if being gay is a choice...?

Question

wouldn't that mean being heterosexual is a choice as well? if it is, then you can't argue that heterosexuality is natural. you can say it's more popular than being gay, but definitely not natural.

Answer 1

Precisely. No living human has the authority to say what is "natural" and what isn't, as we still don't know 1% of 1% of ANYTHING about our world.

Entrolla: Bisexuals, of course.

Answer 2

Since the Bible indicates the natural way of sex is between a man and a woman and that sex between a man and man or woman and woman is unnatural and is an abomination against God, then I'd say for sure that Heterosexual activity is the natural and anything else would have to be by choice.

Answer 3

Do you really have a choice ? Can you choose your genes , your sex , your parents , your bringing up, your dependant years ? What choices did you have and when could you go in accordance with it ? How can you tame the one which has no limits to its uncontrolled speed - the speed of the human mind ? What is seen as normal - is always relative. Know your limitations, you are slaves to so many things starting from a few drops of hormones in your body , to social norms . Think about your choices in this light.

Answer 4

I doubt that it's a choice. It's probably either a biological anomaly -- like being an albino or a hemophiliac or color-blind -- or it's something ingrained in a person in early life, possibly as a reaction to some traumatic event.

Heterosexuality is obviously the norm, but that's how nature biologically wired us. Again, no choice involved.

Answer 5

I knew I liked women since I was a little kid. Heterosexuality was not a choice for me.

I'm sure most people know what they like when they are little. I'd bet most gay and bisexual people knew when they were little. I'd bet it wasn't a choice for them either.

Answer 6

Yeah, I'm heterosexual but I'm going to try being gay for a month or so, since it's a choice.

Edit - I'm trying to be gay now. Hm, it's not working. What's up with that?

Edit - Still trying to be gay. Damn, I must be doing something wrong. I'm still attracted to men.

Edit - Is there a class I can take to learn how to be gay? It's still not working.

Answer 7

"being gay" is a choice much like being a human being results in the act of choosing sin.

You see, a human is born with a nature . . . and that nature hates God . . . and when given a choice . . . and it will always present itself . . . the human chooses sin. Until a person is 'born again', they will be unable to resist their nature.

"What is born of flesh is flesh, what is born of Spirit is Spirit."

BTW: 'being gay' is explained in the second chapter of Romans, in the New Testament. Simply put: it is a "rung" you step on while climbing down the ladder of rebellion against God. Restated . . . it is a 'natural' progression as one goes further from the truth . . . as a person refuses truth they become 'upside down'; where good is evil, and evil is good.

Answer 8

Nature assigns us with equipment for gender. Very few are born with both and that's another matter. But as for the others, homosexuality is infused by imagination, abuse or indoctrination as a child, prison etc. it is a choice although it may not have started that way.

Answer 9

Yes, heterosexuality is assuredly a choice for the majority of humans, who aren't on one little tail of the Kinsey Scale....

And vice versa.

The natural state of mankind is Bi, hun. Anything other than Bi is a choice for all but about 20% of the world.

Answer 10

I find it hard to believe that so many of us LGBTs would sit around and choose to be in a category of being that is abused by people who are unkind and judgemental, sometimes to the point of LITERAL abuse or killing.
