Okay, so I want you guys to tell me why your GLBT. I also want to know when you figured out that you are. And if possible, can you give me some debatable homosexual topics?(i.e. A pill that gaurantees your child will be straight. Good or bad idea?) In my 6th hour class there's not much to do so we sit around and discuss certain topics.

First of all. Let me tell you that I am a lesbian. And Im not looking to "entertain my sixth hour class" I just want some good debatable topics. Homosexuality is my favorite topic for arguments. I am very good at debating, and I like defending who I am.
Besides wanting some topics, I just wanted to know how you figured out that you were GLB. And I wanted to know how old.
And fyi, I know I was born gay because I've never been attracted to males. That's my reason. Now give me what you think. I never meant to offend anyone... Im 14 and I just like discussion and conversation.

We are born gay/straight/lesbian/bisexual. But we choose the lifestyle we lead. That is the only thing we choose. Number one you cant help who you love, and you cant automatically turn yourself on to something. If you just dont like guys and your a girl, you cant change that, but you can deny it. Its wrong to be something other than who you are. The biggest lie is to lie to ourself. Lying about who you are is the only sin a homosexual can face. As long as we are good to ourselves and our neighbors, then I think we secure a way into heaven. Denying a gay person from getting into heaven would be like... moving out of your house because the floor creaks. And even then being gay isn't even a flaw! We are all humans!

If you want to take this to the highest level then here you go...
We're born this way. The gene cluster responsible for homosexuality has been found on the X chromosome. Along with that, the part of the brain that controls sexuality has been definitively found to control orientation as well. Please feel free to read the books I sourced for explanations...
You hear people say "theories" so often because most don't even know that proof is out there. The rest refuse to believe the facts because their own predisposed beliefs say otherwise, this however doesn't negate that it's proven fact.

Being a homosexual male I am of path for homosexuality, however I shall try to gift causes for either side of the argument right here. Against: Same intercourse members of the family don't advertise a populace development. Homosexuality isn't nearly all of sexualities and whatever that is not within the majority is "distinguished". Specific religions forbid homosexuality (no rationale why ever due to the fact that I can discover) In a few locations sodomy is unlawful For: A character's sexual alternative makes no foremost have an impact on on any lifestyles however their possess and their associate's. Love is to be stimulated, no longer discouraged. A character does no longer always prefer to be interested in guys or females. Homosexuals are individuals with the liberty of option identical to heterosexuals (no less than within the USA)

1)Well First of all i am NOT glb or anything like that. Second of all there is no magical pill,etc. People are not born this way, it is the individuals own preference or choice to be this way. I have known many homosexuals who are Honest and admitt they freely chose that lifestyle and then their are those who claim they came into this world confused! It basically has alot to do with the persons up bringing and their journy on finding theirself. Every body wants to have a place and feel emotionally excepted. Its just sometimes we get overly caught up in finding who we are and where our place is and get too emotionally involved in WHAT we think is right or feels good, for our own needs and this isnt always the best solution. Being homosexual goes alot deeper than how one acts or portrayes theirself in front of others. 2) OKAY, I am not trying to offend u either, but there is a psycological reason u have never been attracted to males. Gays have been around since the begining of time and scientist havent found a genetic solution, cause there is NONE!!! You can lie to yourself all u want, But u werent born that way. Second of all no u cant help who u LOVE, But u can help who u sexually LUST over. Think about it; How many gays get together as highschool sweethearts & stay together? NONE, WHY, because gayness is something the flesh feeds into & needs more & more of. And WHY, are u getting turned on at 14, anyway? Focus on your family, school(work that is), and hobbies. And if u believe in HEAVEN, u must believe in GOD & GOD's WORD which clearly states in 1 Corinthians 6:9&10, DO U NOT KNOW THAT THE WICKED WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDON OF GOD? DO NOT BE DECIEVED: NEITHER THE SEXUALLY IMMORAL, NOR IDOLATORS, NOR ADULTERERS, NOR MALE PROSTITUTES, NOR HOMOSEXUAL DEFENDERS, NOR THIEVES, NOR THE GREEDY, NOR DRUNKARDS, NOR SLANDERS, NOR SWINDELERS, WILL INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, we are all human & disobey, but that doesnt mean make a life of it! Well, u will be in my PRAYERS, Whether u want to or not.................

First, Im just an L in the GLBT, not the whole thing.
I figured out I was lesbian at 16 when I had my first crush on a beautiful girl at my art class.
Pretty much any homosexual topic is going to make good debate material, hon. Take a poll of the class, see how many think homosexuality is genetic or choice, then try to convert the minority to the majority.

You keep omitting transsexuality from your statements. One time you referred to GLB and on another time you refer to gay/straight/lesbian/bisexual. They should not get omitted, they have enough problems to deal with when it comes to acceptance. Though it's arguable that it's a medical condition, and not a sexuality issue, they still are part of our community and deserve our support.
Now as for your other stuff. A pill to make kids straight will never come, and if it ever did it would only ensure that only poor people had gay kids, because it would cost a pretty penny. As is the best way to tell if someone is gay is by the numbers of older brothers a man has, each raises his chances of being homosexual by 33%.
In theory if the gene is identified there'll be MORE homosexuals. Gay people will have gay kids, they'll pick them as such. Plus it's a good idea for population control. Gay people will go through the paces of life, but not reproduce as much. So for countries where they need to stabilize the population they could just have more gay kids. So mothers could then say "well yes I had 6 kids, but it's okay, 5 of them have the gay gene for sure so they won't procreate".
It's another version of the one child policy.
As for being gay and when I noticed, I always knew, just didn't know the word for it.
I like to say "I never picked it, it picked me" seems to ring true I think.

There is not a reason for homosexuality, and because it is not a chromosomal factor, a pill to guarantee a straight child would not be plausible.
You are born with a certain eye color, as you are born with feelings and attractions to the opposite sex. A pill cannot change this, parents cannot change this and neither can therapy.
Debatable topics are gay adoptions, death benefits for partners, rehab for homosexuals, etc.
I am a 33 years old female who has been married for 9 years. I am bi-sexual and came to terms with these feelings about a year ago. My husband is my best friend and is very supportive of my new discovery. I have no intentions of changing my family life.

Realized I was attracted to guys all along, got more and more aware of it as a teenager.
Finally realized I was "gay" at 18.
We are not "debatable". We are a fine and normal part of the world, whatever the bigots say as they fall back on their Bible gibberish. So, I have no yes/no, good/bad debate topics for you on homosexuality.
I do, however, have some debate topics regarding the bigots:
- what is the root of their bigotry? What have they been taught, and when, that made them this way?
- why do homophobes not recognize homosexuality as a normally occuring variant in humans?
- why are some bigots (like Fred Phelps) totally focused on homosexuality and all the details thereof? What's the attraction for them?
- Why do some states (CT, RI, NJ, OR, I think) give gays all the rights and responsibilities of marriage, but call it something else, like "domestic partnership"? Why have two names for the same thing?
- Why is the "procreation" argument used against gay couples, but has no part of heterosexual marriage - i.e. having children is not a requirement of hetrosexual marriage?

Why? I just am. I didn't choose it, I accepted it as a part of who I am. Several scientific researchers have shown that homosexuality is caused by genetic factors.
I thought I was when was 13, but kept trying to change until my mid 20s when I accepted myself and came out as gay.
A topic currently being debated is the fact that the head of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary recently acknowledged that people are born gay, but he also said that if there is an eventual prenatal treatment to cause a child to be born heterosexual that the treatment should be used.

Im not gay but I did study science in college. The most likely explanation is a surge of stress hormones in the 3rd trimester. There are no known genetic differences between straight and gay people. All research on upbringing has proven negative as a explanation.
Here's a good question: If you for abortion rights. Is it a right to abort a child if a woman thinks her child might be born gay?

1. It is natural, fulfilling, and just plain fun.
2. I fell in love with a buddy in the army.
3. Pill to turn a kid straight seriously bad. Allowing same sex marriage seriously good
4. Don't you have some homework to do?
