Gay Gene?

I have NEVER read proof one way or the other. I personally think homosexuality is something that cannot be chosen. It just is. Again, thats strictly my opinion:o

 

It's fine if that's your opinion, I respect that. But when you spend half of your life in puberty trying desperately to force arousing thoughts about women onto yourself, each one of which do not work, I think you know if it's a choice or not. ;)

It can't be environment. I said it before and I'll say it again: a child who is raised by a same-sex couple has been confirmed to have no differences with that of a child who's been raised by a heterosexual couple. I can say it many times, it's not environment.

Some people have heard that it occurs in the first 6 years of your life. This would make sense, because according to my child development class, in that time frame, who you are as a person is mapped out. But at the same time, this would mean environment, so it's unlikely that this is true.

 

Environment as in who you are raised by. Broken homes are very common, a girl who is raised by only a father tends to have more masculine charactaristics and boys who are raised by only a mother have more feminine characteristics. This does not equate to homosexuality 100% of the time but it is true and does contribute in some cases.

 

Hmm...I don't think there is a gay gene...though some people discover it early in their lives. I've known a few gay people, and most of them decided that they were gay some time during elementary school or middle school. So I suppose it just depends.

 

Please indulge me by telling me why those people would choose a hard life such as that?

 

the whole point is they dont choose. they cant help it if they are attracted to the same sex and not the opposite, thats how this whole debate got started, the fact that people have no choice making it a possibility that ts genetic.

 

That's exactly my point. I want to know why the people who do think it's a choice would think that a gay guy or gay girl would choose a hard life. It would be stupid to do so.

 

it would only be hard if other people made it hard, and (i hope) society has moved on and matured. people do what makes them happy.

 

See this? This is the laws of homosexuality in the world. I doubt society has moved on completely yet.

First, they have to prove to the people who think it's a choice that it's not a choice, but something you're born with.

Then, they predict that after THAT is fulfilled, they have to prove to those same people that we don't have a disease (which many people already think in that light).

For this, no. I don't think it's a choice. I know it isn't.

 

there will always be people in this world who are ignorant and will hate someone for being different to them, those are the people we need rid of.

back on topic:D , it could be a gene it might not be but are we all decided that its not a choice?

 

Oi, I definitely agree that it's not a choice.

And Jest, that was an intersting map . Thank you for posting it.

 

ugh the world is such an unfair and stupid place, thats as bad as saying anyone who has brown eyes in Saudi Arabia should be given the death penalty, its the same principle.

 

So true. But there is improvement in society. Did ya know that in the 50-60s they use to use a kind of brainwashing to change what gays like?
And it was counted as a serious disease...

But still, even nowadays gays are looked down upon...but, atleast there's an improvement.
A really slow improvement -_-

 

one of those "weve started it now but itll be our great-great-great-great grandchildren who will benefit" changes?

 

Hmph, probably. I haven't read the whole thing...Hell, I don't even know if I can find it anymore.
But I'll post it here if I do.

 

No thats what I was saying. Youre just that way, its not a choice! Im totally with you on this

 

Luckily, if you look at the homosexual movement in comparison to other historical movements, this movement IS still moving a great deal faster..

 

I love humanity. It's people I can't stand.

*edit*

The quotation didn't go through so I went manual on it.

 

Um... you kinda lost me there.
Thanks for all your postings, Jest!

 

What? Thats very very very confusing
