Well maybe not but I realized I was when I was 12 years old and at that time I would have done anything not to be.
I don't know.
No, saying you're gay and getting with ladies means you're not.
So, you are attracted to both sexes equally?
One theory says that homosexuals, given that they have no children of their own, would be more likely to help raise and protect their nieces and nephews. These kids would therefore be more likely to survive given that they have people besides their parents looking after them, and the recessive "homosexual gene" that they carry would be passed on and emerge later on down the line. In short groups/tribes/ families with homosexuals in them are more likely to raise their kids to a procreation age than those without.
Unless it's pleiotropy. Kind of like sickle cell anemia. Evolution didn't weed that out because it's a rare effect from having malaria resistant blood
I don't know environmental effects seem a bit far fetched. I married an identical twin and his brother is straight.
Straight would mean attracted to the opposite sex. A man attracted to the same sex but says he's straight is a liar.
I realized that was gay when I was 12 years old. I hated that about me. I did not want to be gay and tried probably for the next 12 years not to be. If there was a way to choose not to be it escaped me.
I think that poster is female. Maybe within her social circle while the attractive guys are gay
What happened when you were 12 years old that made you realize you were gay?
fascinating So if you don't know why you are gay, how do you know it's because of the gay gene rather than environmental factors?
LOL, your statement is directly contradicted by the source material you posted.
We don't. Leave the Nazi shit at home.
Generally I think the sort of thing is to square a particular circle. If we were to accept that gay people can't change their sexuality and it's not something that is that easy to do, then the religious beliefs that have been saying that it's wrong all this time we're actually wrong themselves and since people really really want their Church to be the actual Church of God and not just one of many flawed human interpretations it really take it personal that people can't change their sexuality.
Well said thank you.
About that time other boys started getting interested in girls. I felt that way about boys. I didn't want to, I wanted to be normal.
I don't know if it's because of a gene or environmental factors. I just find the environmental Factor as the sole cause to be unlikely. I married an identical twin his brother isn't gay.
Not necessarily.
That's bisexual you can identify that way but if you don't really you're lying.
I disagree with this argument. I think the reason gay men have lustful desires like straight men is because man is tainted by original sin. So that doesn't make homosexuality moral; in fact, it makes it immoral. God gave us the free will to act or not to act upon our lustful desires, and man ate the apple. That is why Christ died for our sins so he could redeem humanity's sinful nature.
interesting Was there any traumatic event in your childhood that could have played a role in your attraction to men? I have heard anecdotes about homosexuals who became gay after being molested.
Interestingly, you seem like a non-woke, open-minded, dare I say normal homosexual.
So why aren't straight men gay are they not tainted by original sin
So I am required to be perfect?
So I'm redeemed.
Not that I'm aware of
I was never sexually abused
I'm not woke, and I'm very open about this. I'm pretty thick skinned too. Ask me anything you want.
Straight men are also tainted by original sin; so they have lustful desires as well, but it is up to us not to act upon those desires before marriage.
You aren't required to be perfect, but rather you are encouraged not to act upon your sinful homosexual desires.
You are correct that Christ redeemed all believers, including homosexuals, but Christ's redemption is not a license to sin.
fair enough
same
Alright, I will ask a controversial question: have you ever had homosexual intercourse? If so, how did you find anal, aka "POOP," intercourse attractive? I suppose this question could go to the straights reading this thread as well.
In case you've not noticed, "straights" have been reading and responding to this thread all along.
But if they're tainted why aren't they gay?
What if you do you're not condemned
So don't love? Lustus a very tiny part of love. And I don't mind this to be personal at all but if you've been in a relationship it's long-term and someone you want to spend your life with you'll find out sex is not a huge part of it.
Well I definitely try not to soon and ask forgiveness when I do
Indeed
I've never had intercourse with poop. If you really want to know if you're going to do that you do a little prep. Let me know if I need to explain anymore.
I know a couple straight people that do anal.
I think just like straight intercourse it depends on the context. If it's someone you've committed to and it's an expression of love then it's what couples do. If it's just finding anyone you can to scratch an itch that's when it gets into the realm of sin.
I have known men who were sexually abused as children both straight and gay. The difference I see between straight and gay men regarding this is straight men seem a little more reluctant to talk about it.
