And I won't allow answers like, "they are just born that way." That's a cop out. Actually this question is in response to another previous question asking why kids turn gay?

they don't TURN gay, they ARE gay. As some kids are born with black hair and others are born with red hair, so some kids are born gay, and some are not. I have two sons, both raised under the same roof with the same loving, one is gay, one is not. And I knew that the one that was gay was before he did. So get off your high judgemental horse and stop trying to walk on water, you are getting your dinkies all wet and you look really silly.

A cop out??? No, a cop out is giving the thumbs down to replies like the_only_solorose and only_a_piece_of_me's just because they're smarter and more open-minded than you are and because you have no other way of telling them off. If you won't allow the truth as an answer, what's the point of posting this question exactly?

I was raised on a farm in a small town. I didn't know any Gay people and went to church 3 times a week my whole life. I knew I was Gay when I hit puberty. Good parenting, good upbringing, religion, and good morals do not prevent people from being Gay or being straight. I was in denial about being Gay until I was 21 I finally admitted to myself that I was Gay. Once I did the healing began and now I am happier than I have ever been. Peace.

Actually you don't get to "allow" an answer. So long as it conforms with the Community Guidelines, you have nothing to say other than picking one that your "opinion" allows you to choose.
Many times children born and raised in the exact same manner with the same standards are very different. Is this a sign that the parents have "failed" in their duty? No. I'm gay, my 2 sisters are straight. No difference in the way we were raised. Simply because you don't accept that some were born with the genetic predisposition for homosexuality does not make it untrue.
Actually trying to find someone to point a finger at, implying that not only did they do something "wrong" but also implying there is something wrong with homosexuality in general is quite bigoted/biased.

Nobody "turns" anything. Either you are or your aren't. It's like handedness, either you're left-handed or you're right-handed. Some people may choose a different sexuality due to outside or psychological reasons, but if you're truly gay or truly straight, you were born that way and it has nothing to do with the way you were raised.

It is a sad fact of life...plant a radish, get a radish. Plant a kid, and god knows what you get. I am sorry you have had bad experiences with children..me too. No matter how open I was, how tolerant I was, both my sons whom I raised, slapped me in the face by being STRAIGHT! Talk about ungrateful brats! But you can only do so much....it is their problem now, not mine. And I do not want to hear about how "my wife is having an affair," " My kids are brats," " How am I going to pay all these bills and feed the kids." That is their problem now...I tried and failed. Am I condemned to hell also?

to suggest people who are not brought up right turn gay is about as assinie as it comes.
I dont care if "won't allow they are born that way" or not. You want to bury your head in the sand and deny the truth, that's your problem, not mine.
I deal in the real world where facts make up my beliefs and convictions, not in your world where your beliefs and convictions make up your facts.

I have a firend online who is very openly gay. my 3 kids, ages 10, 7 and 7, know all about him. I asked one of my 7 year olds if it was ok if he came to visit. my son said sure. i said..* you know he is gay right?!?!* and my son looked at me..with all the wisdom of a child ( who IMO are the BEST teachers out there) *Mom..i was not born gay, so why does it matter???* Now..my son has never been told that people were BORN gay. It is just something that he KNOWS. I just wonder, why people cant just accept it!

It's their parents' failure to have this happen. They set such a poor example for the child..they believed in equality of the sexes and such trash..They never teach children about the sin of heterosexuality.
