To me, why would someone choose to be gay in a society that looks down on gay people? Do you honestly believe all these gay people want to cause problems and enjoy the attention? That they choose to be gay because they like being looked down on?
I don't.
I don't know if its a choice or if there is some kind of gene that causes it because I am not gay.
I am of the opinion that if we are going to promote the United States as a free country then we should not look down on people for whom they choose to date and have sexual relations with as long as they do not violate the other persons rights. (Such as rape, incest, children)
You said in another thread that science fails humans and it has been disproven thousands of times. Well why are you so ready to accept that gay people simply choose to be this way and that there could not be some kind of reaction that science has not found that could actually cause gay people to be who they are?

Maybe because society is prodominantly normal or straight if you will. And would naturally expect most to do the same. I would not call it pressure, i would call it expected.

For the same reason a person would choose to wear a black leather jacket when society looks down on hoodlums. I de believe some enjoy causing trouble and enjoy there efforts. When's the last time you've seen a Heterosexual parade? They choose to be gay because they want to be different or they were abused.
I do.

I have one helluva fuckup brother who was married, had three beutiful girls but just could get it together. His wife after almost twenty years of abuse decided one day to leave him and take up licking crack. She decided to do so, had nothing to do with a gene. And now she is happily married to a fine strapping butch of a female.

We are a nation that normally looks down as you say on abnormal behavior. There is a price to pay if you decide to behave in such a manner, problem is they don't want to pay it?

My ex sister in law is a good example. I could choose today if i so deemed to turn gay. All it takes is a simple change of mind. Gays do it, bisexuals do it, hetero's do it. If you found yourself in a womens body tomorrow which sex would you prefer? Then tell me how a gene made you decide that?
