With the logic that people can CHOOSE whether or not they're homosexual, we are all basically gay because we must be attracted to both sexes (since there is nothing in our brains that seperates heterosexuals and homosexuals). Just SOME people control it and others don't. Odd, amirite?

Your brain is you, so if your brain choose, you choose.

Actually that's not it at all. The logical option is that we are born straight, and some people do wrong and have it in their mind that they are gay, because it's what they desire to do. It's a desire, if you let yourself believe your gay, you're gonna be gay.

Yeah, because every gay person chooses to be that way so they can be tormented and bullied, made fun of, and (in some cases) socially ostracized. That makes tons of sense. I'm not saying that every single gay person is bullied or ostracized, but come on. Who would choose that?

someone who wants to be gay. someone who decides they want to have sex with the same gender, because society (on balance) is telling them it's okay, or that there is nothing wrong with it. i understand this argument will not go over well, but it's logical, and hasn't positively been proved otherwise.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I don't know a single gay person who "wants" to be gay. Today's society does not tell people that it's okay, and honestly most people discourage homosexuality. Your argument isn't logical at all.

look, if i tell myself enough times that i wanna have sex with a girl, then i'm pretty sure i could get it in my head that i'm gay. being gay is wrong, and some people desire to do it. just like anything else immoral. why do people become addicted to drugs, alcohol, sex, etc.?

You don't become attracted to people just by saying you are. Haven't you ever had a crush? You didn't choose it, it just sort of happened.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yeah, because we are born straight.

being gay is most definitley NOT wrong, you homophobic asshole. And it also hasn't been positively proven that gays choose to be gays, so shut your mouth. Being gay is completely fine, and if you can't stand something like being gay just because you're christian or whatever, well doesn't the bible teach you to love? Being intolerant and calling people "immoral" for who they love is definitely NOT following the bible. Get a life.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I agree with everything except the part where you assumed they were Christian, not all people who don't like homosexuals are religious.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I'm not homophobic, I'm just saying it is immoral. Okay? I have friends who steal, I'm still going to tell them it's immoral, but that doesn't make me hate them. It's wrong just like any other choice.

Well during the Holocaust, Jews still chose to be Jewish even though they knew they'd be killed and slaughtered. It's the same thing.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

They didn't "choose" to be Jewish. They were born Jewish. Besides, people were being sent to concentration camps for even looking like Jews, so it's not like there was anything they could do about it.

Judaism is a religion people CHOOSE to be a part of, smart one.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Not really. I can't just decide to be Jewish, I either have to be born into it or go through a long, complicated conversion process.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yes really. It's a religion that you choose to become a part of.

The argument presented against gay people is that homosexual is an abnormal deviance from heterosexuality, and therefore can be "corrected", and that people who are proud of being gay "chose" to be deviants. Obviously this is false. There are queer groups who do advocate "queer by choice" - as in the response "I can't help being gay" is weak, but until most of the opposition goes down, I guess real research can't be done into the matter of choice - because no one would be willing to find out for curiosity's sake, if it's just going to be used against the gay community.

I hate when people say that those people choose to be homosexual, by that logic the ones saying that could choose to be gay right then and there, but they can't and they know it.

Exactly, I dont know why people refuse to believe that it is not a desire or lust, these people truly love a member of their own sex. It's not a choice, its who they are. Why else would they deal with all of that?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Actually, I know some people that would love to be gay (if they were guys. apparently they think gay sex is hot). They don't care much about the bullying, they just think it'd be hot and they'd like men.

are your friends male or female?

I don't believe that gays make a conscious decision to be what they are. I think there could be some subconscious part of it, though. There are a large percentage of gays with father issues, and I don't know exactly what role that plays in being gay, but something subconsciously could make them be that. Not saying that all or most of them come from messed up families. Because they don't. Just my theory at the moment, feel free to disagree.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Maybe they have father issues cuz their dad didn't accept him for being gay.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

No, I don't mean that... I mean getting raped/ beaten as a child for no reason or having no father at all. Their father not accepting them is after the fact- their dad didn't make them gay, they're just being a jerk by not accepting them :/

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Depends. I reckon if you got the percentage of straight kids with absent/apathetic fathers, it wouldn't be very different from the percentage of gay kids with the same.

Lol wut? I came from a normal middle class family and I was attracted to girls (I'm . girl) before i even hit puberty. I don't think I even knew what homosexuality was then

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yeah, that's what most people are. But some of them aren't :/

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Kk sorry. I misread. I thought you were saying that most gays came from messed up families. I do suppose that it could be a factor in some people, but what it all comes down to is you can't make yourself be attracted to someone else. It's completely illogical that being gay is like a switch that can just be turned on and off whenever. The way things are for me, is I'm just attracted to my idea of beauty. It could be male or female. It doesn't matter which sex it is, as long as I feel attraction to them.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Nah, I said "Not saying that all or most of them come from messed up families. Because they don't." I don't know what percentage do have issues, or if it's even higher than straight people, but there does seem to be a trend there with a higher amount of people with crappy fathers being gay, not necessarily the other way around though, if you get what I'm saying.

Being a whore is okay? Sleeping around is dirty and yes, immoral.

The person who I was replying to just said sex was bad. Being a whore is bad, I agree.

Jerk. Just because he/she thinks being gay is wrong doesn't make him/her homophobic, and it doesn't mean that he/she isn't tolerant of gays. All he/she said is that it's against his/her morals, you shouldn't make assumptions about people.

I'm the OP, and I'll be the first to admit I worded this pretty...awkwardly. All I meant to establish was that I think it's interesting for those who believe being gay is a choice to not realize that we must all have this "on and off" switch that enables anyone to do that. With that being said, I'm sure many could agree that this isn't the case. No controversy, although it's inevitable, I just thought it was strange.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Actually there is something different in the brain from gays and straight, it's not a bad thing, but it is scientifically proven.
