no one is born gay, the reason we have sexual impulses is becuase we must propogate our species. There is no 'gay' gene. People are influenced to be gay, some men may be more feminine, and have a greater chance of becoming gay, but it is my opinion that people are born without sexuality, but with a desire to mate.
So then on one is born straight either?
What about kids who grow up in a gay household that turn out straight, or vice versa?

Heck, somebody made a post a few weeks back linking to a study that says if you're a religeous person it's not because you made that decision through countless hours of mental reasoning....it's because you were born that way. You're not fat because you overeat...you were born that way.

:thumbsup: for urinating on every person who prefers to shift blame for life's problems on other things.

it's pretty one sided. he fails to acknowlege that many human qualities are indeed determined before birth. Hair color, eye color, handedness (left handed, right handed), some aspects of personality and temperament, etc. blame implies someone or something is at fault. I see homosexuality as a perfectly natural and healthy, normal veriation of human sexuality (just as being left handed is a perfectly normal human variation) and therefore I wouldn't use the word "blame" when talking about causes. You might as well ask what is to blame for people being straight.

Maybe the kids realize their parents are dumbasses.

I knew I *wasn't* gay in the 2nd grade when one of the 'special' kids at school beat me up, pulled down my pants and grabbed my manhood and then tried to bite it. Worst moment of my life, and one I will never forget.
What does that have to do with sexuality? I don't think a gay 2nd grader (if there is such a thing) would've liked that any more than you did...

"I was a gay fetus." I highly doubt that.
I hear the faint sound of something thumping....

You ever see the movie "American Beauty"? You're the kid's military father.
 
Ahh i don't want to say anything on this subject, so i won't. But damn, if you're gay, you're gay. You don't have to make it all public, asking for marriage, talking like a bitch and acting feminine. Just bang guys and move on with your life.

No, i'm not gay.

KY jelly and a sphinctor is all you need. If you're gay that is.

KY?!!? Any respectable gay man knows to use Pjor Eros 😛
 
"Any respectable gay man" Its just to bad gay men will never be respectable.

"Wow - compelling argument. " And what would you like me to argue about? How it is highly unlikely he has such an excellent memory that he could know that?

"Wow, everyone is entitled to their opinions, I just hope karma doesn't kick in if and when you decide to have children... " Good thing i dont believe in karma.

"You ever see the movie "American Beauty"?" No, I have not. But im sure its an uninteresting story of a gay person finding there way through the world.

Yeah it is pretty one sided. There are tests for ADHD that actually measure brain-waves in known affected areas that can reliably determine if there is a problem or not. Granted, in the majority of cases, children with poor parents try to solve their problems with a pill for their child (in the case of ADHD) that they hope will solve their problems. But there is a scientific test now, although it isn't' used much unfortunately. Also, instead of saying you became religious after years of mental reasoning, one could argue that is it brainwashing.

Things that are obviously self inflicted like alcoholism shouldn't be compared to developmental disorders that clearly have a correlation with things such as premature birth, etcetera. Though certain people may be prone to developing alcoholism (and, if I recall correctly, these people are more prone to develop addictions to many things), there is still a willful act that triggers it. That is not the case with some other things listed.
