Homosexuality: What's Your Stance?

[Dilloduck]

I hear prisons have that problem. Hummmm does that make the inmates homosexual?

Some would make that claim I think. It's also why some ancient generals made sure they brought lots of women with them on a campaign .

Making the "choice" to be hetero instead of homo is like making the "choice" to walk on your feet instead of your hands.

Well, I'm 38 now, so I'd have to say probably around 31 years ago. I knew that homosexuality existed at a young age, but I chose to run as fast as I could from that! Shortly thereafter I started sneaking around peeking at my older brothers playboy mags, and the rest was history!

So you ran from something you were attracted to?

I made no such choice, did you?

[5stringJeff]

I made no such choice, did you?

That's the whole point. It's just as natural to be heterosexual as it is to walk on your feet.

I never stated such.

[Mr. P]

I wonder how many of the folks that claim sexuality to be a choice know any homosexuals. If so have you ever asked them if it was a choice? My guess is few and none.

[Mr. P]

For you and me, sure. But it's just as natural for others to be different too.

What I can't figure out is why you would choose to be a homosexual. I find the entire thought repulsive, not to mention the fact that homosexuals are reviled by many and have a tough life, besides. I just don't see the upside of being homosexual...unless you're just naturally attracted to guys (or girls) in that way.

Disclaimer: May I once again state firmly that I still think gay sex is immoral and that the only way to avoid to be gay and not live in sin is to embrace chastity.

Can anyone guess what I voted?

Don't be a faggot.

[glockmail]

I hear prisons have that problem. Hummmm does that make the inmates homosexual?

Yes, PROVING that it is a choice.

I knew lots in college. The only one I've kept up with CHOSE to get back on the right team.

Why would people choose to become a drug addict, or do lots of ugly tats, or body piecings? Why would someone chose to commit suicide or murder?

Homosexuality is genetic. Believing that someone can "choose" to become a homosexual is the same as saying that someone can "choose" to have cancer or a mental disorder.
Homosexuality was not understood in Biblical times. Neither were other medical and psychological conditions. Some conditions were thought to be affected by birthdates and phases of the moon.
Modern science has provided a lot of breakthroughs over the last 2,000 years or so. It is a shame that certain people choose to remain ignorant.

And you know this... how exactly? The fact is that science has not yet determined that homosexuality is genetically inherited. Unless you can provide a proper citation for your assertion, please go to your local Wal-Mart and buy yourself a case of reality. Make that two cases....
