Is homosexuality a choice?

Yes, in fact, you will

Prove Fang. Evidence Fang. Evident your argument to me!

well assuming all biological materials have the ability to evolve, from single cell organisms and complex ones then it would only take one odd jumping gene to produce a "gay"

Wait pried before I debate. Take a stand. Is it a choice or is it "natural"? It seems that you have different opinions at different times.

I believe its something you have the power over and can slightly control...

being gay is a natural mutation, that is my stand. i also feel that gays should be reformed to live properly not by forcing them to love the opposite sex but to not love there own.

I think the best thing to do is to let them get on with it, I don't see why people so regularly think they have the rights to meddle in another persons life in such a big way.

I think the only thing they have control over is if they tell other people or not, and who would want to tell people who think it has to be cured?

religious buildings and psychiatrists have been trying to cure gayness for so long without any successful results. All it does it make the person feel shamed and rejected.

If being gay was a choice, why is it that a man who was about to commit suicide because of all the abuse he was getting from being gay didn't decide to just stop being gay? Or why don't the people killed in Arab countries decide to suddenly stop being gay before they can do something punishable by death?

Thank you, Flame.

simply because they never tried to stop...

I'm sure if they were going to die people would try to avoid it. Also if it was a choice people wouldn't be gay from birth, and it would be easier to decide to be straight again when they are put under pressure.

how do you know they were born gay?

Actually you're wrong. Someone I once knew had a gay friend. Everyday people would ridicule him and abuse him, etc. until he was about to commit suicide. He tried to stop being gay but it didn't work, much like I can't magically stop myself from liking who I do now.

Of course, Flame, he got his gay gene from his gay parents right?

LOL@AHMED!!!!!!

yes it is..... i think its just completely abnormal.

Ahmed, you are so *expletive* ignorant it's not even funny.

Answer my question Fang.

Being gay is only a choice if you make it one. There are many people out there who have just decided to be gay/lesbian because its more accepted now then before, and some people like feeling unique. The TRUE gay people on the other hand didn't have a choice, it was just how they turned out, genetic mutation or w/e. You can't force them to not be gay, yet they can of course suppress their emotions on the other hand just like a lot of us hetero's do everyday(that girl you like yet wont ask out...etc...). I, personally don't really care either way about gay's as long as they leave me alone, I leave them alone.
...Lesbians on the other hand....

i honestly think that being gay is caused by something drastic that happened in someone's life. Many homos were either malested, sexually asualted, abused, or abandoned, or just lived a bad childhood. i think that some ppl are gay because they were affected by others around them. i knew many grls in high school who were straight n started hangin out with lesbians and then after a couple of months what do u know they became lesbians too. thats why im strongly against gay marriage because children will grow up thinking that being gay is normal.

O.k i'm really against gayness and what not...but seriously I want a ligit "scientific" statement about whether or not being gay is a choice (even though I think it is a choice)

i dont think its a choice i just think its like a pshychological problem or it happened due to factors in one's life. there probably were studies about it

There are alot of hetrosexuals who have been though things which are as bad or worse than what you described. And no-one gets a life which is all sun shine and happiness.

Perhaps the people who you thought were straight were actually too ashamed to give in to some of their emotions. Sometimes people are drawn to others who can do something they don't think is possible, and after seeing how the out of the closet lesbians were living their life... Perhaps they wanted that.

being gay is normal, alot of gay men and women grew up in a heterosexual family and that didn't stop them from being gay. I think gay people have more understanding of the importance of knowing yourself. There's no reason why gay couples can't raise straight children.

Being Gay is not normal. Even YOU steve said that it might have been gotten by mutations in the genes. That means it's a disease that should hopefully be cured.

It is always a choice. There is no such thing as a "TRUE GAY". If it is a genetic mutation then you are saying that it is a disease? If you agree, then it should be cured, no?

Wake up noob. Lesbians also have a disease. 0_0

'Nuff said.
