How can you say homosexuality is a choice when....?

Question

there was a set of identical twins boys born. since they began to play with toys one boy liked trucks and cars and robots etc, when the other boy just wanted to play with dolls... as they got older one boy had his room decorated like the typical boy but the other desperately wanted bright colours, more associated with girls, and pink fur and princesses. this is not the only story of such behaviors. a small kid doesnt understand the implications. this is how they were born. parents have a hard time excepting it, and so is society...
open minded opinions please
close ones welcomed too...
there has also been evidence of homosexuality in animals. and transgendered kids. what do you think causes all this confusion at such a young age?

so anyway one twin ended up being homosexual and the other twin straight.

Answer 1

I truly believe people are born gay. They don't "choose" to be anyone but who they are. We need to be more tolerant.

Answer 2

so pink fur and bright colors and princesses are "gay" and homosexual?

Wow. Just because a child prefers the the attentive nature of having a doll does not mean he will never grow up to know how to throw a football.

I like to think I have an open mind, so why is everyone attempting to shove their viewpoints into my throat and tell me what I am supossed to think.

Haven't you ever heard the saying that being the pitcher doesn't make you gay, being the catcher is? Men are fabelled to have a desire to stick it in everything. Supossedly, that makes them a man. The conscious choice of being the accepter is a different story. But then again, I don't know what I'm talking about and just reciting my thoughts that have been influenced by the world around me.

Answer 3

Different Stimuli altogether.
Can you really say that even a set of twins will learn everything and see and hear everything at the same time???

No you cant.

But the fact that they wetre both born with a certain set of genitilia, and the fact that GOD made them that way,
and the fact that no one can be BORN gay otherwise a gene would be repeateded with regularity through each generation of that family lineage.

What about reproduction?
If homosexuality was in fact normal, then just like hetero sex leads to reproduction naturally...homosexuality would also.

So, GOD and NATURE made them a particular sex.
And reporoduction teaches us what is concieving a child
One twin ended up gay the other not?
Not just one know all circumstance, that teaches thelearned behavior that is homosexuality.

As far as animals being homosexual...
Monkeys do what they do...but as humans we have a differentmentality -- as far as sex is concerned and its relation to Love and Reporduction.
So anyone to say if animals do it, then it must be okay and a natrual thing.
But if someone sees an animal and copies thta behavior, does that make them no more smarter than that animal?

One can argue all they want in favor of justifying homosexuality, but the bottom line is what was taught to us by GOD.

GOD loves all and allows for forgiveness to all if it is asked and they turn away from those sins.
No where in the Bible does it say keep doing what you know is displeasing to GOD, and HE's not going to punish you.

In fact GOD promises to punish thos that continually disobey HIM

Answer 4

Well, homosexuality isn't really a choice I guess, but it's something that you should be allowed to be and accepted for it, because it is who you are. My 4 year old cousin loves playing with barbies and girly things, and walking round in high heels and has even been caught wearing a dress. But no-one in my family has a problem accepting that he might be gay, we still love him to bits, he's one of my favourite cousins actually! But then again, he also loves cars, he knows the name of every single one and has about 400 little cars. It's not 'confusion at a young age' it's just kids doing what they like to do, we're all different. And luckily, when we're young we don't feel the pressure to fit into society, so kids may come across as gay, but they're nothing yet! That boy is just playing with Bratz dolls because he likes them and that girl is just playing with dinasour models because they're fun.

Answer 5

Personally, I don't think it matters if it is a choice or not. Homosexuality does not hurt anyone and if someone is happy liking the same sex then good for them. Unfortunately with all the craziness and bigotry in the world, the only way for gays to get equal rights would be to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that homosexuality is in fact genetic. The state of human consciousness today is so sad. Why does it freaking matter?

Answer 6

Homosexuality is not a cut and dried issue. There are certainly genetic factors in some cases. However I think percentage wise those are relatively few. For the most part it is a learned behaviour. Not learned directly like math and grammar, but environmental factors effect how people turn out. It's very subtle maybe, but something changes how a person develops. It can happen very early, so there's no direct, conscious choice.

The only evidence I've seen of homosexuality in animals is from experiments done to force it somehow, so I'll have to disagree on that one for now. But in a large enough population you will have all sorts of aberrations. That doesn't make it right or natural, that just means it exists. I understand that people have the right to live how they want, just remember that I am not obliged to like it either.

Answer 7

What a crock. It is a choice, it is a sexual perversion, it is deviant behavior. There are no homosexual animals and there are no transgendered kids. Someone has caused this confusion, I know a guy that when he was little his mom dressed him like a girl in dresses, it really messed him up in the head it is always a outside influence. They have proved that the majority of homosexual men come from a home with a single domineering mother and no father figure at all or were molested by some guy.

Answer 8

I got a good one for you...... My best friend is a lesbian. She is also a twin. She also has two other brothers. Mind you we are in our 30's now. Both twins are lesbians and the other full brother is gay. The other brother is from a different father and he is not gay, and married with 3 kids. How about that for interesting?
So my opinion is, its not a choice. Nobody chooses to be gay. Who would? Its a awful life growing up and so many hate crimes because of it.
Thats my story and I'm sticking too it

Answer 9

God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve!!! However the child was raised will determine his/her actions. Why would parents let their son play with dolls? If you have a sleep over you're not going to let 6 year old boys sleep together, think about it. You wouldn't let them watch shows or movies that promote it either. You are not born this way, it is a choice but parents play a big role in what the child chooses to do in the future. God plays a big role too.

Answer 10

No homosexuality is not a choice it's just a thing invented by Christians or certain who are so afraid of homosexuality or becoming gay that they have to believe or think there is some way out. Homosexuality is not a choice, I think you're born gay or you become gay however inevitably. It's completely normal.

Have sexual urges toward someone of the same sex is not your choice. This is something people have to understand. What you do about it is completely a different issue. People seem to believe that there is some kind of choice made. There isn't a choice. Yes, lust is a sin. So you CAN choose to have sex or resist the urge or have some kind of chastity. But the kind of urges you have are not your choices. I don't see how people can't understand that. I mean sometimes you look at somebody and you're attracted but what you do about it afterwards is your choice. I mean there are some people who give up sex forever and they even have no thoughts that pertain to it but what I'm saying is that if they choose to go back or have sex again they can't control which type of gender they're attracted to.

Answer 11

I didn't know that homosexuality was a "choice". My cousin is gay and I'm pretty darn sure he didn't "choose" to be gay. He just is. Being gay is just that...it is what it is.

Being part of a set of twins doesn't mean that they are going to both be hetero or gay for that matter. Have you seen the show "Little People, Big World"? That couple has twins and one is a little person and the other twin is average height. Get the point I'm making?

I think the confusion at a young age is just that kids don't understand their feelings and we are still a homophobic country (the US that is).
