Why are people gay?

Interesting thought...because that could explain why alpha-females (aka f*g hags) love hanging out with a group of gay men, too. I dunno...I don't think there is just one answer as to why we are gay or bi or whatever!

And Hard Candy...there are worse things in the world that could happen to ya...you could always take it as a compliment & say, "Thanks, but no thanks!" I've had to do the same when a guy hits on me... :)

I'm not quite sure I'm following you . . . what would be the reason that non-alpha males want to get close to alpha females? In the animal or human world, what would the purpose be? It's certainly not sexual, so then what?

I think you may be confusing correlation with causation- for whatever reason, gay men may like "fierce" women (are you sure? isn't that a huge generalization?), but that's a personality trait, not the reason for their homosexuality.

Maybe you can add some details and help me out.

Historically, people did not have a "gay" identity like they do today.

As far as I know, there is no mention of "homosexuals" in the Bible, but rather references to same-sex sexual practices ...

In Leviticus, they are on a list of behaviors, such as having sex with a woman on her period, and making love to someone's wife.

Corintheans and Romans are a different story, those books refer to all forms of promiscuity, including same-sex.

... this culture of "gay" identity is entirely of our current world-view.

... I repeat, "Gay" is a question of self-identification. There are (many) self-identifying "straight" males and "straight" females that engage in same-sex practices.

There are "gay" men and "lesbians" who also can gravitate toward a partner of the opposite sex.

So to answer your question... "People" being "gay" is a "now" thing. Another way of looking at it is:

"Why are there some people among us who prefer to have sex with members of the same sex?"

To answer that question ... I don't know. It just is.

Human sexuality encompasses a very wide range of preferences and practices.

I am gay for the same reason I have blue eyes.

Fear of dominate women is a societal issue, not a sexuality issue.

I appreciate the beauty of the physical, aesthetic form of a good-looking woman, but I am not sexually aroused by womens' bodies. I have no erotic, romantic feelings for women.

Are you left-handed because you have a phobia of writing with your right hand?

Over-analyzing I think. Different reasons make people gay.Sometimes a love gone bad, sometimes curiosity, some are born that way.

We reason. Animals and insects do not.

well, I don't know about your theory...but I know that I made no choice and nothing happened to me to make me "turn" lesbian. I always have been attracted to women, never to men. period. I feel, as most of us do, that it's totally genetic...just like hair color, eye color and skin color.....we are born this way.

Um... okay? That's a little wack. People are gay, lesbian,and bi because it's a twist in nature. Maybe it is natural selection to control population but, it's perverted and somewhat wrong. I mean we don't need those people to control the population. We already have disease, famine, people with the wrong genitals and people who somehow can't reproduce. Besides, you could be a target of a person who likes their same sex! OmG!!

wow...dude....yer a tad nutty. :)

Why are people gay? Same reason people are straight. There is no reason. We are who we are. Stop concocting insulting theories on people's sexuality, and focus on yourself instead.

cuz when your daddy drinks and thay have sex the nany comes out ill either gay,bi,lesbo,retarded,doublesided,two baby heads and etc

We're gay because we were born that way. Suzanne Westenhoffer says, "I didn't choose to be gay, I was CHOSEN!"
