    I think it's ridiculous to think that people choose to be homosexual. I never choose my sexual orientation, it was never a choice, my brain is stimulated by sexy women...I can't just all the sudden change and want a penis pushed up my rear. It doesn't work that way. It's pretty much been proven it's something your born with, my supervisor at work used to be in day care and she knew her little cousin and another boy were gay by how they acted. We all know most gay people act feminin and walk and talk differently, they don't choose to be that way...they have a more female mind. Hell even animals have a long history of homosexual behavior. Homosexuality might not be 'normal' because it's under 5% of the population but it's natural and has been around forever. If your going to respond don't just post some ignorant/lame response....explain yourself and what you think of my thoughts.

    I think in some cases yes. But at that point, it's the individual's reasoning that's behind the decision. If somebody wants to be gay, they can. You don't just have to be born hetero or homosexual.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>I can't just all the sudden change and want a penis pushed up my rear.</div> :HAHAHA: I have to agree with BCB on this one. Reason being, most homosexuals do indeed say they did not choose to be gay but were in fact born gay. It's coming straight from their mouths.

    Yeahthats why gay people (some..maybe most but who am I to make that kind of ridiculous stereotype) have high pitched voices and are skinny boned...that's how it appears at least...it seems like some of the gayness is in the genes...and some just is there for unexplainable reasons

    I think Homosexuality is a genetic mess up. sometime during the development of the fetus something just doesn't go the way its suppost to, and the person ends up being gay. the University of Oregon was doing some study into homosexuality, using gay sheep(yes the sheep were gay, they liked sex with Rams over Ewes), and they found a cromosome(sp?) that was differnt in the gay sheep.

    First, I believe Men were made for Woman, and Woman made for Men - It is a human's natural instinct to mate with their counterpart; so I believe homosexuality is not normal, it is something that comes from that person's environment. I don't believe people are born homosexual, I believe homosexuality is something acquired through the conditions that are in that individuals life. Now - I do believe someone could be born with less of the "natural instinct" of a heterosexual - which is to mate with the opposite sex; so this person who isn't as 'natural' as the straight guy - with the right conditions, could become interested in the same sex and develop some kind of relationship. A relationship, whether it be male/male or male/female can become strong - I can have a good relationship with my best friend, who is a guy - something like that. So that person has the illusion that they really love this person who is the same sex, and therefore believe being gay is a real thing that you are born with and take it even further with getting married and so on. That group is small - where you are born with less of that desire to mate naturally...The rest, or the majority to me are just products of their environment, and their own will. I know SO MANY kids that become gay/bisexual for a while, than become straight again...this was just testing the other side out because it's so popular to become gay now - it's ok - its seriously something like a trend. I believe a lot of people also become gay just because of bad experiences with the opposite sex...I know two girls who have become lesbian just because they were hurt by the opposite sex too many times, and felt that a girl is what they need to get away from all the pain.There are so many ways people think - that its impossible to map out all of the possible ways someone could be gay...all I know is that Gay is not natural - I would not totally rule out the possiblilty of it being a genetic mutation, either.

    yeah its not a choice. Who would choose to be persecuted thier entire life. Get disowned by thier family, get bashed by small minded people. No-one would CHOOSE that. I say it genetic.

I say it genetic.</div>I don't see that as a valid point, I'll tell you why:People do many things that are veiwed as disgusting or unthinkable, people aren't destined to get addicted to drugs, acoholism, etc.I think it's the same thing with homosexuality... it's a choice. It's not a chronic disease that is unescapeable; I know a guy who left being gay, and he was gay because he was different than other people (more feminine and stuff).I also know people who seem gay but they are definitely not.What I'm trying to get at is that sure people are born different, but it's their choice on what they want to do with that. I'm sure you havent seen a gay kid because it's not natural to have those feelings for the same sex.

But as a group of people they are tidy, polite , respectful and take good care of themselves. Alcholics and drugo's have a total disreguard for themselves.

Why is 'not normal or un-natural' that a small percentage be gay? Just because it's not a majority of people?

    No. Ask any gay guy you know if he would rather be straight and accepted by society. Their initial answer will probably be no because of the whole "proud to be gay" thing, but if they trust you and you know them well, they will say they would rather be accepted by society than not. And yes, I do have a few gay friends.

    How do you know this? Do you hang out with homosexuals, Becar?I agree with BCB. Who cares, it's a small percentage. Asians are a minority, why not call them un-normal. Go away you Flips(I'm jk, just making a point btw). Just shut up and live with it, not everyone can be perfect/the same. My stance is, I don't give a sh*t if you're gay, just don't go trying to change me from my views. Gays are people just like you guys. If a gay person started posting on BBW, you wouldn't even know it.As some people say "everyone's at least a LITTLE gay", which is probably true.

    No. You cant just wake up one morning, and say that you suddenly are going to be attracted to guys. You cant help it. It is in your head, and it is not something you can control. Do you think all gays actually chose to be gays? No, not at all

    No, we learned about this last month. It is something in the brain that attracts to things. It is the same oh how some guys prefer blondes over brunettes, and others prefer red heads. It's the way you brain funtions, and it also can change. Your brain could like women today, and like men tommorow.

    I'm talking about in America. Only in America do we make this big of a deal over this subject.I think some are born that way(most probably), but they just don't know it.Also, I think some aren't born that way, but perhaps slowly become gay over time.Also, why does your sig have Scalabrine as a Net?
