Who the hell would "choose" such a thing? To think that people who are attracted to the opposite sex would "choose" at some point to engage in sex with people of the same sex is ludicrous.

Because the armchair ultra-right ideologue idiots would rather push their beliefs down your throat than actually gather data to shatter their little worlds and minds.

They found it to be a normal variant of human sexual behavior. Notice I said "normal variant" rather than just normal.

In other words, science has spoken. All you backward thinking luddites and flat earthers need to educate yourselves. This battle was fought and won in the 70's. Time to move on.
Oh, so science has spoken now! LOL. All those years until 1973 they were wrong-they declared it a "mental illness" with, as you state no facts to support this and now changed their minds.
Ya can't have it both ways my friend, it can't be factual and scientific when it supports your claim but fallable when it doesn't.

Empiricals actually don't change.
But we do agree on one thing; homosexuality is a variant; that is an event that departs from expectations, so it is an aberration from the norm. It is not the norm. And it can happen in nature but it does not mean it is normal.

And you crack me up!

Blue eyes are not the norm you say? Wow. You must be a scientist.

Um I think it has to do with dominant and recessive traits. And yes, blue eyes are quite "normal" just like blonde hair. I can't believe you are equating eye color and homosexuality. This is getting good. . . Do share more of your "science" with us.
And your posts are very entertaining in a frenzied train-wreck way.

Why do many straight people feel that they know more about this than actual gay PEOPLE? I'm gay and know NOTHING about what it's like to be straight and would never CLAIM TOO, but the opposite is not true.
Straight is the norm.

Most people cannot relate.
