I believe that is can genetic or choice. I would be more on the side of genetic though!

It's definitely not a choice. Scientists have proven that it isn't. They've proven that gay men have brains shaped like straight women and gay women like straight men. They're just not sure if it's genetic or something that happens while the child is in the womb or what.

If you don't believe me, then just look it up.

Why would anyone choose to be something that is hated? Why would people over in other countries choose to be gay, knowing that people will kill them over it? I don't understand why anyone would think for a second that it is a choice.

what if a guy or a girl, that has been living a hetrosexual life, one day-art the age of 21, decides to sleep w/ the same sex and finds out that they like it? Choice or not? I think choice. What about bi-sexuals? They hace chosen to sleep w/ the same as well as opposite sex.  CHOICE, right?

Gay people live as hetero's all the time until something happens where they realize that they're gay or bisexual. I'm 25 & realized only at the age of 23 that I was a lesbian. It's def not by choice. It's who I am. I can't change that.

But there are people who sleep with the same sex just to do it & not for the emotions...mostly girls!!

& there are plenty of gay people who think they were born gay. It's different for everyone.

You started this thread to get peoples points of view but then you are nitpicking everything they are giving their opinion on. You shouldnt start a conversation if you dont like what people have to say. ::)

 :( My opinion : They are not born that way...they are made and it is their own choice, confused choice. It is related to life experiences!

metro, what an ignorant post. :bs: It's not a choice. You're obviously not gay so you know NOTHING about the matter. I'm very shy, & not open & I didn't choose to be something that sometimes I feel ashamed to be because I'm scared of how ignorant people can be. I don't choose to be something that I have to hide from most family members because of their beliefs. If it were a choice, NO ONE would be gay.  ::)

Wow, I sure am glad that I "chose" to be straight! I'm always amazed by the ignorance people show about subjects like this.

Believing that people are gay by choice is NOT ignorant. If it's what someone chooses to believe, then by all means, they have EVERY right to believe it. Because JUST like an opinion, a belief can be neither right nor wrong, as technically, a belief is nothing more than an opinion. To call someone ignorant because of their beliefs or opinions is, well, ignorant.

Now as far as whether or not I believe gay people are gay by choice or by birth... Honestly, I don't care. It's not my life, not my problem. It's theirs. So as long as it doesn't affect me, they can be what they want, regardless of if it's choice or birth.

My whole point is, someone giving an opinion on a subject they know nothing about.

I'm a girl & that's like me having an opinion on what it's like to be a boy :dontknow:

I think you are born that way.  Sure there are some people that may want to experiment and see what it's like but for the most part I think it's just how you are from birth.

I agree completely with AXEL. I don't care if one is gay, straight, crooked, purple, green, or gray...hm they might be dead if they were gray, but anyways, people are people. I don't give a monkey's butt what orientation a person is. We are all human beings!  :icon_rr:

I really don't know if it genetic or a learned behavior, but I really don't care. I firmly believe to each their own. I have many gay freinds and we have one rule...we do not discuss our bedroom activities. They have been awesome friends of mine for many years, some of the best in fact. We all agree that people need to stop making such a big deal about their lifestyle choices. They do not pay my bills or live in my home, so it is not up to me to tell them who to be attracted to. As ong as they are safe about their activities, who am I to judge?

First of all it doesn't matter to anyone but the person themselves.  Second, you are either born being gay or you are born being straight.  It just takes some people longer than others to realized whether they are gay or straight.  I know that socity has a lot to do with why some people don't accept that they are gay and therefore they are going to "stay in the closet" or are on the "down-low".  Personally I think that you are who you are and judgement should not be an option.

I think its genetic but people choose the lifestyle.  Lets take it away from sexuality and look at obesity.  I definitely think there are genes involved in obesity, but instead of fighting the urge to eat and exercise which is needed for the body to remain in shape, they choose to eat and eat large quantities.  So, going back to the subject, I think people are born to be attracted to certain sex, but make the choice as to who they find attractive.  Therefore you have bisexuals or people who were heterosexual but now choose to be homosexual. 
You are right, everyone has their right to their opinion - however, I have to say this: being gay is not a fad!  Who would choose to follow the crowd to be ridiculed and rejected, often times abused?  Fine, say its a choice, say its genetic, a little both, but not a fad.

I think it's just how you grow up, how you're influenced and what you watch, say, and do.

I don't know I'm not a homosexual. I think the only people who truly know are homosexuals. And the better question is "does it really matter?" If they're happy with each other let them be together.

Actually I had good knowledge of biology and it is a mixture of genetics and environment. Although it may not necessarily run in a family certain genetic traits like homosexuality can be triggered by a person's environment. The choice comes from this natural instinct.

I am not educated enough to answer this question with a million scientific facts but I have a lot of homosexual friends and the reasons vary that's for sure.  Some say they were born with these tendencies, others have experimented a little, and a couple just can't make up their minds as to which gender they prefer.  All relationships are based on whether or not a person is getting what they need, whether it be physical or emotional.
