No in fact I was born that way. It is written into my DNA so that my species will survive. Maybe your right they are born that way and thats natures little way of saying you should not reproduce.

What would be the point of homosexuality written into DNA from an evolution standpoint?

I think a lot of you are crazy.

Though AIDS may be back on an incline among YOUNG homosexuals and those performing homosexual practices, it is because there are a lot of young people that have started to not care about AIDS for some reason.

Most of the gays I know are HIV- and only practice safe sex. However, nearly all of the gays I know are 20 or over, and are much more mature and responsible than teenagers (here and I'm 19, and practice safe sex; many would confuse me for a 30 year old with things that I say and do in real life :-/). I don't really even want to get into discussion about all of the tradition gay fight stuff, such as whether some were born with it, etc. I have had no doubt in my entire life that I'm gay, and have tried to change. No idea how I can change. I've made a thread about it here before. I was not successful in changing. Period. As for laws against homosexuality, I would likely seriously entertain the thought of suicide if it were illegal for me to be gay or perform gay practices.

Indeed it is stupid that people would stereotype an entire school, entity, or geographical area because of the majority or minority there, such as some people in this thread are doing. It's also stupid to stereotype gays; there is no "gay" as many people believe there is. While I'm out to all of my coworkers, I also work with hundreds of people that have absolutely no idea that I am gay. One gay man that happens to work with me occasionally didn't know that I was gay until he found my profile and picture on a website. Point? Stop stereotyping.

As for hate crimes and gay assaults: I believe that gays should do all that they can to protect themselves, be it joining gun clubs, getting CCW permits, talking in an open forum with other people, whatever it is that will solve problems at the second. I personally believe that owning a gun would be beneficial to many gays because there are those precious few minutes between when you might call the police and when they would arrive - and a lot could happen in that time.

<edit>

For the few posts that happened while I was writing this:

Feel free to conduct your own survey of all of the homosexuals in your area. I guarantee that the majority will say that they did not chose their orientation. Furthermore, it would not surprise me if a good percentage of those people would say that they would become straight if they could.

I've talked to a lot of gay people. And not one that I have talked to has said anything contrary to what I just said.

Hey Geek Drew, i respect ya brotha for being open. Not all of us think like this. I know its hard, damn hard, I won't even try to think how hard it is. But we respect you, there are millions of us that respect you, and care about your community. don't let the bastards get you down, because there are always bastards. bastards that hate you because of your religion. bastards that hate you because of your ethnicity, bastards that hate you because of your nationality, bastards that hate you because of your skin color, bastards that hate you because of your class, bastards that hate you becuz... they hate. PERIOD.

the laws [against homosexuals and sodomy, etc.] are absolutely retarded. and laws are made by people like us, the masses of society. we shouldn't always think our government is right. we should be intelligent enough to question our government, our society, our religion. God gave us the ability to discern between right and wrong, and God gave us the capacity to do this in our own way, we do not need to be followers.

Hopefully, when my generation takes seats of power, and rights the laws we will make a difference. Hopefully, like the blacks have freedom today, one day, homosexuals will be there too. keep on keeping on man.

There are a lot of minorities in Texas.

My boy loves it there. He lives in Dallas. People down there seemed like anywhere else. Now Biloxi, Miss. is a different story :eek:.

In the process of evolution the jaw has become smaller, allowing less room for the third molars and causing numerous dental problems. Our better understanding of the complex teeth-jaw relationship has revealed this explanation is far too simplistic. Research now indicates that the reasons for most third molar problems today are not due to evolutionary changes but other reasons. These reasons include a change from a course abrasive diet to a soft western diet, lack of proper dental care, and genetic factors possibly including mutations. Common past dental practice was a tendency to routinely remove wisdom teeth. Recent empirical research has concluded that this practice is unwise. Third molars in general should be left alone unless a problem develops and then they should be treated as any other teeth. At times removal is required, but appropriate efforts to deal with problem teeth should be implemented before resorting to their extraction.

Yeah God will understand. He makes me look like a gay rights advocate-

"You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. "
"If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death; their blood is upon them."

or if you would like to call hi Allah

"Of all the creatures in the world, will ye approach males, And leave those whom Allah has created for you to be your mates? Nay, ye are a people transgressing (all limits)!" (26:165-166).

"Would ye really approach men in your lusts rather than women? Nay, ye are a people (grossly) ignorant!" (27:55).

"For ye practise your lusts on men in preference to women : ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds." (7:81). "And we rained down on them a shower (of brimstone): Then see what was the end of those who indulged in sin and crime!" (7:84). "He said: "O my Lord! help Thou me against people who do mischief!"" (29:30).
