Religiously speaking, is it possible for for same sex attraction to be either innate OR adapted (adapted to)?
Why does it have to be one or the other? I was thinking, most ppl are born the way they are born...and then there are those that do actually change over to ( or fluctuate between) different lifestyle choice(s). How rigid or fluid IS sexuality really? Is it an individual thing? Maybe both sides are right. Just my thoughts.
I didnt mean to imply that there was anything wrong with homosexuality, or with choosing it for that matter. I just think it's such a ridiculous argument to have been ongoing since forever, and we will probably never see the end to it. Is it a choice? Is it organic? probably both.
@MzCalypso...you are wrong. Sometimes it is a lifestyle choice. Many Heteros are crossing over. especially women. In the high schools in particular. There is actually a rising culture here in Chicago of single hetero women of color who "choosing" to be with another woman primarily for the sake of having help raising the children. They were interviewed and had multiple logical reasons why they chose to be with a woman, even though they were not naturally lesbians. the main reason was because they didnt trust to bring a man around their kids. that and the fact that women of color are employed at a higher rate.

People are terrified to consider this because then homosexual men will be forced to marry women against their will. I wouldn't wish this on them.
Yes, sexuality is more fluid in some people.
An awful lot of people get drunk , wasted in other ways and then have sex in ways they have not had sex.
Yes, they may be making excuses for their decision to experiment.
It seems some people really do become homosexual when they are in prison.
Not everyone can change their sexual orientation . Some can augment it but it will always be a struggle.
People should be loved an accepted exactly as they are and then we can ask these kinds of questions with nothing at stake except the truth.

I'd be inclined to say it is a developed trait. It's not necessarily a choice and I find it hard to fathom that we are born with sexual desires for any particular features.
There are tastes that I liked as a kid and don't really like as an adult. There are also things I like as an adult that I hated as a kid. My attraction hasn't changed drastically, but it has altered over the years.
I'm a very shallow person. I seem to only get more shallow. lol

Freudian encouragement to physical lust and emotional affection from the oppsite sex at very early age have been fostered security and a truly meaningful, warm and close personal relationship between the parents and children, and individual and society. If we believe that sex is an instinct imbued in us by God, then it is better to satisfy this insticnt through opposite sex and not by the same sex.

Sexuality is more fluid than people realize. That's why the Kinsey Scale was created. But it's not like you can just go from one end of the scale to another at the drop of a hat. Sexuality isn't a light switch. But even if sexuality was 100% a choice (which it isn't), there's still nothing wrong with homosexuality.

Everyone is born the way that they are.
You know that funny feeling that you have when you find something that is attractive to you?
There is no way to fake that. You are either attracted to something or you are not.
Yes some people have it both ways but it still isn't something that they are doing on purpose.
