Is homosexuality a choice? Empty Is homosexuality a choice?

Post by Steve Sun Nov 08, 2009 6:01 am



lots of discussion in the chatbox last night made me think this would be a good debate.

I can understand why people want to think its something people choose, its harder to hate people over things they have no control over.

I think anyone could be and they don't necessarily know until their late teens or later.

Homosexuality is not a bad thing, nor it it something they choose.

did you watch the video ahmed? I'm using that to show how it isn't a choice to begin with. It is up to you to highlight the errors in that and disprove them.

Just watch it, what are you afraid of?

I expect arguments to be backed up with external sources so videos are pretty useful.

Blue: it's a calming color, but we don't decide that. It just happens to be
pizza: tastes good, but that's not up to us. We were born with our taste buds and minds. We don't suddenly decide to love pizza.
Read Harry Potter: well written

any more? Btw, those are completely irrelevant

I'd also like to point out that a rhetorical question is a question not meant to be answered.

Yes you do actually. Unless you are saying that humans have different brains and taste buds. Since all humans have the same brains with different levels of smartness) and the same taste buds, then we should all like the saem things. hwoever, that isn't what happens becasue we have choices.

Fang was saying he wants you to answer his question.

Off topic: We all have different brains, they are who we are, because everyone is unique that makes all brains unique.

i think our taste buds are mainly the same but brains can interpret the signals from them differently.

I want you to answer my question.

Also, I meant that some people don't like pizza, but you can't just say "I don't like pizza" and suddenly hate it.

If homosexuality is a choice, then you go become gay right now and actually enjoy it. Right now.

I believe that it is a choice, that could be influenced by a number of factors including psychological trauma, hormonal imbalance, or some childhood experience/event that occurred.

It's not natural, or normal. That is my belief.

Cheers. Smile

i think that accepting homosexuality is poisoning today's youth and leading them to corruption. homosexuality is a genetic disorder and should be treated as so.

If it is then its a very sad one, and everyone should feel sorry for the poor folk who have it.

Everyone, please watch the video in the first post. How can it be natural if it happens in nature too.

genetic mutation also happens in nature, it's called evolution and gays are the equivalent of dodo's

Animals eat each other. I guess we should start becoming cannibals since it's in nature.

actually cannibalism is only in some species, many animals will only feed on other species unless driven to the brink of death. not all animals are the same you know.
