Think about this-- we've all seen babies born with too many of this or to few of that. If I'm not mistaken all fetus' are conceived as females. At some point a "SHOT OF JOY JUICE" (my description, not clinical) changes the female to a male. More hair, testes, MIND SET,breast don't develope, etc. What is the shot of juice isn't enough and leaves the person hanging between M/F or gives them a M body, F mind or vice versa? Gays should not bother us but what bothers me is the in your face type. What you do in your home is YOUR business.
I believe one is born that way, not something someone would chose as a lifestyle. Logic tells me nobody would choose a lifestyle for which one will be discriminated against, made fun of, bullied, and hated, for the rest of one's life. Even gay couples wouldn't want their children to be gay because they know the type of hardship the child will go through in life.
You can't fake your sexuality. You're either attracted to same sex partner, or you're not. If homosexuality can be taught, then I don't understand how every single gay person is born and brought up in a strictly straight environment? Logically, since they're born from straight couple, are taught to be straight, and brought up in straight environment, they should be straight too, correct? My sister is a real example of this argument. She's gay, and has shown the tendency to be this way since childhood, eventhough our family and culture are extremely traditional and conservative.
If you do a some reading, you'll find that homosexuality is happening in the animal kingdom too. The most famous ones are probably gay penguin couple in NY's Central Park zoo. In 2007, Norway had its first-ever museum display at the University of Oslo's Natural History Museum that presented 51 species of animals exhibiting homosexuality.
I suspect homosexuality is caused by somekind of genetic mutation, same mutation that caused unexplainable deseases and behaviour in people. My doctor explains genetic mutation is like shuffling cards. Everytime the cards (genes) get shuffled, something gets lost in the shuffle and results in a set of slightly different cards (genes). Perhaps one day science will have a solid answer to this theory.
I personally think is is a chosen lifestyle and i detest the concept ,so what do you people think? are you born or taught to be like this?
I believe you should ask a gay person. I don't care if they are born or chose to be that way. It's none of my business and it's none of yours either. It would be great if you would butt out of other peoples' lives when it has no effect on yours.
I don't think it really matters whether it is genetic or not. We've always had gay members in our society for as long as there's been civilization. No harm in it.
I don't think people choose to become gay. However I don't think people are born that way. I believe in a persons path from infancy to adulthood, many factors contribute to a person becoming homosexual. I don't think there is any specific incident which would make a person cross genderlines...just a collective response to a persons normal development.
I don't believe in gay marriage. I do believe that individuals have the right to extend their benefits to their spouses whether they be married or not.
I do have a question though.....what is being gay? Is it simply just about sex? Is it wanting to be the opposite sex? Can't a man be feminine without being gay?

To answer your last question.. yes, a man can be feminine or exhibit traits assigned to a homesexual (like being completely vain for one.. with primping etc) and still be straight. They are called metrosexual.
I have at least 3 gay friends who have similar stories. They were all being molested by older babysitters, trusted friends or relatives of the same sex. They admitted they realized they were gay when the molester told them they were. I think I remember someone from NAMBLA saying if they could "get" a boy by the time he was ten, they would have him forever.
