Homosexuality is a choice? Never been proved.

We know better than that, don't we? ;)

He can't answer the question I asked him and now he's deflecting. His OP is filled with implied judgment and criticism. Apparently he isn't here to learn . . . just to throw **** against the wall and see if it sticks.

Personally, I think one is either born that way orrrrrr a switch is thrown at a very early age by 'who knows what'. And the switch works both ways. Maybe someday . . .

You know I'm nothing if not fair. Of course I'll take a gander at your question. Actually, it has not been proven that homosexuality is a choice either. So science leaves the door open for both possibilities, either it's a choice or one is born that way. A third option also exists, according to a recent Swedish study (shoutout to my peeps) it's possible that neonatal conditions actually influence the development of the brain in such a way that it could, conceivably, influence sexual preference later in life.

If course these are all just postulations, nothing has been determined one way or the other.

Props your way, Peter Grimm. ;)
 
Not sure it makes any difference whether it's a choice our not.

People who are gay say that it isn't, who is anybody to tell them otherwise?

See, you're just a trouble maker.

It's never been proven that a person is born gay.

A fact that may be uncomfortable to all the pro-gay activists out there today, however a fact nonetheless.

Cold. Hard. Science.

LMAO end stupid and failed thread
 
Peter Grimm said:
Why should it give me pause?

What I did was open a thread by stating a simple fact: it's never been proved by science that anyone is "born gay." I just told you another fact, that the matter HAS been studied but that it STILL hasn't been conclusively determined that people are born gay.

What you choose to do with that information, where you choose to go with it, that's entirely up to you.

I'm having a blast seeing people's responses. People just assume I'm trying to make a point and, at least in the OP, I didn't even imply an opinion one way or the other. One guy even called me a bigot. How terribly rude.

Genetic links have been found, you can ignore that if you like. It appears to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

Why is that important to you?
 
Peter Grimm said:
Oh it's been studied. Millions of dollars have been poured in to the research. Just none of it came out how the gay rights activists would have liked.

Links to reputable studies to back your claim?
 
Peter Grimm said:
I don't see the appeal. How can you be laying on the beach, see a man laying on a towel with his hairy man-ass and say to yourself....."oh yeah, I gotta have THAT."

Makes no sense to me.

So you were just born that way, not liking guys or did you make that choice?
 
lizzie said:
Well, since I doubt it can proven, this is really no surprise, but it's pretty easy just to take a look around and realize that indeed, some people are born gay, while others are not. Can you prove that anyone is born heterosexual, aside froom looking at his or her behaviors and preferences?

I just know if gays were born that way then they could never change....well there do all the time....so called gay men get married, their wives have babies and they raise a family and don't give me this bi sexual ****.

Someone still doesn't understand the difference between sexual behaviour and orientation.

A straight man can have sex with another man and not be gay.

A gay man can have sex with a woman and still be gay.

Very simple stuff here Navy keep up.
