How would you know if it is a choice or organic in nature?
Or are you just mouthing the words of an ignorant and bigoted fool?
I have actually talked to gays and bis. They all tell me that at puberty they felt different. Some of them knew what it wast, some took time to figure it out. Some had accepting parents, others faced rejection.
But in all cases, they felt they where gay or bi, not by choice, but by their genes.
You might say that there is no "gay" gene. And you would be correct. But there is not single gene that determines our eye color, or hair color, or our metabolism, or skin color, or our height, or even our favorite color.
Instead, it is a multitude of genes that governs all of our individual traits that make us unique human beings.
Grow up and have some fun in life. Leave your hate behind when you post. =)

the respond is definite, yet in simple terms each and every now and then. the two they have been born that way or something went in a distinctive direction of their recommendations in some unspecified time interior the destiny of their progression and that all of them started being interested in little ones. For any of my dearly loved gay contacts, please do not take right here as offensive, it is not meant to be. Pedophiles, like homosexuals, are created the two techniques. some are born that way, and others are products of condition, be it molestation of their very own young ones or what have you ever. How do you're saying it is not a query of morality, and then end your question with "and consequently thoroughly organic and not evil, in accordance to the atheistic international view." needless to say you assert if we agree that pedophiles are incorrect, then being gay could be incorrect. the type is that being gay does not harm absolutely everyone. What 2 consenting adults do interior the privateness of their very own residence is none of our employer. Pedophiles are predators who prey on little ones, and while they molest them approximately 0.5 the time they create yet another ability pedophile. whilst the organic and organic workings of the two ought to be comparable, they might additionally be in comparison with the way quickly actual everyone seems to be interested in a minimum of one yet another. people's brains strengthen distinctive techniques, and tragic advancements in existence may additionally extremely shift the way your recommendations works. regrettably each and every now and then they strengthen in a fashion it extremely is risky to people. If something, those possible random advancements deny the existence of a suited author by using exhibiting what a less than excellent creation we are. If there replaced right into a God or gods accessible who needed us all to be quickly, monogamous persons, It (or they) might've made us that way instead of leaving such distinctive variables.

How many homosexuals do you know? I bet the answer is zero. If you had known any, you would know the torment that many of them go through before they accept that this is the way that they are. For them to come out of the closet and finally publicly embrace their homosexuality and be able to deal with people like you takes more guts than you can imagine. This is why many never come out and live in denial their entire life.
Also, if you think homo sapiens are the only species that have gays, you are sadly mistaken. Look at rams for example, around 20% of the male rams are gay (according to recent study done trying to figure out why some won't mate)

Being bi-sexual I cant say yay or nay on your question. I just know that I didnt wake up one morning and decided to be this way...I just was.....Ive always liked the same sex even as a small child....I dont think there is a 'gay gene' but it is something for me that has alway been present in my life. Hope this helps.

Go on then, choose it. See if you can. Let us know how you managed to be sexually aroused by men in the way that you are now sexually aroused by women, and how you managed to be sexually repulsed by women in the way that you are now sexually repulsed by men. I'd love to hear you (or anyone for that matter) explain the mental exercises by which you would achieve this 'choice'.
If you can honestly tell me that you've been gay for a week, a day, even an hour, then I might believe that you're right... but I seriously doubt you can. I know I couldn't.
Email me and let me know how you got on, OK?

Your sexuality forms early in fetal development and is reflected in the development of the anterior hypothalmus of the brain. Your genes trigger the differentiation of this area, but there can possibly be environmental impacts that interfere. By the time you are born, which sex you will be physically attracted to is already wired in and will not change.

If I could choose to be gay, I would. But no matter how much I try, I still find women very sexually attractive and I am repulsed by men.

Homosexuality is a choice. It cannot be called sin by God unless one has a choice. People make a choice every day to be straight or gay. If it is not a choice why do people still choose not to be.

It's not just a "claim" it's a fact. Especially considering that nobody chooses to be the object of someone's ignorant hate is one proof it's not a choice.

Why would someone "choose" to be discrimanted against so strongly? Being gay is no more a choice to them as being straight is a choice for you.
Stop being such an intolerant asshole.
