no it is not a choice. i did not choose to be heterosexual, i just am. i imagine that's what homosexuals feel, is the same thing, they just feel it. i can't imagine a homosexual choosing to be homosexual...our world is so cruel to them...who would choose that?

I believe choice in some cases can overcome nature, but it isn't the case with everyone.
There are people who struggle with their gender and gender identity as gay, lesbian, transgendered... I think they seem to have the most difficult time in society, because they cannot show others an obvious reason for their struggle and so they are unrighteously judged by many. There are also hermaphrodite or "intersexed" individuals, who obviously were born with mixed gender... a few of them very close to 50/50. They usually feel they have to choose between one or the other (or their parents choose for them at birth) because of how society responds to this phenomenon. They are then observed by many to be a "transgendered" individual, or gay/lesbian. For various reasons, there are some people who must change gender or get closer to one than the other, who just seem very natural. Other people observing them would not be able to tell in any way that they had the surgery or that they were born a cirtain way.
I am an abstinate "female heterosexual"

I do not believe that sexuality is a choice....it is just the way a person is.
I was well aware of my attraction to not only men but women as well at a young age. A friend of mine put it best for me when we were speaking of sexuality and labels.
I am not a heterosexual, nor am i a homosexual.....I am just a sensual and sexual being. Thats it, thats all. And that is how i perceive myself to this day....I do not care for labels, however i am very adament when voicing my opinions on the issues of equality in every form of the word for all.
I hope you find what it is you seek..

i don't think sexuallity is a choice.
as far as man and women go, everyone is built for sexual contact and physically is ready to have sex at an early age. we release hormones and have urges and that doesn't necessarily make it wrong to act upon these urges. it is the way we were made. We as humans are one of the exceptional creatures that don't just reproduce but have sex for emotional connections.
as far as lesbian and gay relations go, i honestly think there is a genetic reason for them being attracted to the same sex and there are also people who tag along for lifestyle reasons. There has always been lesbian and gay sex acts recorded through time. it wasn't wrong then, and it shouldn't be wrong now. If it promotes more love and happiness in the world, i am all for it.
i liked your question and i hope i had a decent answer for you.

Personally, I think no, sexuality isn't a choice. You don't choose to be attracted to certain people any more than you choose your dreams, your IQ, or what you excel at (math/science minded or liberal arts minded). I believe it's how you're born and something you can't change. There have been homosexual feelings as far back as Ancient Rome and Ancient Egypt, before people understood what homosexuality was. Also, there are enough people out there who are worried because they are homosexual and they think it's wrong that it doesn't seem possible for them to "choose" it. You can't change who you are and you shouldn't. By the way, I'm straight but for gay rights. You shouldn't be considered different based on sexual orientation, it's as bad as being shunned for skin color.

the respond is A, and A leads to B. Homosexuality is the sexual or/and romantic attraction to a member of the comparable gender. I say “or/and” by way of fact it incredibly is surprisingly hardship-loose for human beings to have intercourse with somebody they don’t love. Homosexuality is easily organic, because it is likewise hardship-loose with many animal species. Homosexuality is something you're born with; in fact the area of the suggestions that controls the sexchronic is approximately thrice greater interior the gay suggestions than the heterosexual suggestions. A leads to B, as a gay guy or woman will merely have a sexual bump into with yet another gay guy or woman of the comparable gender. even though, been a gay and having a gay bump into at the instant are not the comparable element. it incredibly is hardship-loose for young ones to test with a member of the comparable intercourse on an identical time as experiencing sexual confusion. This confusion arises in the time of puberty, by way of fact the reproductive gadget is going into comprehensive swing. yet another occasion of a gay bump into could be penitentiary rape. even though, such acts are often the end results of desperation and sexual frustration, and should no longer be seen by way of fact the habit of each gay. regrettably, some human beings make the presumption that “If certainly one of em dose that and acts like that, all of them do.” incorrect. all each physique is different, and subsequently act different. individually, i think of you're able to desire to easily decide someone by skill of their character and movements, no longer their sexual orientation. Be they gay, heterosexual or bisexual, you get the belief.

it's not a choice. I know this because I did not choos to be straight or bi-curious and every person I've talked to who is gay or bi has said that they did not choose their orientation. I was and still find myself ocassionally bi-curious but I doubt I could ever have a sexual relationship with a woman. So officially I am straight.

It's not a choice. I *know* it's not a choice, because I didn't choose my sexuality. I also think with the research we have coming out that indicates it is actually determined by genes shows that it is not a choice. I'm heterosexual.

I don't think sexuality is a choice. I didn't choose to be attracted to women exclusively. I just am. And any gay or bisexual person I've ever spoken to has said that their sexuality is pretty much the same way. That it's a basic feeling, not a choice.

I know that it is a choice when it comes down to the person I sleep with.

I'd like to know what *you* think, *why* you think it, and *your* sexuality.
People frame questions this way because they have political agendas.
"Is sexuality" (one construct) "a choice" (two options).
You want to limit the scope of possible answers before the debate even begins, because answers falling outside that scope may cast doubt on your preconceived political argument.
If you want to have an intelligent conversation on sexuality, you have to define at least six categories. That's my rule.
So:
Is bisexuality a choice?
Is lipstick lesbianism a choice?
Is teenage experimentation a choice?
Is submissive, feminine, male homosexuality a choice?
Is butch lesbianism a choice?
Is S&M a choice?
That's six to get you started. My gift to you.
EDIT:
Is criminality a choice? I *know* it isn't, because I was born wanting to break the law.
Is obesity a choice? I *know* it isn't, because I was born wanting to eat.
Is goth cosplay a choice? I *know* it isn't, because I never made a choice to dress goth--it just felt natural to me from the moment I tried it!
EDIT 2:
Is gay-for-pay a choice, or were heterosexual gay and lesbian porn performers born that way?
