Homosexuality: Chosen or Genetic?

Genetic..if someone is homosexual..and they get joked on and stuff...they don't 'decide' not to be a homosexual, they cant help it. Don't you think they would have a craving for the opposite sex all the time if it wasn't genetic..?

i say genetic cause one. to be a homosexual you have to have sort of female hormones. and just overnight you cant decide to go that way. its by birth.

It's both.

its not both. its by birth dude. seriously the way you know if your straight or gay is when you hit puberty. me im straight but i got no beef with homosexuals.

^ I completely agree...but you already know that, don't you?

¡Me hablo Español!

....

Frosty Bev how can it be both?It is the person's choice.It has nothering to do with being born as one.There is no proof that anyone can be born gay.
I still think it is a lame excuse for people to think they can't help it when th ey can.JM

jackie how can it be the persons choice? seriously, explain that to me? explain why anyone would want to possibly (worst case scenario) alienate everyone they care about? come on? grow the f*ck up... whats lame is you coming in here and not backing up your argument.

I still think it is a lame excuse for people to think they can't help it when th ey can

she's 6 give her a break

666?.......now wait that dude would have agreed with us since it is agains the this so called god(s) will

No sometimes you can't help falling inlove.But that does not mean that they are not born gay.How does this prove that they are born gay?JM

Wow talk about a intense tread, my only opinion on this subject is that to each his own, whatever makes you happy I guess. I would say it is by choice more then genetic because I have known of only one person from our family that was gay, and there isn’t any history of it in our family.

You do understand the difference between "genetic" and "hereditary"?

And there is the proof that you are saying.Gays choose to be gay nothering to do with being born as one.JM

We're saying that it's not a CHOICE. For the probably hundredth time...you CANNOT control who you fall in love with. Period.

Maybe when you're a little older and fall in love you'll understand this.

There's no proof for either side is there? I mean if there is then why have this debate? If there's already proof that one side is correct than it wouldn't be open to interpretation anymore.

No there is none.But we all believe in different things.So we should respect other thoughts.And I do,Sort of.JM

can YOU help falling in love??? oh wait ehhh lets speak again in a 10 years time and then tell me if you can choose who you fall in love with

OK, "peeps", it is time for an education.

Homosexuality has little to do with environmental influence. Studies have been done and it has been discovered that homosexuals and heterosexuals often have similar childhood experiences in the fields of: parental relationships, childhood sexual experiences, peer relationships, and dating experiences. Also, homosexuals who go through therapy programs via churches and the like have limited success--so, even if they desperately WANT to be heterosexual, they seem to be unable to do so.

There are also a host of biological differences between homosexuals and heterosexuals.

Brain differences.

The hypothalamic cell cluster is larger in straight men than in women and gay men (the same difference is seen in sheep showing same-sex versus other-sex attraction).

Gay men have a larger corpus callosum than women or straight men.

Genetic influences.

Shared sexual orientation is higher among identical twins than among fraternal twins.

Sexual attraction in male fruit flies can be genetically manipulated.

Prenatal hormonal influences.

Altered prenatal hormone exposure may lead to homosexuality in humans and other animals.

Men with several older brothers are more likely to be gay.

Observed homosexual-heterosexual differences in:

Spatial abilities.
Fingerprint ridge counts.
Auditory system.
Handedness.
Occupational preferences.
Relative finger lengths.
Gender noncomformity.
Age of male puberty.
Male body size.

That is a very good synopsis. 🙂
