How is homosexuality not chosen? (bias, billion, world, kids)

[basketballakev]

Explain to me how homosexuality is not chosen. Where is the biological evidence? From what I have learned in some of my Biology courses, there is not clear cut biological explanation for homosexuality. So in that sense, how is it that homosexuality would be considered normal by organizations such as the APA and other Psychological organizations? What research do they have to deem this normal?

Do you remember choosing to be heterosexual?

I don't think homosexuality is normal, but I also don't think it's a choice. Two different things here. I believe an individual is born with their sexuality. Just like they are born color blind. Homosexuality is not a learned behavior like certain phobias.

I think its a choice

Yeah but I don't believe anyone is born homosexual either. There is no evidence of this. However, I do believe the environment you live in when you are growing up plays a role in determining your orientation and lifestyle. I'll believe that when they do prove there is a gene. I wouldn't call it a phobia though.

Out of nearly 7 billion people in the world, she proves the case?

Is it possible that all her life, she was bisexual, and decided to stop having an ongoing relationship with a man and to begin having one with a woman, which was all the same to her. She made only the choice of which individual to commit herself to. She didn't "turn lesbian" She chose a new life partner, from among the men and women that she was able to have intimate sexual relatinships with. You have heard of bisexuality, haven't you?

Please try to follow along.

She was by nature bisexual. A lot of people are, but they don't wear a sign. She enjoyed intimate sexual relationships with both men and women, and was able to become sexually aroused with either of them

First she made life commitments to a couple of men. Maybe she chose men for those commitments, because she would fit in better with her society, but that does not mean she had a particular preference for men. Lots of people make choices for that reason.

Those did not work out.

Then she tried a life commitment to a woman. So far, that seems to be working out.

Did you "make a choice" about whom to marry? So did she. She had a wider choice of candidates, because she did not "make a choice" to be exclusively heterosexual, as you did.

"She was by nature bisexual."

There is no way you could know that.

She could have been a lesbian the whole time living a lie.
