If Homosexuals are supposed to be born that way what then about bisexuals isn't that proof that they choose it
If Homosexuals are supposed to be born that way what then about bisexuals isn't that proof that they choose it ? I have yet to see any real Tangible evidence that they are born that way isn't it just a selfish choice that leads to self destruction?
These 2 guys say its a choice!
A man called Horse says its a choice:
Wow man you figured that one out on your own?! We certainly do, we love it both ways. It's called choice!
Wayne says So, I am bisexual....I experiemented as a teenager and when I became an adult, I accepted the fact that I was bisexual So for me....I was not born bisexual. It was something I expereimented with and enjoyed it!
rickster, Aminah H, jamie l, Say it is a choice! M V Through his rational proves it is a chioce! Cathryn proves that she knows nothing about what goes on in side the womb but think she liberated enough to call me the Intolerant religious bigot " Isn't being an intolerant religious bigot self destructive? Ever consider you might be wrong bashing others and have to answer for it when you meet Saint Peter at the gate?" Look in the mirror your not a top contributor your just mean! eschewde... is a child and needs to read the question again!
To further add James Boroznoff well let see isn't a desire to choose as choose is to prefer Interpersonal attraction
Preference, on which microeconomic theory is based
Motivation, thought that leads to an action to prefer or decide (to do something): He chose to run for election. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=choose
Please look it up! here is bit of your comment "whether you have a smart-a** answer to this or not, its still going to make you think a little bit about who and what you are accusing" Well lets see i am not accussing i am proving and despite what you think it is to help others no that it is choice not some excuse that says your born that way if you choose it then be a person enough and honest enough to say it! Pamela J well I have plenty of proof but people will except what want to hear or should i say choose P.S you are kind in the way you disagreed with me politely!
one you are on to something some men are feminine and they will pair up with a woman who is masculine and visa versa! It very easy to see that opposites attract in both genders!
Robin W well I checked out your links and here are some opening statements for the people who did their research:
To motivate is to energize and direct behavior. "So far, we have considered the energizing of sexual motivation but not its direction. We express the direction of our sexual interest in our sexual orientation" Contradiction with in this statement alone next "Physiological factors present at birth may produce behaviours in children that are interpreted as gender difference" The key word here is "may" not is but may!" Just as there is no gene for heterosexuality, there can be no "gay gene." Genes are not responsible for an individual's actions; they simply guide the "sequence of a particular protein that may influence behavior" ( 1 )." this from another one of your links!
to continue "The hormonal theory of sexuality holds that, just as exposure to certain hormones plays a role in fetal sex differentiation, such exposure also influences the sexual orientation that emerges later in the adult." Theory" not fact here is another "Physiological factors present at birth may produce behaviours in children that are interpreted as gender difference " key word may not is! Thank You Very Much Robin for your evidence it has proved a lot to me that it is still by choice or learnt behaviour! thanks for your input! X- Ray be like your name and take a picture of yourself if you read my past answers you would know i am not trying to hurt people just educate and at the very least let them understand why and what they are doing I have never ever condemd any one to Hell THAT IS THE CREATORS Business We Will ALL See It! Thanks For your comments!Troll Whisperer try backhanding yourself for your nasty ill intentions. Like I ask for proof and you threaten me get a life dude!
dirk well lets see "Just your screen name is the most arrogant part of your xmas sermon here" sorry dude no judgement there just you judging me and you add" to pass judgement on people you don't know is evidence that you are no xian, and no true servent to anyone but your own inner hatred" arrogant look at who is arrogant you! what is your proof I ask a Question and you still have not provided me our yourselves with proof go and get you proof!Topher go trolling for evidence when you get some i would be more than happy to listen!
sdjerome you had sex with her for many years just listen to yourself its all about what you want! Choices dude!
"For many years, I hid my sexuality. I had a girlfriend with whom I had sex for several years. She could not turn me on. I could only get aroused and complete a sex act by fantasizing about having sex with a man" Anya you chose to be both! Please do not hurt yourself just be honest with yourself thats all i am asking people!
Please Have A Happy New Year!
GOD BLESS!

Can a person be born with an uncontrollable genetic inclination to participate in culturally unacceptable physical activity that is undeniably self-damaging? Seems to me to an evasive and irresponsible mis-guided rationalization that could easily be applied to almost any behavior, like murder, shoplifting, exhibitionism, pedophilia, speeding, drunk driving, etc,... Where does it end?

alright, it quite is a very hard question to respond to yet i will attempt to describe it as ultimate i can. Genetically, anybody is distinctive. Scientifically, we are all distinctive. In faith, we are all the comparable, one massive blob of equality. This reality is that no person is the comparable as somebody else. no person has to any extent further suited, nonetheless, to point out the undesirable features of yet another. it quite is incorrect and could be punished. In a gay guy's innovations there are greater woman hormones than the traditional without postpone guy's innovations. comparable as a woman, in basic terms vice versa. it quite is an person-friendly yet unaccepted statistic. you're suited, we are all God's little ones, however the Bible is amazingly contradictory and quite often untrue and grow to be only written by skill of a schizophrenic guy or woman.

regardless of whether there is a genetic component or not, fetal development is well enough understood that we know there is a specific window of development in the first trimester of neurological development that controls sexual orientation and that includes bi-sexuality as well as hetero and homosexual.
Isn't being an intolerant religious bigot self destructive? Ever consider you might be wrong bashing others and have to answer for it when you meet Saint Peter at the gate?
And why aren't you celebrating christmas today instead of trolling GLBT people? Tsk Tsk, Jesus will be pissed

I have learned very quickly that people have a vast difference of opinion on this subject matter.
I was raised to respect other people's opinion even if I disagree with it...
So, I am bisexual....I experiemented as a teenager and when I became an adult, I accepted the fact that I was bisexual.
So for me....I was not born bisexual. It was something I expereimented with and enjoyed it.

Just your screen name is the most arrogant part of your xmas sermon here, and your choice to come here on xmas to pass judgement on people you don't know is evidence that you are no xian, and no true servent to anyone but your own inner hatred. So lighten up on yourself, and try to enjoy the holidays. Maybe if you found someone to date?

I believe no one is absolutely anything. Some men are much more masculine, some women are much more feminine. Some men are more feminine then some females.
example. some people are sure they are gay, some are in the middle (bi).
to be honest i wish i was bi. that way i could choose to be with the opposite sex and live a socially excepted life, and not have some people hate me for how my brain is wired.
you lucky guy! you have a choice.
self destruction? -is being dishonest with oneself. it almost killed me!

Bisexuality does not prove that Gays and Lesbians can choose their sexuality. A bisexual t is not that way because he chooses to have this attraction. It just happened that way.
Gays can want to be heterosexual and attracted to the opposite sex all they want, but that is not going to change their sexuality. Wishing to change may cause some to hide his sexuality and to have sexual relations with a woman, but that is not making him heterosexual. It simply means that he is having sexual relations with the opposite sex. This goes both ways: Most male street hustlers are Heterosexual. They are not turned on by their customer. They have sex with men for the money.
Can you possibly choose to be Gay and attracted to men? If you are heterosexual because you chose to be, then you should be able to change to become Gay. Could you? Imagine yourself wanting to be gay. Then think of whether you could somehow make yourself attracted to a man and to have no sexual interest in women. Dwell on the thought of sex with a man. I do not mean to be graphic, but ask this to make my point: Imagine performing oral sex on a man. Can you make yourself be turned on by doing this? If you can not, then how can you claim that gays can choose their sexuality?
For many years, I hid my sexuality. I had a girlfriend with whom I had sex for several years. She could not turn me on. I could only get aroused and complete a sex act by fantasizing about having sex with a man. As much as I tried to "chose" heterosexuality, I could not make myself heterosexual and could not make myself attracted to women.
Bottom line: If you can not make yourself homosexual, how can you claim that Gays or Bisexuals choose their sexual preference?

Being bisexual isn't a choice either. It's not about who a person sleeps with (which a person does have a choice in), it's about who they are attracted to.
If I had fallen in love with a woman instead of a man, how is that selfish or self-destructive? More importantly, why is it any of your business?
The people who are trying so hard to convince themselves (and you) that it's a choice, are the ones who want to be able to justify the discrimination and abuse they subject GLBT people to.
Here's a few links to research on how we ARE born that way:

Your argument doesn't hang together at all. There's no reason bisexuals couldn't be born with their sexual orientation intact, too.
I have a feeling you haven't found any tangible evidence because you haven't gone looking for it. Visit your local library, and ask the nice person at the reference or information desk to help you find a book or article on genetic bases for sexual orientation. Then read it.

I did not choose to be bisexual. I tried long and hard not to be. I harmed my self, I bled my self, I prayed, I struggled and lived in self hate for a long time. I am bisexual, I never choose to be. I tried to choose to be straight and it did not work. I tried to choose to be lesbian and it did not work.
Love is tender and knows no gender.
