H-omosexuality is a Choice

Yea i refuse to believe anyone who says being homosexual is a choice when there are 40 year old men out there, with a wife & kids who are homosexual but because they are scared of what society, family, friends will think of them, they rather pretend to be straight their entire lives. i know a couple 'secret' homosexuals myself.

Lol, maybe the bigger problem isnt that society has problems with accepting gay people, but that people care so much about what society thinks about them. Really I cant understand why people care about what other people who they dont know think about, them. If they problem with you, you shouldn't even care about them (Unless you are a serial murderer)

I Agree, however it is a problem when someone beats you down with bats because you're homosexual Lol. the thing is the ones who are in the closet are the ones who fear change and fear what people think of them.......the ones out of the closet are more confident, and vocal about their homosexuality as witnessed in this thread lol

Point taken.

I'm not saying that h-omosexuality is right or wrong, because I honestly don't care at all. To explain the point I'm trying to make though, I'm going to use a food metaphor.

A person has an option to eat either carrots or lettuce for his meal. He chooses carrots because he prefers the taste of them, but he could have eaten lettuce if he was forced to, even if he disliked the taste of lettuce.

Another person has the same option, but he chooses lettuce because he's deathly allergic to carrots. He did not have a choose in the matter because eating the carrots would have physically harmed him.

Now for how this metaphor applies to h-omosexuality. Technically any h-omosexual could have sexual relations with a member of the opposite sex, he might strongly dislike the idea of it, but he would be at no physical risk by doing so. That doesn't mean that he should be looking for women, but that technically that option isn't impossible.

H-omosexuality isn't a mandatory choice, but a strong sexual preference.

I would have to agree with most, and say that this is a horrible analogy, although I understand what youre saying. You mean that EVERYBODY in the end, has a choice. OfcourseI could CHOOSE to take it up the bum, but would I want to? NO. Would it feel naturalfor me to do so? NO. So the same could be said for homosexuals. A gay man could CHOOSE to get with a woman, but would he want to? NO. Would it feel natural for him to do so? NO. So yes, everybody always has a choice about anything they do, but that isnt the point at all. It feels NATURAL for them to be attracted to the same sex, and things that you FEEL cant be changed so easilyby simplechoice. You cant just CHOOSE to feel differently about something you already feelso strongly about. With most things, I would say "Hey, its your opinion". But in this case, youre just wrong. Nice try though.

EDIT~~Oh yeah...and "mandatory choice" really makes no sense at all.

then perhaps you should have started a new thread? Usually, in this forum, thread that are a few eeks old that get bumped are locked. Don't tell me why they don't fix it and make peopel incapable of posting in these old threads because it wouldn't be that hard to do but it is the truth.BumFluff122

Based on the way he complained about getting posts deleted earlier, I doubt he's unaware of the rules. >_>

[QUOTE="Teenaged"]

[QUOTE="Technikiller"] I think that is an absolutely ridiculous thing to do and I don't see how posting in an unactive thread could even be conceived as incorrect or wrong. I appreciate your concern, but until I am consulted by a moderator and given an appropriate explanation as to why bumping threads is wrong then I'm going to continue to do it.Theokhoth

Yeah, not really. Engaging in sexual activities with someone of the same sex is a choice. Having the desire to do so, on the other hand, not so much.

Maybe for bisexual people, it is a choice.

But no, in most cases, it is not a choice in any shape or form. They can't pick who to be attracted to. Why should we hold it against them?

I don't think it's a choice by any means. But at the same time I don't believe people are born homosexual; it's environmental IMO. It all depends on the up brigning.

It was a typo; he meant to say that your face is choice :oops:xaos

Dayum. Well, in that case, I think a sexy party would be quite fitting. :P

Well, homosexuality isn't a word you have to censor. With that said, I just believe they don't choose to become homosexual, but they choose to stay that way.

You're using "choice" in a far narrower sense than most people are when they discuss sexual orientation. Elraptor

Nah because society tells us to be attracted to the opposite sex and what parents raise their kids to be gay DudeMXP

It doesn't neccasarily mean how our parents raised us but rather the things were exposed to, different events in our lives, and our reactions to both.

But every child is treated differently weather parents think otherwise or not. No person has the same exact childhood as another.
