Homosexuality: Chosen or Genetic?

First of all, the "chemical imbalance" theory has not been proven, but even if it were, it would not be an imbalance. What we are talking about here is "chemical differenciation," which does not imply a positive or a negative.

If for some reason your unborn child was going to turn out as having a skin color different from "white," and there was a substance that you could inject into yourself that would make him/her white, would you use it?

"The inability to accept common differences found in gender,religion, race, etc. leading to irrational detachment, misunderstanding, and/or hostility" is a definition for what word?

I think its a Blinder that Satan puts on people, is why some are gay. He lies to them and they believe it and most don't even know he's doing it.

Isn'y homosexuality bassically the instinct to reproduced was missing at birth and in some casses the person might get "confussed" and become homosexual? I don't know but thats what I herd and it makes sense, but I don't think homsexuality is genetic, becasue as said, matting witht he same sex is impossible, unless you mated with another sex first or after... Yet that may change in women, as offspring CAN be made using 2 eggs. (has been tested)

Why haven't i seen this thread earlier?
I read alot of stuff if homosexuality is a disease, or genetic imbalance or what ever. I don't think there is a point in this discussion. I'm a gay man and i have never really cared about this. Ofcourse some point in my life i asked myself why i was the way i am but to me (i found out) it's no different than drinking coffee or opening the garage door. I haven't read everything coz i get dizzy scroling for all the post but the one guy who does have a point is the TurboCajun Guy. You see every one has different views on this and they differ a lot. genetic, mistake by nature, cultural influence, child abuse, divorced parents. They can all be to somewhat influence but to me it's different. I think cajun allready said it that some people like to say that they were born that way. But i was born this way. If i look back i have had an average testosterone driven upbringing by my father. He still has some difficulties with it but that's an other subject. I can't say i was influnced in anyway. Not Showbizz or people around me. My paretns are still together and i was never abused in my life. I hope this was to somekind of help to understand my kind.

Thanks man, I was hoping that someone from your perspective would come along and say whether or not we are along the right track or not on this thread. I'd hate to think that I was wasting all my time here saying things that were wrong the whole time.

No your time was well spent. I didn't know there wasa philosophy thread.

Fierry Eyes, I am going to still call you dude... female or male... still dude. All my friends, male or female, still dude...

Thanks for clarifying that though.

lol k yw

Yeah, its a decent place to chill... a lot of time things get off track and most boil down to hardcore religion vs hardcore aethiesm and the thread goes down the toilet... not everyone falls into those categories (I don't really), but yeah some interesting things come up every now and then. Sometimes I don't post here for days and days, and like the last 24 hrs I posted probably 60+ different posts on some of these top threads, so yeah come back sometime...

yes posting can get addicting lol

It was heated debate... I couldn't let them have the last say 😛

FE> Your bigottry never seizes to amaze me. If I didn't know better, I'd say that you, who claims to be hearing the voice of God, has chosen your religion, so you can look down on other people.
I think Satan has got the better of you - because your Jesus clearly teaches you to love and care for all your fellow man and NOT judge them.
You do. Hypocrite.

So is depression... that doesnt mean that everyone who is depressed was given a depression gene that caused that imbalance. People can develope that imbalance due to social pressures and environmental influences. I can't remember what your angle was on this again, but that fact really doesn't prove anything, other than Gay people have a chemical imbalance in thier brain.

I refuse to choose. I was born 'straight' so to speak, and yet when I hit 15/16 I realised that I appreciated the female form. I am not gay, I suppose I'm what you'd call 'bisexual'. But I certainly didn't have an interest in women as soon as I started getting an interest in sex. That took a couple more years. So I'd say that although, genetically, I became naturally interested in sex, my preferences are more down to my experiences and open mindedness.

Maybe here, but on average we are close to genius level intelligence (or are), and are all abnormal.

1.If on average humans are stupid, and we are clever, we are unbalanced
2.Actually i would, as he would think he was adopted, and would cry loads.

Just because it is not based upon genetics does not mean its a matter of personal choice. I do not believe that being a homo is either a choice or a genetic trait, but rather a matter of environmental influences.

yu're exactly right.
well you cant trade it, just to think: i wanna try what it is like. 😆

um..buffymitch, i know ure gay and u prolly know more than me but i ahve tons of gay firends,a dn im sure its not gentic, see, not bcuz u werent abused or ure parents got divorced etc. means that it cant b psycological, mayb u used to b juyst curious about the sexes found this homosexuality and found it quite comfotting, but per say when... ppl dpont laugh this is an adult convo, u were a kid, didnt u went through staright porn websites, sometimes masturbate? i mean, that usually happened at least to all the gay ppl I know, but later they just start growing interest in this homosexuality,and start "practising" it...
