Do you believe that people are born Gay?

Question

And if so, do any of you personally know anyone that is Gay? "Family or Friends"?

Answer 1

Scientific researchers have shown that being gay is based on biological and genetic factors.

Of these numerous scientific studies, one study found that women tend to have more children when they inherit the same genetic factors linked to homosexuality; another study found extreme differences in X chromosome inactivation between women who had gay sons and women who did not; and yet another study found that, although researchers have known for years that a man's likelihood of being gay rises with the number of older biological brothers, the new study found that the so-called "fraternal birth order effect" persists even if gay men were raised away from their biological families.

Even the ultra conservative president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary has said that scientific research "points to some level of biological causation" for homosexuality & "I am absolutely confident that a large number of homosexuals are telling the truth when they say they did not choose that orientation."

Answer 2

Yes, I do. I have done research on the very subject. During the first and second trimester of a woman's pregnancy her ovaries stop making the hormone estrogen, and the placenta sac takes over. There are times when one stops before the other starts production and doctors will prescribe an estrogen supplement. However sometimes both parts can produce estrogen at the same time, giving the fetus an over load of estrogen. If the baby is female it causes an increased sex drive, if the baby is male it gives him a hormone imbalance with estrogen levels, there for he has female emotions(Gay) There have also been proven autopsy reports of the size of the brain. A woman's frontal lobe is twice the size of a man's. Study has shown and proven that a gay man's brain is an exact copy of the woman's.(larger frontal lobes)
My brother is gay. He has always been gay. I knew as a small child that he had female traits. It's not a choice. People do not choose to be picked on, and ostracized. You are who God intended for you to be.

Answer 3

well, i'm not exactly gay, but i am bisexual. if that counts then i'm answering with my honest opinion: when i was younger (i'm talking primary school ages) i only liked members of the opposite sex. afterwards when i became a preteen (and for a few years until my mid teens) i liked only members of the same sex. now i'm 17 and i find that i like both equally and can't choose which of the two genders i am most attracted to. i am attracted to less musculine boys (not much body hair, delicate features and overall, kinda sensitive-looking). i've been told thats coz since, being bi, i'm subconsciously looking for someone who can fuse the two genders. like a woman who's pretty putch or a very feminine-looking young man...

anyway, to answer ur question, i'd say i wasnt born being this way. i went thru many phases up until now and i'm sure i will undergo many more in future. at least if i take my own experiences nto account, then i'd say people aren't born homosexual or bi, they realize what they want later in their life.

Answer 4

I have been struggling with this question for a year. My sister says no, my mom says yes. Personally I think that a lot of people, (not all) say they are for attention. Like my friend is gay, but she didnt turn gay until after rumors were spread about her and another girl. That sounds wierd to me. If you're attracted to the opposite sex and you really feel for someone of the same sex then go for it! It's your life and no one else's.

Answer 5

Yes I do and yes I do. We have several friends that are gay. I also have a cousin that is gay. I assume my three adult children are not but only because they have not told us they are. We have raised our children (I hope the lessons took root) to proudly celebrate who they are and to repsect others in their own self celebrations.

Answer 6

It's been pretty well established. Not just by "scientists" either. There are indeed strong physiological and behavioral indications that homosexual attraction is genetic, but I think the most convincing testimony comes from the people themselves. Very few (outside of religious guilt systems) deny this.

So whose idea is it that homosexuals "choose" their lifestyles? Who else but the religious fundamentalists. Why do you suppose they deny the facts? It's my opinion that they are in denial because a perfect god couldn't create an imperfect human, so despite the hardships associated with being homosexual, homosexuality isn't inherited it's a lifestyle.

How very convenient.

Answer 7

i know i was born gay. i also know i don't want to be gay but i am anyway. if i had the chance to choose what i am i would have liked to be what is considered 'NORMAL' for once in my life

Answer 8

who cares if people are born gay? it has no relevance in the discussions. Whatever 2 consenting adults do behind closed doors in no ones business but theirs.

Answer 9

Yes, most of the scientific community links heterosexuality, homosexuality, and bisexuality to many factors including genetics and fetal development etc. There is nothing "wrong" with whatever your sexual orientation may be.....

Answer 10

I know I was born gay.
