What is the 'cause' of homsexuality?

[ch'ang]

I don't know.... why does it matter?

I agree with Maize on this one it doesn't really matter if it is a choice or not it is the way a person wants to live their life and does not harm others. But most people care because they want to condemn homosexuals and it is real hard to condemn someone if they have no choice in the matter so they would like you to think that it is a conscious choice

Just don't let him try to be something he's not. My Other had been playing Married Man for years before holding up the pretense, among other things, caused him a series of breakdowns and an eventual self-outing. Altogether, it about killed him. You don't want your kids going through that, so try to avoid it.

I will bear that in mind should he begin to display signs that are considerably demonstrative.

 

[Sunstone]

Tell me that that is a joke and that you haven't actually ever heard that as a causation....please!!!!

Unfortunately, I have indeed heard someone say that homosexuality is caused by demonic possession. But then again, I live in a town which is notorious for fundamentalism. I hear a lot of strange things in this town.

I think that it is a psychological development brought on by surroundings or upbringing. I do not believe that it is anything genetic, but only because there is no proof of a gene or genetic strand that can be considered "the gay gene". If that is found to be true, I will quickly change my opinion.

Jesus, and all this time I thought it was in the drinking water.

I don't know why some people are gay. But I also like that beer commercial 'Why ask why?' Just accept. And love all equally. :icon_razz

It's all actually one great big homosexual recruiting effort...

That is a wonderfully honest and moral outlook, and whilst I agree with you, it is, I think, generally accepted by the medical profession that sexual orientation is either a matter of genetics (unlikely though) or hormonal variations during gestation.

It is important that this message be understood. There are enough people who would like any excuse to have homosexuality deemed as a 'choice' in order to be able to vote against equal rights for gays.

 

[Sunstone]

How could anyone joke about something as evil as homosexuality?!

True. If you put a sample of blood from a homosexual under a microscope, you can see tiny little demons starring back at you from each blood cell. Some of them actually wave in their demonic way. And I once saw two demons of the same sex hug each other right before they asked me to take their picture. It was a very strange experience, and ever since, I haven't had even the least inclination to get drunk and look into a microscope again.

Excellent point, Michel. I had a good friend who's younger brother was gay. His brother, from a young age, was always ... I don't know, different? Didn't want to do what other boys did, but wanted to play dolls and such with the girls. When he got older, he had no interest in girls. So, no, it's not a choice.

Not all gay men are effeminate, though...are they different? (actually a serious question right there, do you suppose there are different "types" of homosexuality with different causes?)

Very good question. I have no answers to it.

 

[mr.guy]

I don't think effeminancy is a "type" of homosexuality. Plenty of straight guys can be "girly".

 

[Green Gaia]

Can there be any real doubt that homosexuality is caused by demonic possession?

Of course! It all makes perfect sense now.

Gays and lesbians don't fear the opposite sex, they just don't want to have sex with them.

 

[Solon]

Same difference I would of thought ?

No, why would you assume so? Not wanting to have sex with someone or not being attracted to them doesn't mean you're afraid of them.

I don't wish to have sex with you Solon but that does not mean I am afraid of you .

I don't want to have sex with....

but I'm more afraid of his policies than he himself....mind you his wayward niece isn't bad looking...​

(by the way has anyone noticed the poll looks like a day at the races...pretty much neck and neck....)​

 

[Tek]

No it is not a choice realy but you can chose not to do the activites of homosexuality....
