There's only evidence that homosexual behavior exists, and that it's a natural phenomena.
There's zero evidence of rigid gender-restricted sexuality, which is what being "gay" entails.
so sexual orientation is made up by the medical community? links? facts?
"Although homosexual behavior is very common in the animal world, it seems to be very uncommon that individual animals have a long-lasting predisposition to engage in such behavior to the exclusion of heterosexual activities. Thus, a homosexual orientation, if one can speak of such thing in animals, seems to be a rarity."
Levay, Simon (1996). Queer Science: The Use and Abuse of Research into Homosexuality. Cambridge, Massachusetts: MIT Press. p. 207.
Homosexual behavior in animals - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Of course, the fact that these animals engage in homosexual sex implies that pure heterosexuality is also a rarity.
still waiting for factual proof that the medical community just made up sexual orentation
Sexual orientation is not made up, but such an orientation is a complex component of a person's psyche.

Accordingly, the notion that it consists of a simple binary classification based on an attraction toward one or the other gender is false. . .

If you're defining sexual orientation to mean either "gay" or "straight", then the article cited above proves that it's false, since none of those animals observed restricted their mating habits purely to one gender or the other.
so sexual orientation does, exist
thanks we knew that already
sorry theres nothing you posted that FACTUALLY proves sexual orientation does not exist . . . nothing
Did you know that it does not mean "gay" or "straight", i. e. being attracted only to the same gender or to the opposite one?
Your are mistaking action for orientation. Homosexuals are perfectly capable of having sex with those of the opposite sex, just as heterosexuals are perfectly capable of having sex with those of the same sex. There are multiple reasons to do so that have nothing to do with orientation, such as establishing dominance, sexual release in the absence of your prefered gender, and so on. All that can be reasonably said is that animals engage in sexual acts with those of the same gender. However, we can also say that humans have very definite orientation, and it is clearly defined.
so now you are claiming there's no such thing as heterosexual orientation or homosexual orientation?
You seem to have a reading problem. Read what I wrote before replying to it.
LMAO are you claiming this is proof?If you think that homosexual orientation exists, then why are there no gay animals, according to actual observed evidence?
nope not at all i just understand the difference between facts and your OPINION or others
you didnt post one thing that says sexual orientation doesn't exists. not one.
if you disagree post these FACTS now so i can let the medical community know they are wrong.
LMAO are you claiming this is proof?
how do we know theres no homosexual animals?
translation: you cant back up your statments lol
Simon Levay introduced the further caveat that "Although homosexual behavior is very common in the animal world, it seems to be very uncommon that individual animals have a long-lasting predisposition to engage in such behavior to the exclusion of heterosexual activities. Thus, a homosexual orientation, if one can speak of such thing in animals, seems to be a rarity."
Levay, Simon (1996). Queer Science: The Use and Abuse of Research into Homosexuality. Cambridge, Massachusetts: MIT Press. p. 207.
Why don't you post us some facts that prove that gay or straight animals, i. e. those that engage in purely homosexual or heterosexual sex w/the same species, exists.
nope not at all i just understand the difference between facts and your OPINION or others
let us know when you can, me, many others and the medical community will love to read it
I just did. . .
You, however, have yet to provide evidence of a single species that, under the proper controls, exhibits purely homosexual or heterosexual behavior w/the same species.
We're still waiting. . .
Let us know when you have something to refute the article's evidence. We're waiting. . .
If you understand that difference, post us evidence to defend your assertion that pure homosexuality or heterosexuality exists in Nature, given the proper scientific controls.
Translation: you still have ZERO facts that prove sexual orientation doesn't exist (be it homo/hetero or bi)
also FYI
this is about HUMANS and SEXUAL ORIENTATION which is not impacted by sex acts lol
let us know when you can, me, many others and the medical community will love to read it
another dodged that nobody educated
