Over the years I have noticed that many people including those of the LGBT groups force individuals into stereotypical categories because they have a certain personality traits that differ from what everyone labels normal. I had friends who were more feminine in their personality and by high school they were forced into a Gay mould, likewise I had girl friends who were more masculine and they too were forced into the Lesbian mould.
The problem is neither of them were born homosexual they had personalities that were not thought to be the norm and so people forced them into what they are. Just because a man is born with a personality in which he enjoys sewing, dolls or cooking does not mean the person was born a homosexual and likewise just because a girl likes sports, collecting bugs and enjoys racing her bike does not make her a homosexual.
What caused these friends into the LGBT life was the fact that their social pressure from people around them pushed them into believing they were LGBT when in fact they just had different personality that people felt were not the norm for straight people.
you see we forced people to believe they were born homosexual because we placed people into stereotypical moulds by saying they were LGBT because their personalities were not what someone somewhere said they should be.
Just because a man likes to sew and do interior decorating does not make them Gay and just because a woman liked sports and hunting doesn't make her a Lesbian. But because many who are gay or Lesbians before them said you are because your personality is not that of a real man or real woman you are something other than what you were born to be,which is a lie.
Straights and LGBT's both are responsible for this ignorance that has forced people into stereotypical GLBT mould and it does not exist. You sex and your drive are what you are born with, your personality is something entirely different and we should nurture a person for who they are male or female despite what mould we force on them because of their personality.
How tragic. Are you from Syria?

In my homeland they will throw you off a roof for being gay.
In social psychology, a stereotype is a thought that can be adopted about specific types of individuals or certain ways of doing things.[1] These thoughts or beliefs may or may not accurately reflect reality.[2][3] However, this is only a fundamental psychological definition of a stereotype.[3] Within psychology and spanning across other disciplines, there are different conceptualizations and theories of stereotyping that provide their own expanded definition. Some of these definitions share commonalities, though each one may also harbor unique aspects that may contradict the others.

it is not forcing people to be gay but making them to believe their personalities fit into stereotypes that say they MUST be gay or lesbian.
the activities don't make anyone gay. You're missing the point it is the social peer and others who say that because they arwe this way the must be gay, thereby forcing them into stereotypes not LGBT.
When people say one who sews is feminine thereby they must be a woman in a male body that is stereotyping.

A Stereo type is a preconceived idea of how someone should act according to societal opinions but not necessarily reality.
