LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transexual) anyone?

Go troll somewhere else ~ your kind isn't welcome here.

It's genetic.

But our colleague here just got done yelling at me about it not being genetic. :shocked:

 

[Kon~]

It's something you're born with, but not detectable at birth.

 

[Zeph.]

Gay is a disease. PERIOD
"HAAY BOOOOOYYYZZZZZ" isnt that annoying?

No. But you're annoying ;)

You may voice your opinion here when your IQ surpasses 50 my friend.

And for the record, I am straight.

PERIOD

I didn't say it wasn't genetic, just not a disease.

I don't like the idea of homosexuality being genetic or hormones in the womb because that insinuates that is can be corrected or avoided :\/

I've never officially made up my mind regarding the nature/nurture matter, I lean more towards the latter mind but I can't really say for sure. It's possibly I mixture of the two, maybe people are born more inclined to be straight/bi/gay and the environment sort of influences it to. I'm pretty sure it's not 100% nurture though because I don't see how my upbringing could have effected it at all, was pretty normal and I have always been into more "guy" things.

So we'll all ruled out it being a choice. And we also now agree it's not birth/genetic. So enivorment or the way the child was raised?

When did we agree that? We said it wasn't present in babies for a variety of reasons but that doesn't mean it's not there, it's just suppressed until the person hits puberty.

I agree that most of the time it's both, however I think it could arise from nurture alone in certain circumstances. Maybe a traumatic event as a child regarding their parents relationship failing, I know quite a few people who put some of the blame on that o.o

But on the other hand, if it were to be proven as environmental parents and schools and everything would be freaked out about it and try to make every environment as "ungay" as possible.

So maybe it's best, at least until the general public gains a bit of common sense, that we just don't worry about whether it's genetic or environmental. I personally believe it's genetic. I have nothing to back that up, though so I won't argue it. XD

... do you understand genetics?

Everything about a person is genetic, from their eye colour to hair colour to skin colour to appearance and personality. So why not sexuality?

Saying that genetic things can be corrected sounds a lot like designer babies. It's like you're saying "That baby's brown hair can be corrected so that it's blonde!"

Erm yes I understand genetics o.o I am a biology student thanks, did you not read my post on possible genetics of sexuality on the previous page?

That's what I'm saying, if sexuality is purely genetic then people will seek to stop babies having the 'gay gene' to eliminate the chance of their child being gay.

"Ungay" is my new favorite word.

A lot of society needs to be brought into the 21th century because this happens anyway. I cringe to think what the new history books in Texas are going to start teaching kids.

Alright, sorry. It just sounded a bit like you were stating your opinion rather than what that of other people would be.

Could it just be a personality disorder? People have different personalities and sexuality is a part of that.

Sexuality is more of a baser function. I forget the exact name of it, but the reason why sex is pleasurable to begin with is because it is designed to reinforce that basically reproducing is a good thing for the species.

Chocolate also ignites the same area of the brain.

Animalistic essentially. This doesn't mean that only being straight is good, but rather that the feeling comes with it... *erggh lost my train of thought*

Now you are saying being gay is a disorder =/
i dont like you

Only if you consider being straight normal. Being straight is common, but that doesn't make everyone else abnormal, deviant, or dysfunctional. Just uncommon.

 

[Nick]

I don't mean to sound rude or anything, but I didn't realize how many ignorant people there are on this forum. This worries me greatly.

What I don't understand is if people are born homo, why haven't I seen a homo baby being delivered at any hospitals?

I lol'd hard.

Why do you care anyway?

Besides some people might consider ignorance to be a personality disorder.

Being bipolar is a Personality disorder.
Being attracted to the same sex, is not.

It's not some sort of horrible mental illness, either.

Why do so many people have such a problem if two dudes like eachother, or two girls?
It really doesn't make sense.

It's also ridiculous that a homosexuals are seen as sex fiends a lot.

It's like a Bagon at Meteor Falls. You're more likely to get a Zubat.

Wait, are all Bagon gay?

 

[piece of something]

like everything else that makes us up, i think some cases of homosexuality are natural combinations of all the stuff that makes us human

often when everything comes together a hetero is what results but sometimes a homo can pop up too!!

all part of being human, may not be considered the "norm" depending on your definition but eh...it happens

 

[Daydream]

The homo-babies thing made me lol hard too. xD

"Why nurse, I declare this baby to be a... A... A homosexual!" Everyone in the delivery faints from shock.

My well-worthy two cents on the subject. :3

I want a gay Bagon...
