Homosexuality a personal choice or not

Leave people to be how they are. If you're straight, you have no right to tell gays what they are thinking. Live and let live because it has the square root of fuck all to do with you.

PS: in before "spoken like a true homo fag who gobbles cock every night for fun rather than pleasure", I'm a straight man, I just believe in gay rights because I'm not a dickhead.

It's a physical choice to act it out but not a mentally choice.

Sometimes it's both.

Someone's born that way.

Both. It really just depends on the person. Some are born that way, some are not. You can’t just slap labels on entire sections of people.

Nowadays it is popular to say that homosexuals are born that way and that sexual orientation is unchangeable.

Another theory involves hormones. Much attention has also been given to genetic studies. Among homosexual males and females who have identical twins, about half of their twins are likewise homosexual. Since monozygotic [identical] twins are genetic duplicates, it seemed logical to conclude that some mysterious gene caused the deviation. However, note that half the twin siblings were not homosexual. If this trait were really genetically programmed, would not all the twins have it? True, genes and hormones may play some role. Even so some strongly feel that environment contributes significantly to sexual orientation.

Consider the environment of ancient Greece. Spurred on by the erotic stories about some of their mythological gods, the writings of philosophers such as Plato, and the culture of the gymnasium where youths performed unclad, homosexuality became the rage among the elite in the Greek-speaking world. I once read a book entitled Love in Ancient Greece, where it stated, “it was considered shameful in Crete for a well-born boy not to have a [male] lover.” No mysterious gene or hormone caused such decadence. It flourished because Greek culture permitted, yes, encouraged it! This well illustrates how powerful a role environment can play.

No doubt the flood of pro-homosexual propaganda has done much to spread that viewpoint today. Allusions to homosexuality abound in TV, movies, music, and magazines. Cable television has given some youths easy access to hard-core pornography. Androgynous (unisex) styles of dress and grooming have become chic. Some experts also feel the antimale propaganda promoted by some feminists has contributed to the rise of lesbianism. Youths may also receive exposure to influences by association with classmates who openly advocate the homosexual life-style.

Sometimes, faulty family environment also seems to play a major role. A boy needs acknowledgment, love, and approval from his father. What can result when a father fails to give his child this needed attention? Emotional distress. Male homosexuality is almost always the result of problems in family relations, particularly between father and son.

Not all with homosexual inclinations necessarily come from dysfunctional families. It does appear, though, that some boys are wounded in a very specific way. As a consequence of his early sense of rejection by father the homosexual carries a sense of weakness and incompetence with regard to those attributes associated with masculinity, that is, power, assertion, and strength. He is attracted to masculine strength out of an unconscious striving toward his own masculinity.

As a counselor, I once talked to a young man in my office and he said, “My father was an alcoholic and regularly beat my mother and, at times, us children. When I was 12 years old, he walked out. I keenly felt the lack of a father. I always longed for someone to fill the void I felt every day. When I finally developed a friendship with a good man who I thought could fill that need, I began to experience sexual feelings for him.”
Interestingly, significant numbers of homosexuals are victims of childhood molestation. Such molestation can produce lasting physical and emotional damage. For some it may create what one writer called a “distorted sexual identity.”

Scientists may never resolve exactly how much of a role nature and nurture play in same-sex attraction. But one thing is clear: All humans are born with the tendency to succumb to certain thinking and inclinations.

Just my opinion!

You can read all the mumbo jumbo that the government and religion want to spew, but I’ve been attracted to both men and women for as long as I can remember. I’ve tried to stop, I’ve tried to deny it, but there is no changing it. Plain and simple you are what you are.

It can go either way.

In attractive to men and women. Don't care what anyone else says or thinks. They not the ones who is taking another man dick in the ass or sucking one till he nuts nlij ur mouth. Some men get me hard and makes my ass wet wanting him to run up in me y I was in a woman pussy and sucking on another man cock. That is hot and turns this bisexual or gay guy on now I'm going to fuco my dildo and beat my dick and shoot my cum in my mouth to taste myself

Really, what difference does it make? I enjoy sex with both males AND females and don't understand why anyone would care about MY choice! Labels make no sense to me....it's just sex!

if someone is born that way its the same as saying its a mental illness

I believe homosexuality is a choice, but that doesn't imply loss of their individual rights for having sex based on their preference.

I think sexual orientation is generally innate and involuntary, for the most part, but I'm not completely certain.

There is some evidence that suggests a degree of flexibility IIRC, at least for some people. But the idea that sexual orientation is not a choice is fundamental to the gay liberation movement, and has been used as the moral and legal rationale for civil rights and legal protections, so there isn't interest in exploring the idea of choice.

It is pretty well proven that homosexuality is not chosen. In fact there may be a genetic predisposition to it.

I think you can choose to block out one specific gender and strictly want to stay with one but you can't help if you love a specific person. For example, some people make the choice to only identify as heterosexual because they don't like the idea of being homo, but sometimes they fall for someone of the same sex and try to ignore it. It also goes the same the other way, a homo walling for someone of the opposing sex, etc. Sexuality can be fluid, you don't have to only identify as one and if can change if that's the way you feel.

Your argument invalidates itself. Choices of taste and opinion can be changed, so if someone was to not like the choice they made then they could simply change their choice. That argument obviously doesn't apply to sexuality, however, due to the fact that studies have conclusively proven the ineffectiveness of conversion therapy.

What a person is attracted to is NOT
a choice.
Choosing to act, or not.
Is a CHOICE.
So, that's my vote.

Very true. It's not all black or white. Some guys would fuck a knot in a tree, and some women will have sex with a dog or a horse.

I honestly tried to be attracted to guys and wanted to be gay or bi when I was a young teenager because I saw it as hip and bold and emo, lol. But no matter how much I tried to convince myself, I knew it just wasn't true. So no I don't think it's a choice.

Like most things I imagine sexual orientation is some combination of nature/nurture. That being said one can't help or change it.

For me it's not a choice. I was always attracted to both males and females and never understood why until I actually sat down and had a long thought about it. This was back in 2000. I was 11 years old and at the time Brentwood had a lot of Bible thumpers still living there who said homosexuality was wrong. I honestly wished I wasn't attracted to females and denied it for a while. XD
