Why people blame homosexuality on genetics?

Question

How the hell does it make sense that people are geneticaly made to be homosexual. Homosexuals become homosexual because they choose to.
If being a homosexual were genetic then that would when homosexuals that have kids would have there kids become likely . I mean you see people turning gay, back to straight then sometimes bi sexual so how the hell is it genetics. If it were genetic. If you want to be gay that's ok , i don't hate gay people , i just hate it when people blame genetics as the cause. It's not genetics people just choose it, learn to accept that it's a life stlye and sexuality. Its a peference they choose.
Thats like murderers are murderers because of genetics. Or that pedofiles are like that because of genetics. It makes no freaking sense! People just choose to do what they do. Wether it is right or wrong is a another issue but i don't think gay people are bad, bad people bad. Theres all type of bad people. But come on and stop making an excuses for homosexualit

and yes they are homosexual with kids because i have seen some that used to be straight and had a girl . then turn homosexual. There kids didn't turn homosexual.

some people might decide to be gay the next day or not. Some people become gay over time due to enviormental and social influences. Also experience on it being positive or negative experience can play a big role. So i don't know what your getting at saying people don't choose to be homosexual overnight.

being homosexual is not because of harmones because you forget that they are plenty of masculine male homosexuals and plenty of feminen homosexuals

and just because you haven't met any ex gays doesn't mean they aren't any. I know a girl in my class that was lesbian, then she became bi and then late in the school year turned straight. What are you talking about.

and as for apa what the hll are you talking about

Answer 1

You mean we chose to be homosexual just like you CHOSE to be heterosexual?? Or chose to be ignorant??

There is alot that science cannot explain 100% and no one knows with absolute 100% certainty what happens in the womb. The rationale of people like you is what makes absolutely no sense.

And for the record, gay parents may or may not give birth and raise gay children but all gay people are products of heterosexual relationships.

And one last thing, you could try doing some online research into the matter rather than being so judgmental.

Answer 2

Why is that that a child brought up in a good, Christian home suddenly becomes a serial killer? He is not insane, but only immaturely developed. He can not sense compassion. Another creature's suffering has no impact on him. As it turns out, he is genetically flawed. This does excuse him of his crimes because society will not continence a mad dog defense. Any creature that is criminally flawed is subject to the death penalty in our society. This we defined as knowing the difference between right and wrong. You speak of the many flaws in our society but don't take into account numbers. It is almost a fixed number in our society that 20% of people will knowingly commit a crime. Of these some 4% are violent crimes and 2% are considered heinous crimes. These are small numbers in any population and has not varied significantly in 6000 yrs. They are valid statistical facts. The reason we are more aware of the crime in our society is that we collect news from all over the world and somewhere, sometime, a terrible crime is committed. It is big news. The fact is these represent a very small fraction of the world population. Rather than dwell on the negatives, look at the overwhelming positives in our civilization. Be grateful that we live now where most "evil" does not touch us despite what the scare mongers and news people would have you believe. The odds are very high (80%+) that the next new person you meet will be a right fine person unless you work in the confinement industry. Even if you work with criminals all day. odds are 80% are there because of circumstance and are basically good people.

Answer 3

1. Got any facts?
We have the AMA and the APA, and their tens of thousands of scientists, that state as a body that orientation is inborn, does not change, and is not a "choice."

2. Cracked a science book lately? Innate does not necessarily mean a particular gene - there can be all sorts of contributing biological factors.

3. Met any "ex-gays" lately? No one has. People do not change their orientation. Some are tortured into changing their behavior - temporarily - that's all.

4. Do you know the difference between innate traits and BEHAVIOR? You are exactly right in saying "people choose what they DO" - and NOT what they ARE.

5. Of course you think that LGBT people are bad, or you wouldn't attack us, albeit with faulty logic, no facts, and biased assertions.

Answer 4

uh, serious? little people have normal height children. dwarfism is genetic, yet it is not always transferred to the children. so that pretty much takes care of your thoughts that genetically gay people would have genetically gay children. people don't choose to be gay. they are or they aren't. those who say they have seen the light and have been saved by jesus so they are no longer gay are living a lie. they are CHOOSING to seem straight by ignoring their feelings. i have known gay people that got married, had children, and try as they might, they were still gay, so they divorced.

as for bi, i am bi. i like men and women, i just like men a whole lot more.

genetics is not an excuse. it is proven that people are born gay. people are born with disabilities when no one else in the family line has had them, so why is it so hard to believe that people are born gay (i am not calling homosexuality a disability, just making a point on genetics).

Answer 5

People don't wake up one day and say I want to be gay. It has be genetics because it is a more clearer answer. I mean a uncle who is gay could have a nephew that is gay. Being gay is passed down from family due to genetics. If you don't get what I am telling you so be it.

Answer 6

whose blaming anything? I dont "blame" genetics" for me being gay. there is nothing to blame nor is there any reason to blame anyone or anything. I'm gay. Im fine with that. So why would there be a reason for "blaming"???

Next, I just love when straight people come in and tell us why we are gay. It such arrogance that I really have a hard time taking it sitting down.

So, despite what EVERY gay person I've ever known (including myself) has said that they did NOT choose to be gay, you, the straight guy, is going to come in and tell me that we are all liars and you will now grace us by telling us why we are gay. Is this pretty much the jist of where you are coming from?

Well, thanks Straight Guy for telling me why I am gay. Obviously, YOU would know why more than myself, a gay person, and know better than all the other gay people I've known in my life. Afterall, we are just gay people, who apparently lie.

Starting to get the idea of how I feel about your blathering?

Good. Think about what I said.

Answer 7

I disagree outright that homosexuality is a choice.

However, I also disagree that it's genetic. It is a biological/chemical/hormonal thing, but that's not the same as genetics.

People don't TURN homosexual either. They "come out," meaning they tell the truth about their orientation. It's not an easy thing to do, mostly because there are still so many people around like you. You know, people who compare homosexuality, which is merely a same-sex attraction, to pedophilia or murder.

Answer 8

I don't give a flying **** of it's genetics or choice or something still not a choice. Whatever, love who you love.
Personally, who I am, I didn't have a say in the matter. I just am. It's not a choice to be bi, and even then, there are VERY few guys I'm attracted to. Trust me, I don't choose "Hey, I'm going to be aroused by that person".
Maybe it's genetics, maybe it's not, I don't care. I just know it's not a choice.

Answer 9

I am sorry that you are so obviously dealing with your own overwhelmingly stong and deeply repressed homosexuality. You will come to terms with it one day I am sure.

Noone can seriously think its a choice, so no one will blame you. But you have clearly faced the sort of hatred and bigotry that makes people hide. Don't worry - the world is changing and the bigots are in the minority. They are also all as stupid as spit.

Answer 10

Interesting that you, someone that isn't gay, can make assumptions on what makes us, gay people, gay.

I'm sorry that you can't seem to understand nor accept that things in life are not the way you want them to be. But that's life, now, isn't it?

I've always been gay...even before I knew what gay was...explain how someone that doesn't know what gay is, is gay, Einstein?

Your logic is completely flawed, and your mind tainted by hate.

Have a nice day
