[Discussion] Reasons Behind Homosexuality

[Kenotthib]

A lot of people say you don't choose to be homosexual (being careful with my word choice) you just are (born homosexual I suppose). This always confused me, I always thought that you chose to be homosexual through life experiences. Well tell me what you think do you think homosexuality is predetermined, chosen, or possibly both?

 

[Wolfus]

I think it's chosen. Nobody is born with a personality.(I guess)

PS: Be careful, the way people are nowadays, they might say you're being homophobical. It's funny how much this word is used but such small amount of people know it's meaning.

 

[Reaper]

I would say its the first few years of your life that affect it the most while at that time you dont rly even know about being gay/straight/bi as its a foreign subject to you.

So you chose to be straight? Did I chose to be straight? Tbh i'd rather be bisexual than straight but that is something I can't chose.

You are born as gay or straight. It's simple a fact.

 

[Souji]

Whoever thinks homosexuality is purely biologically inherent is, in my opinion, mistaken.

 

[Kettei]

I say you are born like that. I know some parents who are straight who gave birth to a Homosexual.

 

[Cursed Prince]

Its a choice of course You can be straight now, but then choose to be gay. They werent born that way. Sounds catchy though

We know several lineages through our genetics that point to homosexuality being a Biological trait, we just don't know the exact, underlying gene that gives it. Remember that, because our species has existed for 200,000 years and that favorable traits among our species persist through our generations, there must be SOMETHING in this gene that is favorable that helps homosexuality persist through our species. You did not choose to be heterosexual, because it is your sexual drive through your neurological wiring to desire the opposite ***.

But then again, you're not studying this AND Recombinant DNA at a university

Well isn't that how all Homo and Straight people are born?

You are born as gay or straight. It's simple a fact.

Oh, so when you were a baby, you were thinking(humm, look at that chick, she is so hot, I would totally give her my teddy bear).
No, I think it's a decision you make based on your first experiences related to this. But the sexual option is still a mistery, it has to be studied more carefully. We can't say that anything is a fact, because the scientists didn't conclude anything so far.
Besides, there a people who turn gay only in an advanced age(25, 26). So it's likely that they chose it.

 

[Parrish]

I honestly believe you're born either Gay or Straight. I also don't believe in Bi, but that's just my opinion.

 

[neilson]

To me we are all born bisexual, allowing us to either remain that way, or then choose a single part...as for homosexuality, its a path some people choose...and then tell themselves they can't help it...but I do feel bad for the fact that they are segregated cause its unfair.

 

[Henrik]

homosexuals are trash, thats it.

Its my opinion

Ahahah, came from the guy that is wanking Itachi 24/7. Get out of here.

Its a choice of course You can be straight now, but then choose to be gay. They werent born that way. Sounds catchy though

Are you serious?

Just to say it, we can all be tiny attracted by the same *** even if we are straight.

 

[FreakensteinAG]

Oh, so when you were a baby, you were thinking(humm, look at that chick, she is so hot, I would totally give her my teddy bear).

As a baby, you aren't psychologically nor physically developed enough to act upon your carnal desires, either. We're talking sexual, not mutual.

We can't say that anything is a fact, because the scientists didn't conclude anything so far.

The only thing we've concluded is how far-reaching this trait is (beyond 200,000 years into our lineage) and how it's present within several other traits to demand persistence within our species.

I think you misunderstood my statement. While the "gay gene" hasn't been confirmed (or thrown out), I agree that there may be biological aspects that cause such behavior and mentality. What I'm saying is that there are social, cultural, and psychological factors that help to facilitate the formation of the lifestyle.

Even if someone has the supposed "gay gene", if they spend their entire lives not knowing what the idea of homosexuality actually is, they may never delve into it.

I think both aspects have equal levels of influence on the person.

 

[FreakensteinAG]

What I'm saying is that there are social, cultural, and psychological factors that help to facilitate the formation of the lifestyle.

Oh yeah, that's true as well. Did you say this in your first post?....Oh yeah I think you did. you italicized "purely". My bad

Just as they can facilitate, social and cultural development can also suppress this trait. But no matter how much you suppress the feeling, you're still going to be heterosexual/homosexual because it's how you were physiologically wired (like those extremely homophobic guys in the WBC who, studies show, tend to be homosexual due to their social constraints as a child).

 

[reizon]

i think its different for male and female.

most women are born that way &
some women choose to be homo, its not a big deal for them.!!

for guys, most of them are born that way, i cant think of guys just deciding to go gay.

people are not born for the simple fact there is no gay gene. next i dont think you choose to be gay either. It just has alot to do with sexual morality

I know, that's why I said that, because I think it is a choice.

Oh yeah, there is that, but that barely helps figuring out what causes the homossexualism.

Its a choice of course You can be straight now, but then choose to be gay. They werent born that way. Sounds catchy though

"Your upbringing can influence what you find desirable and what you find repulsive. Most Americans would probably be nauseated if they learned that, when they thought they had been eating beef, they were, in fact, eating dog, even though there is nothing inherently unhealthy about dog meat." There are multiple of factors and variables when it comes to choice. Whether people believe/realize it or not, it is a choice. However, while it's a choice they might feel like it's not because of the "natural" reaction or attraction they might have. But what is not said is that it becomes known that their experiences as well as other variables affects their choice. Which is done "at times" unconsciously or as a reflex.
