Well obviously you haven't met that many people. I know what i'm talking about because I live the life everyday. "I was curious and decided to try it and loved it." Those are the words of some gay people. I have a friend, although I love him dearly, has admitted that he got a blow job once and said he liked it. He claims he was straight before, but since that blow job, he's now all the sudden gay. That sounds like a choice to me. So like I said, some people choose, some people are born like that.

Darn lay off of the coffee! I just asked a question and just wanted to know what everyone thought about it. It has already been proven that pollution has already altered the DNA of some fish and frogs. That being said why would'nt someone question validity of it happening to humans?

How do you know it hasn't affected your thinking about people and their makeup?

You are "fishing" for excuses to justify this abhorrent manner of living

Nope it has not, I still have the same gay friends that I had before and we still hangout

It just seems that some people took the question a little too seriously in the first place

What makes you say that? I'm not judging nor condeming anyone's life choices. I seen something and I made an observation and followed it up with a general question based upon what I seen

The bolded part above is the key point. He obviously had homosexual tendencies (at the very least) prior to his first homosexual encounter.

I, for one, have never "been curious" about being with another man. Have you?

Sounds to me like your friend is a bisexual man who currently chooses to be with men.

You started a thread on the subject. You can't complain that people are taking it seriously. And "I have gay friends" doesn't answer whether your thinking could be affected by the issue you say does? Or, did you present "the logic" as long as it is not applied to you?

Abhorrent? I'll remember that one the next time I get accused of name-calling.

I'm gay so I can't help but to have tendencies. However, when someone admits that yes they chose to be like this because they think "it feels better," is a CHOICE brother. I guess for my friend, he feels it's trendy to be bi. Like some people feel.

Trust me I'm with you on why would certain people choose to be this way. However, sometimes they do. The difference between me and someone who chooses is, that the other person is motivated only by sex. However, they will never be with another man. Me on the other hand is attracted to men and love everything about a man. Not just the sex.

Think about porn stars. Most gay porn stars are actually straight. They're motivation is the sex and money and strictly that. Not because they want to be with a man.
