I couldn't "choose" to be homosexual no matter how hard I tried or wanted to. So it's not a choice, that much is certain.

you can't choose to be bi-polar either, but once diagnosed, there is treatment.
thus, what's certain is, if being gay is a state of mind and not genetic/reality (something one can see), then where's the treatment?click to expand

And then again by your logic, hetrosexuality is 'sane' because it's a norm and it needs no further explanation, while homosexuality needs 'scientific' explaining for it to rightfully exist?
Anyway, bi and homosexual behaviour is very common in the animal kingdom as well, basically we're animals too so that's where the discussion ends for me.click to expand

That's precisely the reason why I find 'molestation-->homosexuality' is a problematic concept.
Results of abuse are known to manifest in the form of substance abuse, self-injury & countless other psychological afflictions. But conflating sexual orientation with mental illness is inaccurate and an outdated practice(prior to the '70s, coming out as gay was grounds for being institutionalized in the U.S.).

Scientist have observed small populations of different speices of animals as being homosexual. Many in fact.
Homosexuals have been with us all throughout history. I don't believe its a choice,I didn't come to some crossroads in life and make a major decision...I didn't go "hmmmmmmm, gay or straight, both look like attractive options, but I think I'll with straight."

It doesn't make sense that one of the first man/woman to walk on earth was a homosapien? or it just doesn't make sense that homosexuality is natural and it could be genetic.
How does it not make sense that..ok.. maybe .. SOME..were born homosexuals? This is found in nature.
Hormone imbalances varies for every individual. "Your endocrine system is a complex network comprised of integrated hormone-producing glands and organs. Its function, like that of the nervous system, is communication; the endocrine system produces and releases different types of hormones to maintain and control a number of important functions throughout the body, including growth and development, metabolism, and tissue function. A hormone imbalance (either too much or too little hormone volume) can have a drastic effect on body function....A number of different conditions can affect the way the endocrine system functions. Some of these conditions are natural: our endocrine system functions differently when we age, for example. There can be a genetic, or hereditary, component to the way an individual's endocrine system works as well."

I GO WITH BORN THAT WAY
HETRO
HOMO
BI
LIKE MY SISTER SAYS SHE HAS THREE KIDS ONE OF EACH SEX.
WE LOVE HER JUST LIKE THE OTHER TWO
WHEN SHE WAS JUST A LITTLE GIRL SHE WAS PLAYIJG WITH BOY TOYS AND OUT IN THE MUD DOING BOY THINGS.
SO BELIEVE WHAT YOU WANT BUT WHEN THEY START LIFE KNOWING WHAT THEY ARE BEFORE THEY GO THROUGH THE CHANGE IN MY HUMBLE OPIN THEY ARE BORN THAT WAY.

I guess homosexuality is in our genes and sexual orientation will be an individual's choice (?). Although the safety and health of individual and others must be put into account.
I am not for the idea of sex change, because it has permanent consequences and the mind may change preferences. Also, maybe if society were more accepting of gay and lesbians, maybe physical changes to the body would then be an unnecessary choice.
The nonacceptance creates more confusion and more resistance.

In time I believe that homosexuality will not matter and that gray asexuality (including demisexuality) and panromance will become more prevalent.

Woopss excuse me Caligula.
I posted about hormone imbalance yes, but I wasn't too sure if it could be genetic. I posted too soon about hormone imbalance not considering it as genetic.
You said that it's just for sex, so I am asking you, would rape then be nothing but a sexual desire.
You have your own contradiction and since you don't know as well, maybe you are a degenerate sign yourself. Two people have explained it in this discussion, but you refused it. So maybe you don't want to accept the fact that homosexuality is genetic? After all, you were having a "heated" argument about something that you don't even have proof about.

caligula- I never said gay= transgendered. I'm just putting it out there, the more people scrutinize gays and lesbians the more people would want to go under surgery for sex change. I have a friend who was gay since childhood, he was cross dressing and now he is transgendered. A lot of people teased him and I think he would have been comfortable as a gay individual, but people would say "but you have a dick".

Sexuality has its own "race" and the more people like you don't respect* that, then the more we'll see some drastic changes. There are black people who bleach their skin so they can look lighter and this has a lot to do with racism. Sexuality is another race, that you may or may not understand, but for the sake of humanity you have to accept. Also, if you refused the idea regarding that "homosexuality" is seen in nature- in the animal kingdom then you really are not for the idea of homosexuality being genetic.

Posted by xygeneration
No, but transgendered starts from homosexuality. If you have friends who are transgendered, you'd understand.

To address concerns about the rate of procreation, humanity clearly isn't on the verge of endangerment. Conversely the current challenge is over-population; the birth rate has yet to experience a significant decline. Despite the availability of contraception and preventative education, unwanted children and orphans exist worldwide, therefore one's inability to reproduce is irrelevant in that it doesn't necessarily prevent couples from raising children(albeit not their biological offspring).
And let's not pretend natural occurrence is parallel to normality. The force of nature is, to this day, largely unpredictable and spontaneous.

Genetic and biochemical cause yet to be discovered =/= no genetic or biochemical correlation present.
At one point in history, seizures and hallucinations were widely viewed a sacred experience. During this period, man was without means or knowledge to determine the root of said occurrences.
Misconception has always been the go-to wherever there is a lack of concrete data, but why side with the status quo simply because 100% evidence isn't *currently* available? A few years of well-executed research can change a lot in terms of theory versus fact.

oh really?
human sexuality "consistent and LASTING?" explain that to the bitch in forum "x" who's really pissed off that her FWB situation wasn't consistent or LASTING.
How might this relate to sexual orientation, though?click to expand

Did these findings factor in the prevalence of rape/forced encounters in correctional facilities, or determine whether or not said relations were in fact consensual? Porn stars may choose to act outside their realm of preference for revenue, however in prison the consequence of resisting another inmate could mean life-or-death. If participating in homosexual acts in effort to remain alive qualifies as 'personal gain' and not sheer desperation, color me surprised.

you assume that all homosexual sex in prison is forcible. false assumption. never heard "toss my salad?" in fact, in the documentary that inspired that term, one of the prisoners was very candid and stated that prison officials should provide condoms. everyone knows there's sex in prison...consensual and yes, ass rape too.click to expand

Iv'e always said prisoners would have a field day with my ass. The soft pale milky skin. The fullness. The roundness. The perkiness. (For a white guy this is impressive btw) and the wobble. Not to mention perfect amount of muscle tone. Those bad boys wouldn't last 2 minutes.click to expand

oh and AA, don't be worried about people's perception of you. if you like the feel of a man's member, so be it. you don't have to explain it to me or anyone else. frankly, i like it too. with that said, don't try to convince me it's something beyond a big, hard dick that you desire. as you said, "for some strange but beautiful reason, another mans boner feels so much more magnificent then your own."

What also confounds/angers me is that some in the LGBT community try to equate the trials that they have endured to that of racial minorities. It's insulting actually. Science can affirm "race." Whether it be via DNA or a genetic trait such as Sickle Cell Anemia or Tay-Sachs, science has a means to identify a person's "racial" makeup. In addition, reality can affirm "race." I can SEE that a person is of African, Asian or Native American descent, but can the same be said of homosexuals? No.
First, science has yet to prove that homosexuality is bio-chemic. In other words, there is no genetic or hormonally indicators that deem a person gay/straight.
And second, reality does not validate homosexuality either. A man can put on make up and talk in a high pitched voice, but that doesn't make him gay. Unlike a black man who LOOKS black, a man may LOOK gay, but that doesn't mean he is. In other words, the black man can't shed his skin, a gay man can.
Because science and reality can not prove the "born this way" theory, is it any wonder that homophobia exists and in some ways, is justified? Is it not insulting to think that one should believe something just because you say it's so? In a way, how is this any different from those who believe in Creationism vs. Evolution?
Science validates Evolution...the world is not a couple thousand years old. Reality validates Evolution...dinosaur bones aren't man made and yet, their are those who would like us to disregard the science and reality and "have faith."
In this way, homosexuals and Christian fundamentalists have a lot in common. Each would like us to believe in something that can not or has yet to be proven and if that be the case, why then would any one be wrong in asserting that both factions are full of shit?
