People aren't born gay, no.
 

 people arent born with teeth or hair either


If you say so.

I don't believe any cell or gene defines your sexual orientation, that's all.


is this a belief informed in any way by facts and knowledge? or are you just guessing wildly

Is the belief that people are born gay informed in anywayy by facts and knowledge, and not something they use as a basic excuse to tell Mormon's that their lifestyle is great and natural to them?

I don't think all the gays have chosen as such. I think it has a lot to do with things that have happened to them, during their childhood, that affects how we think.

I bet some people do choose to be gay, for whatever reason... attention, etc, Those are the people who go round with eyeliner, straightened blond hair and open shirts showing off their waxed chests and all the other things Chris Crocker does.

Some people are gay and just get on with it without making a scene of themselves.

And for some reason, half the anti-gay homophobes are in fact gay themselves. Are you gay?

Humans are born into heterosexual behaviorisms. It's when their mind is fully developed that they can harbor homosexual behavior (which can be exhibited as early as five). It's been clinically proven that a male child is mentally in love with his mother. A female is immediately attached to her father. That's what I learned when I took a child care course at college.

Gay is having a cock in your ass or mouth, or sticking your own in another guy. Last I checked, no one is born that way; perhaps some really messed up twin situation, but I don't want to know, really.

it's just how their minds are wired. that's like asking "what makes straight people straight?" or " what makes schizophrenic people schizophrenic?". they're just born like that. some of them can pretend not to be but they still are.

Well, you can't help who you love. Love is about love not gender.
wrong

how?

 
and yes people can be born gay


Wrong because you explain fuck all.

Statistically, men with older brothers are more likely to be gay than men who are the first-born/only have older biological sisters. It's something to do with how the more testosterone accumulates in the woman's body after having sons, the more the body rejects it, since testosterone is 'unnatural' in the female body. This rejection is then assumed to pass to the son.

Obtw, these statistics are extremely tiny. It's something like 1% of men are gay who have no older brothers, 2% for 2 older brothers, 3% for 3 older brothers, and so forth.

well i'd have to read the actual study to show you
basically you'll see a lot of studies like "over half of womens magazine readers are men"
but when you're dealing with small samples theres way too much to consider for you to ever be sure of such a conclusion
and yet they come out with it anyway because it sounds interesting

It's from a Scientific American magazine from a few years back, from a sample of 100,000 or so men. I realise it's still small compared to the population of the world, however, it's still an interesting concept.
