It only needs to be explained to people for whom sexual orientation is, indeed, a choice. What they don't get is that for the rest of the world, sexual orientation cannot be switched to the flavor du jour.

You see, their only reality is that it IS a choice because for them, it IS. For you, me, and rlarson, and most of the rest of humanity, there is no choice involved and these people simply cannot believe that.

Are people born transgender? Are there brain differences between gays and transgenders and straights?

I just don't think with all of the societal pressure to "be straight and fit in" that someone is going to choose being gay.

I mean it's possible of course, but for me, IDK, I have always thought and will continue to do so, that gay people are born that way...... I don't have any fancy science to back up my claim, other than to me it just seem like common sense.....

Kids choose to be goth.

NEXT!

Sorry you are WRONG, only a Pedo would go after a child and most Pedos are "straight", some don't care they just want a child, they are unable to have relationship with another adult, it is MUCH easier for a male Pedo to get close enough to a male child than a female child ....

Oh by the way that did NOT make your Dad a "real man" but something else I can't type here.

Well you're talking to an unchosrn gay person so if first hand experiencers aren't proof for you then you are whats called intellectually dishonest. I don't think you're interested in the truth just picking a side and sticking to it.

He doesn't have sex with his wife, they have no plans to have a child so there is no reason to ... He has stated this in an open thread.

One poster, and I quote..
"I was faking being straight."

Whatever that means..
You know exactly what that means; the poster was faking attraction to the opposite sex.

This isn't rocket science. What is so difficult to understand?

Are you straight? If so, did you choose to be attracted to the opposite sex?

Are you gay? If so, did you choose to be attracted to the same sex?

Then he shouldn't have married. He stated that marriage is rooted in sex.

I don't care about a theory, one way or the other. Because i have always had gay friends and accept them for who they are, not what they sleep with, that is so shallow.

I am married a long long long time from a young age and still have that passion, being straight just who i am. Just as long as people know who they are, and don't play any games. The games is what ruins so many peoples lives. I have always loved men, just who i am appeciate a good looking women, because i keep myself fit and trim and sexy for hubby. But don't want to be with one, just apprecaite women who do work out as i do. I just don't want any flab on my body, just who i am.

Look your either straight or gay, or inbetween, that's another story.

I don't care if your born straight or gay, or turn later in life, that is the persons business not mine to make. Just know and accept who you are, in the long run you will be better off.

As a girl I was approached by men who followed me home, men who exposed themselves and men who fondled me.
Gay has nothing to do with it.
