    my opinion is this is a choice,i can choose to be straight or the lifestyle of liking my own sex sexually,Maybe you explored both sex and men did you wrong or woman did you wrong so you chose who you want.Maybe a friend wanted to be curious about what it felt like been with a woman so she experiment with you but you just did it once and convince your self that you like men this is not for you.I'ts a learnt behavior,maybe you feel comfortable with girls because you are a girl and know what girls want.A man may fine another man attractive because that's the way he would like to look they do and like the same hobbies so he feels that yes this is real.Woman makes him mad because they are always arguing, always not pleased, always needy and clingy,he thinks about his buddy so to speak and feels he cannot do without him.Put a man in the room and a woman he chooses the man because the woman reminded him of what he wants sensitivity,a shoulder to lean on, comfort security a good listener a provider and he though marvin had it all.So they are both looking for the same thing so he switch,she needs that and i need it too.Many might not agree but that's my take why would someone born gay,why should it be in their genes no i don't think so.What if they were on an island and all they saw was men would they think of woman or would they just have to accept thats the way it is.

    I think it's irrelevant. It doesn't matter. You have a right to be gay whether you choose it or not. Just like you have a right to like the opposite sex whether you choose to or not. It really doesn't make either "right" or "wrong" just because you were born or weren't born with it. I personally think it's a mixture of both. People are born with tendencies and they choose based on them. I don't think it's a learned behavior any more than being straight is a learned behavior. So many more people are straight because that is all that they see. Think about it. Some gay people grow up never even seeing other gays until they are older, so I highly doubt they "learned" it. I don't think you are going to get a true answer on here....it's just based on personal opinions and preferences and not science, so there is really no point.

    All people?

    Yes!

    I believe all people are born gay. They are all born to practice gay lifestyles. I think a few people learn to NOT be gay, but everyone is gay when they are born. I got over it. I'm solidly heterosexual now, but when I was a baby? I was totally gay. I remember sitting in the nursery at the hospital looking aroung and thinking, "Is this a nursury, or a gay bar?" Seriously! It was kind of disturbing because I couldn't do anything but lay there being a helpless gay baby. We were all in the same boat though. I think I was starting to be less gay by the time I learned to walk. By the time I was gping pee pee in the potty, I was totally digging chicks though. It was a little odd though, because a lot of them were still gay. I guess I became straight earlier than they did.

    I hope that helped.

    Yes I do. I know that I didn't choose to be straight, I just am. I think it's the same way for gay people. Besides, people have died because they were gay, they've been tormented and been made to feel miserable, why would anyone choose that?

    Nope nothing cannot be stated as such but there are a few genotypes in your Networking but she doesn't accept emails I think there is nothing empirically true about it reasonably valid,or faithfully valid you might say I think there may be something to this but like a straight guy

    I ran into a net-worker of yours (almost as Lovely) but her phenotype said "no people allowed" and the meiosis of it all I don't know if I can keep another person so I disagree with abortion for that very reason. But since we are talking "gay" I don't think one can be sure if that has any DNA probability and I think it is very harmful. to say"well it almost is a problem"That would be what he wants to hide

    Source(s): casein point: can we "dance to the DNA" of Aushwits? Richard Dawkins is a firm believer of it but then he has just stated that "He does not exist" saying hitler was really a morally "bad person" I think the GAY questuion can be treated by reason as well as blurred a number of ways thus accordingly. my question to Dawkins is "Was Hitler really morally wrong?" according to Dawkins if he can not accept the fact that Hitler was a morally good person I would then suppose that his argument for "Gay" might be blurred to the point of ignorance then I think it is called "almost" a good idea. Plus physiologically I really doubt to be true. Which I really cant think that even could be so. eww that is gross lol "Muah" but very good Question deservs a star

    I think they're born that way. Are you trying to say that gay people sleep with people of their same sex but are not truly attracted to them? Why would they do that? It doesn't make sense - why would anyone choose a lifestyle contrary to what they are naturally inclined to do? Especially considering all the discrimination that they face - I'm not sure why anyone would choose that.

    And how do you explain why so many gay people exhibit physical characteristics of the opposite sex - i.e. gay men having feminine voices and vice versa. That can hardly be considered a learned behavior...

    do you think people are born straight? Is being straight a learned behavior? My best advice is to find a gay person and have a conversation with them about it.

    I do. Why the hell would anyone want to be gay? I'm sure if you ask a gay person, they would tell you that they wouldn't change if given the option, but for all the sh!t people give them, why would they be gay by choice?

  • 1 decade ago

    I think you're born gay because I know some people wouldn't be gay if they had the choice. They'd rather live without the fear of getting beat up or rejected by their families if they could.

    i do (for the most part) because my cousin is gay, and when he was veryyyy young (like 3) he acted unusually feminine, unlike his brothers, and i dont think he made that decision so young. i dont think its a coinsidence he is gay now. but in some circumstances people have bad expiriences with the opposite sex, and change to homosexuality because of that.
