I never felt homo, but we always introduced the idea of bi to explore it when we were 11 or 10 etc. We still have not solved that because the word just sounded good still. I'm completely against saying being homo is funny, though. I tell people their mistakes like this are their choice, and the issue goes then to that you want to know what they based their choice on. I do feel my friends are homo, but I know about that because I moved away when I was 12, though I was never that way. It's usually due to some parental "weakness" and that marks the end of most of my intelligences. I usually consider, if it's so genetic, that someone who is homo might be bi or something in the rainbow, that homo people always feel a lot, while straight people don't have to. That usually changes throughout life, as well. Most of what I think is trying to prove that others are homo, so it's a complicated thing to try to answer in a short period. I almost feel that it's the same thing as when I don't know if my friends are good or evil since forever. Same sort of feeling.
I just don't understand how it isn't genetic. I didn't choose to like men, and have to deal with the family/social hardships that come from it. It sucks that my best friend's little brother gets his friends to listen to me talk and laugh at the fact that I'm different. I would be straight in a heartbeat if I could... but I can't.
I'd definitely say both. You 'choose' to be yourself and stop denying it. I'm gay, and I can believe in the 'genetic' side, because the middle child of my generation all of my relatives is either gay or lesbian. I think that one was molested, but the rest??

I hope I don't offend anyone, but it has always been my firm belief that a persons sexual desires are determined by their state of mind... If I were to believe in a genetic sexual predisposition I would also have to agree that someone in a vegetative state was capable of functioning without a brain. This is not true. I have a sexual preference for skinny women while my friend likes plump women, this is also a choice, I wasn't born feeling this way but became attracted over time to this type of women. However if I were born in the late 1800s when it was more attractive for men to desire larger women I am almost certain my wife would be voluptuous. The same rule applies to people who are attracted to the same gender IMHO.......
Is it that time of year when we dig this old thread out of mothballs?
