Homosexuals: Genetic or society?
Mar 21^st, 2007 at 2:00am

The 'gay man causing aids' thread inspired this poll.

What do you think causes gay men to be gay?

Do you think it's society? Society meaning... it was the way they were raised that caused them to grow up with that kind of mentality. Therefore, if they were treated the correct way by their parents, they would otherwise have grown up to be perfectly normal and straight.

Do you think it's genetic? Meaning that there's some kind of gay gene in people and if gay people are born with it, it's not their fault.

Or doyou think it's something else, like Buddism's 'karma' or something like that.

Me, I'm undecided.

Interesting subject DT. There seem to be so many gay and bi younger people today - maybe because your generation (most of you anyway) appear to be more accepting of the sexual orientation of your peers. There seem to be just as many females as males who prefer the same sex.

I used to think it was genetic. So many gay males have these unusual eyes which seems to distinguish them from heterosexual males - even before they become sexually active, so there could be a chromosone that hasn't quite developed properly. Now I'm not too sure and body language seems to be the main identifying feature.

Not sure if it's society or their up-bringing (i.e. parental influence).

But i highly doubt it's genetic. I just think people are using the genetic excuse to justify being gay. in other words, they use the excuse of "it's not my fault, i can't control who i am".

Give me a break, if u want to be gay, go ahead, but don't give me that crap. being gay is a lifestyle choice, nothing more.

Not at all, old boy. You can be cured by giving in. Don't bite, dear, submit to your overwhealming desire to be rogered.

Every old boy deserves fruit, no?

A very small percentage of gays are born gay.

I have a family member that fits into this classification.
He played with dolls and dressed up as a girl all the time as a young child.

However many gays are simply rebellious and looking for a CAUSE.
Exactly why we have this "I can be whatever gender I want to be" we see today.
They are attempting to shock or are attention getters to bring attention to themselves.

I know one guy that used to pretend to be gay to get shelas.
Shelas that wanted to "Convert" him back to normality
He was most successful.

On the whole though, this propensity for homosexuality is a mental illness.
Something is wrong with these people.
Be it that they crave attention, feel disenfranchised or simply rebelling, its a mental problem requiring help.

Its a fact that most of these gays or gender fluid people are on drugs (prescribed and otherwise) alcoholics, have serious mental health issues, suicidal, bipolar or simply twisted.
Surely this is an indicator that something is wrong with them.

They need help and our sympathy, not blind acceptance.
Blind acceptance has lead to homosexuality being more "normal"
So the boundaries have to be pushed further to be SHOCKING
Hence the gender fluidity movement we now see.

And as that becomes "Normal" how much further will we allow this mental illness to progress.

Yeas, but this was back in the late 70s, before Sienfiled.

But he never went so far as to actually even touch another man.....

As the character of Costanza wouldn't have!

That would have been the setup for a comical fix for George. Where his 'deviously brilliant' plan would have come undone!

Valkie knows an awful lot about homosexuals.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
