If it became the acceptable thing to' come out' as gay, would homosexuality die off?

It's silly to think otherwise. C'mon man, I don't what they're teaching you in California about trends (oops), but you gotta be cave crazy (no homosexual pun intended...I think) to believe that there aren't girls who tell others that they're bisexual and get involved with kissing girls even though they have no true feelings for them but only want to elevate their social status.

Then they are not really gay are they?

I could be gay if I wanted to....

I don't know, but like I said, there were a few years where none of them were bisexual before ('93-'96), then a good deal of them were ('97-'99), and then they all weren't bisexual again ('00-'01). I moved to another city (not because of that, LOL) after '01 so I don't know if bisexuality rose to power again in that town.

Sexual experimentation is very common. Everywhere. Doesn't mean they were ever gay or bi. Just, 'curious'.

And thank you Debs for proving my point. She's not gay but could very much tell you she was if it thought it would elevate her social status with you.

So NO, they're not really gay...but if they tell you they are and since you're not inside their mind, you'll never know that they weren't. That's what being fashionably gay is, and like PVS said, there is a ton of it.

No, you could willingly make yourself have sex with another woman, but you could not willingly make yourself feel and be attracted to another woman as a true lesbian could. You're either born with it or you're not.

How do you know? Though I am not and am not interested in the same sex. Love is love, and ................

Well, the whole subject title is ....acceptable thing to 'come out' as gay...so I thought I'd at least stay on-topic. If you're really dead set on a yes/no boolean argument, then another gay thread might be suited for you.

Because I know I was born straight and did not choose to be attracted to women sexually, it just is. I might as well try to change my eye color through mental discipline if I thought I could make myself gay.

Poseurs...

Well like I said, I am not gay, but many people can do some experimentation and find out with knowing the person that they do love them and that they know that a person of the same sex would really know how to please them..........

Yes and like previously said, If i meet someone who says he/she is gay
she is gay to me because i dont know whats going on in their head(if they are acting or not).

In some ancient societies everyone was gay, and was taught to be gay... so I'm pretty sure it's not as genetic as one might think.

Yeah I tell all the girls I'm gay cuz they get all the chicks!

That's assuming that Gay-ness is the recessive trait. If on the other hand it is a dominant mutation, then the trait would die out over time without reproduction. The only source of new gay genes would be new mutations.

Even with the recessive gene it gay numbers would dwindle over time due to genetic drift and natural selection. It would just take longer.

No, recessive or dominant it can be passed on, you didn't pass the punnett square test.

wow....so my initial post has vanished and thus my point. oh well....at least robtard saw it so i know im not going mad

Last time I checked, it was only straight couples that are having gay kids... Two guys or two girls cannot reproduce, so homosexuality has always and will always be here. Unless of course science is able to single out and isolate the gay gene, then couples could weed out the gay aspect.

"has always"? If we assume that homosexuality is genetic then it must have arisen via mutation sometime in history. So it has a beginning. History is against it always being around as well. It is only in the past half century that it has become as big as it is. Some gay advocates say that there were just as many gays back then, but they wouldn't come out for fear of society. Again, evidence points in the other direction. Low divorce rates, More productive people with less psychological things going on, etc.

No, I don't think homosexuality is an eternal thing, it had a beginning, and we could stamp it out (if it were actually ethical to do so).

I'm soooooo glad Deb... next time try to be bisexual and see how much fun you'll have.

There is no gay gene.
