Obviously history began yesterday for the OP. Homosexuality had long been classified a mental disorder akin to pedophilia.

"Based on scientific and medical evidence the APA declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder in 1973 ? a position shared by all other major health and mental health organizations based on their own review of the science," James H. Scully Jr., head of the psychiatric association, said in a letter to the Defense Department's top doctor earlier this month.

Yup, definitely started yesterday for me :roll:
 
homosexuality is a choice. not a desease, disorder, or even genetical.
I don't want to speak for people born with both sex organs...but i guess w/e is the dominant should as in be the assumed orientation.

We can all tell how secure you are. You are a real man. I bet all the ladies love you.
 
In the end it doesn't matter what it is classified as or what causes it. All that really matters is that an adult can have sex with any other consenting adult he/she feels like, and that's nobody's business but theirs.

Don't bring nature into it. Humans have transcended nature.

Dumba$$. Just because we try to control nature doesn't mean we succeed. We can't do a flippin' thing about hurricanes, for example. People are born male or female for a reason...

Yup, definitely not worth arguing about the fact that you were pretty much wrong.

Unless you're married, or you had to pay for it, or if you do it in public viewing, etc.. 😉

God Created Gays < 10 thousand years ago. He did it after hiding the Dinosaur bones.
He created pedophiles and necrophiles back then too. What's your point?

It is not classified as a mental illness.

Are you expecting the human genome project to find a gay gene? I am just curious, a lot of the people I know think you are born that way but I personally don't think so. I am wondering if the genome project maps every gene and doesn't find one determining sexuality if people will still say you are born gay.

the geneome project already has mapped every gene. but we still have no clue how all of those proteins fold, when they are made, what triggers thier production or how they manipulate and possibly change each other once they are associating in the body.
so no, i wouldn't expect the human genome project to find a "gay" gene.

At what age did you choose to be heterosexual? Was it a hard decision?

Have you considered the possibility that it could involve multiple genes? For instance, eye color, a seemingly much simpler trait is controlled by more than one gene.

i also believe homosexuality is a choice. i don't recall when i determined that i liked girls and frankly it wasn't a hard decision. next?

You said "Homosexuality had long been classified a mental disorder akin to pedophilia" when it was clearly disproved as being a mental disorder over 30 years ago. What more proof do you need? Are you mentally challenged?

Don't bother.
This thread went from "possibly interesting" to "filled with morons" pretty fast.
I would cut your losses with this thread and let it sink.

Remembering something that never happened. I love the logic behind that.
