See now these 'debates' always anger me, 1, Christianity is nothing more then the adaptation of numerous other religions so stop using it as a source of reference (im sorry but it's true and those who are any good at research will no doubt know it by now) and 2, sexuality is made up by different underline factors be it you have more oestrogen in your biological make up then many other males or there is the environmental factors i.e how you were raised by your parents, what your friend say as your growing up how you see others act about it so on so forth, and as a child this has a psychological effect on the person determining how they themselves will later react.
My belief is this, not a single person is born straight, as a baby love is love be it from a man or a woman, life happens and then you grow up to be either straight, bi-sexual, gay or trans-gender. Simply saying god didn't want it that way is no valid excuse to be homophobic, make your own mind up that's one of the reasons you joined this site isn't it? to find you own opinions and such.

If people are really born gay, that means it's a birth defect.
Right. Kinda like how being born with green eyes is a birth defect. I guess that about ends this discussion.
Yeah....you should quit, while you're ahead. Sexual preference and eye color? You couldn't do better than that?
How about being born that way vs. Down's Syndrome. At least...compare apples with apples.
so gays are like people with down's syndrome?... that's not much better the green eyes serving a purpose for sex.

However, I have a sincere, honest question in response to the claim LGBTs and LGBT-defenders make - that they are, for some reason, born that way. For example - we wouldn't discriminate someone who was born with a disease or something, because it isn't their fault, they had no choice, they were born that way.

Okay, guys. This thread gets about 2 pages of posts in about a minute, so it's gotten extremely hard to respond to -everything- when I have to do things like, sleep. The problem is, MOST of these responses all share a common theme - they ask "Why does it matter?" "Do you really care about who sleeps with who?" and things like that.
There are people claiming I'm a typical Christian, there are people claiming I'm not a Christian at all.
There are people claiming I'm a bigoted pig, and there are some who think I have an agenda.
There are people claiming I'm making implications that I'm not, that I'm making assumptions and pointing fingers.
Let's make one thing clear.
I don't care who you sleep with.
I care about knowledge. I care about where this supposed "inherited" gene came from, if it even EXISTS.
Here's what I've gotten so far, from all the responses -
The gene does exist, Homosexuals are born that way just like people who are left handed are born that way.
The gene doesn't exist, because genetics cannot predict behavior, desires, attractions.
It's a choice, with testimonies of homosexuals who pursue heterosexual relations and never went back.
It's not a choice, with testimonies of homosexuals who simply are NOT attracted to the opposite gender.
It's effected by environment, or at least a factor, as two parents who are in the medical field, increases the child's odds of him being in the medical field.
It's not effected by environment, as there are stories of children adopted by homosexual parents that are purely heterosexual when they grow up.
After all this, I think we can safely come to the conclusion..
That nobody #ing knows.

This is a troll post. My God "instructs" me that the act of homosexual relations is a sin. A man loving a man is perfectly fine. A woman loving a woman is perfectly fine. Love is encouraged, lust isn't, in ANY case (even between a man and woman).

Are you saying there is something wrong with people with downs syndrome and that they are second class people who ought not to be married?
I hope not because that would make you worse scum than before.

But generally speaking, I suspect most homosexuals are homosexual for psychological reasons.
In any case, most homosexuals would rather blame their sexual tastes on their genes. It makes it easier on them.

I do not hate homosexuals either. I do not belong to any organized religion. What happens between consenting adults is none of my business.
Is homosexuality genetically determined? In rare cases, yes. There are cases of hermaphrodites and other medical oddities. Some men have very little testosterone. Look at someone like Truman Capote.
But generally speaking, I suspect most homosexuals are homosexual for psychological reasons.
Look at how many boys are raised by single women in this country. It's practically epidemic. Fathers are prominent by their absence. Many boys grow up without positive adult male role models.
And I'm not going into the number of boys who are "turned" by older male homosexuals.
The young are taught that moral codes are obsolete & irrelevant to modern life.
Misogyny is rampant throughout the world. Men are considered superior to women on EVERY level.
To the misogynist, women exist for breeding and menial labor.
Truth be told, many men will pork just about anything. Women hate to hear that, but it's the truth.
Why is homosexuality being promoted so vigorously by mainsteam media?
Much of the media is controlled by homosexuals. Mike Ovitz (sp?) called it the "Gay Mafia". They are real and powerful.
TPTB birthing the NWO want to encourage homosexuality to destroy the traditional nuclear family. The child's allegiance will be to the State Corporation, not the family.
The first step in destroying the family was to destroy women thru the Feminist movement. That was done in the 1960's thru the 1980's.
Homosexuality may serve as a form of birth control.
In any case, most homosexuals would rather blame their sexual tastes on their genes. It makes it easier on them.

Your proof?
Makes what easier? I am quite at home with being gay and I don't need to BLAME it on anything or anyone, I was born this way and that's all I had to come to terms with, I am happy with myself and my life, but judging by the number of gay threads started by "straights" most of you are so unhappy with your lives you would rather focus on why the gays exist and why we are happier than you are! We are happy because we love ourselves and each other! Get out of our bedrooms, we don't invade yours!
