since i was very very young that i had a natural attraction to women and not men. I tried being straight, i fought being gay until it made me crazy...saw therapists, joined church groups, i even tried hypnotherapy! I was miserable. I finally accepted my sexuality and i've never been happier! no one would make that choice, if you knew what i go through on a daily basis, the discrimination, the violence (yes i've been jumped, beaten up, had my tires slashed etc etc etc) you would understand how offensive it is when people in all of their self righteous wonder flip up their nose and say "it's a choice"
if you're not gay, you can't answer that question, so dont try....

Well, I am I'm pregnant. I've been praying pretty damn hard and have been taking every precaution to make sure that our little boy comes out without any mental disabilities and deformations.
I really wouldn't care if our little one was gay. I'd still love him, I would still be proud of him and I would consider his partner as family. Period.

Gay, of course. I know lots of gay people and they are just like you and me with the exception of being gay. I don't believe that being gay is a "choice", you are born gay or straight. Think about it. If you are straight, what could another girl do to make you want to have sex with her? Nothing. Same goes for gays. Just like you aren't interested in another girl sexually, they are not interested in the opposite sex either. After all, being gay you can live a perfectly great and happy life. That would not be possible to lead a fulfilling life if you were severely mentally disabled.

To answer this - one would have to begin assuming two things - that both these things are negative and that being gay is a state of mind you are born with.
Honestly - I don't believe one is born gay. There is a lot more going into it then that. Babies aren't born with a preset mind - they learn through example and by experience.
Mentally handicapped children can be their own joys. Many parents of children I have taught over the years say that their child who is menatlly handicapped has been a joy not a burden to them. No matter what society thinks.

How would we know if the baby is going to be gay? And I had a grandson who was severely mentally disabled and I loved that little boy with all of my heart! He passed away just a few days before his third birthday.He did not choose to be mentally challenged. I miss him. I would love any child or grandchild of mine who said they were gay! I am a Christian and I am not mean and closed minded.It would be a very hard life I don't think anyone would choose to be the target of bullies and such. I would still be proud that they were my child.

First of all you are all going to call me a self righteous bigot, and I do not care, so here it goes No one is born gay. Homosexuality is a learned behavior. You choose to be homosexual. It is obviously not natural, you cannot reproduce offspring in a homosexual relationship. I have nothing against homosexuals, my beloved sister is homosexual. I think it is a sin just as drunkenness, adultery, ect... The Bible is clear that homosexuality is forbidden. Therefore I am not able to answer your question.

I would rather have a child normal in every way. As, it turned out I do have a gay son. However, it has not always been easy for him. He has been beat up and ridiculed. That is not a choice a mom wants for her child.

Being gay is not a birth defect. That is a fact, do some more research. and if i had to choose, I would have a child that made the choice to be gay; and f.y.i. i have no problems with either one.

That is a weird question but the answer is gay. There is nothing wrong with gay people, there is a problem with a society that condemns a natural state of being.

Gay. The quality of life is certainly better for someone who is gay than for someone who is severely mentally disabled.
Why not gay? I am bisexual myself. I'd have something in common with my kid.
