I certainly am not!

Not everyone accused of being it is one.

I jump to conclusions? Lol.

It seems as though that is your opinion.
All of this is based off of your previous posts. You say that you do not here, but in other threads what you say does not match.

not to mention the fact that if someone chose to be gay or straight that actually makes them a BISEXUAL, since the only way to choose would be if you felt BOTH WAYS.

there are many people on some threads who say they chose to be straight.. does that mean that in GENERAL being straight is a choice because for some people it was?

If you're bisexual, you're bisexual. Not gay. Not straight. How could that be any more a choice than either of the other alternatives if they are not choices?

You know what, I think my thinking has been swayed a bit, finally, and I'm gaining an understanding and buying into the theory concerning hormononal levels in the womb and the resulting feminized/masculinized brain development. It makes sense and is a good explanation. That said, if it's completely accurate one's sexuality should be able to be determined by a brain scan, and that's interesting.

I wonder what would happen if a pregnant women took male hormones around the same time it occurs naturally while pregnant with a son. Would she push out Chuck Norris or Sylvester Stallone? LOL

I don't understand what you are trying to say.

I don't know and I never did claim to know.

LOL! Yes I've been keeping up with NARTH's conservative religious-based anti-gay propaganda nonsense for years.

You obviously don't know who NARTH are.

It's kind of like going to the KKK for information about black people.

Do a little research and you'll see what I mean.

"Straight, straight, straight." The correct word is "regular" or "heterosexual."
And I don't use the word "gayness," I use the word "homosexuality."

All I said was that the studies and research don't agree 100% on the matter of the causes of homosexuality. I'm not really that concerned what causes it; I'm just grateful that I'm a hetero!
How about you try to come up with a study from a reputable source that says sexual orientation is a choice.

Good luck with that!
