I think everyone's different. I think some of us are born gay because I know that I had girlfriends before I was out of the closet and i am most definitely NOT bi...i think that it's different for different people.

Actually, something occured to me after those posts. Pheramones cannot describe all sexual attraction...at least, I don't think they can. They're probably just part of the equation, unless they have something to do with attraction towards a plain old image.

Yeah. I remember the pheramone study, and I agree that something is going on in pheramone response, but my question is more of what exactly would cause a differernt response. It's almost certainly genetic, seeing as it's a trait, but it would be interesting to know more about it.

Yeah. A lot of "bisexuals" are just trying to get attention, but there probably are people who respond to male and female pheramones.

A while ago they released a study that found homosexual male brains reacted to male pheramones in the same way straight men responded to female pheramones. That study didn't apply to females. BUT, I recently read a report on a study that found a similar, but slightly less strong phenomina in lesbians.

This, to me, confirms what I've thought for a while: Homosexuality is (mainly) a pheramone disorder. There's probably some other factors that affect the severity of it.

So pheramones, and trendy stupid bisexual twats who try to get attention by kissing girls. Razz

Since there is no proven external event that can make someone homosexual (or heterosexual) how do you explain that? There cannot EVER be a point in someone's life when they chose to be attracted to someone.

Furthermore, being "born gay" is not a matter of destiny; it's science. Claiming that your're born a chiropractor would be destiny. Gay? Not so much.

As a rule of thumb, rugar, it's not a good idea to post the town you live in. Not that any of us are going to come get you, but anybody, anywhere can access this site.

It also violates the Rules of Play. So just be careful. Smile

I think that people are probably born gay or straight...BUT, there's tons of gray area. I have a gay friend who's 98% gay, as he puts it, because he's been attracted to a select number of girls, too. I think that most people are attracted to at least a few people of the same sex, and vice versa.

I do believe, however, that people themselves decide if they're going to acknowledge whether they're gay or live a life in the closet...

I remember how I realized that I was bi - a friend of mine came out to me, and told me she had a crush on one of our friends. I was mad, and I didn't know why. It turned out I was mad because I had a crush on the girl who came out to me! Ha, silly, eh?

I think that the people who are the most hateful to gay, lesbian, bi, transgendered, etc., people are the ones who aren't comfortable with their own sexuality...or, at least, that's been my experience.

But again, we must look at the genetic and chemical imbalence side of things. Homosexuals have no control over that. No one does. Possible? It makes more sense than the choice Paws was going on about. Smile

"It's our choices that make us who we are not our blood."

Then tell me this...why would gay people choose to live a life of discrimination, being stereotyped, lonely, and looked down upon?

And also...when did you "choose" to be straight?

If gay people aren't born gay, then that means, in one way or another, they choose to be gay. If this is so...when do straight people decide to be straight?

So black people choose to be black too huh? Because they like to be discriminated against as well.

And Jewish people (I'm half Jewish)...we choose to be Jewish and be the minority...

Sexuality is something you're born with. You don't snap your finger and change who you are.

Scientists have found difference in brain size between homosexuals and straights.

I guess they chose that too.

I don't think people are born gay because that spirit sometimes comes through generational curses of someone being gay in that bloodline. Or maybe someone was sexually molested while they were a child and whatever spirit was on that person transfered to that child. I believe that's how some children are battling with their sexuallity all of these things I believe affects them mentally and physically.

No you cannot be born gay. People choose to live a life of discrimination, hate and being made fun of, stereotyped and picked on.

Because that's what they want.

Yes, you are born gay.
