Sexual orientation is set in the womb

Story

Just thought id post this for the people who still believe homsexuality is a choice.

Peoples thoughts?

Pretty much just reaffirms what i believed in the first place.

The idea that homosexuality is a choice has always been laughable

That means that any straight man could choose to be gay

pwned.

This just adds on to the research that showed certain mental reactions to female and male pheramones in gay woman/straight men and gay men/straight woman, in which, the gaymen/straight woman were attracted to the same thing and vice versa

Good find.

Pwned indeed. I wonder what homophobes will come up with next...

even scientific data wont be able to convince some people on here, no matter what they find about hormones and chemicals and brains size, and even no matter how many times gay men and women themselves say it wasnt a choice, some people will always be to ignorant when it comes to this issue.SaintLeonidas

No, teh Gheyz r just bored straight guys! :cry:

Thats certainly not strong enough evidence. Maybe if they did something like study the brains while there still fetus then wait to see them grow up then I'd believe it. But even that wouldn't change the fact that I've heard so many stories about girls who got in a bad relationship with a man, decided to sware off men, and go completely lesbian. Silenthps

people like that are stupid and probably very lonely, because no logical person makes the decision to be persecuted by society.

It's not a choice, people can obviously make the choice to partake in homosexual relations but to actually be gay is not a choice

So you're saying that the brain structure could have changed during the person's lifetime? Right...

And by the way, the women you are talking about are feminisits, a minority...

Ive had quite a few bad relationships with girls before and got badly hurt, but i certainly havent started liking men... :?

Well I think the researcher doing said study is forgetting that in Behavioral Biology it is generally accepted that it isn't "Nature or Nurture" it is "Nature AND Nurture". This doesn't explain the occasional person who seems to switch orientation mid-life.

It's a mix of your physical development, and your experiences really

my guess is its not a strictly digital thing in a person's brain.. that is straight or gay with no area in between. its probably more shades of gray.. which is why you have people who are bisexual and are completely comefortable with that.

now, the question is if people's sexuality is determined while in the womb, it will probably be possible to do tests on the fetus and find out if it is gay or straight. This will allow parents to be able to abort the fetus if it is gay which will anger gay activists and most likely turn them against abortion, imagine that the gays and the conservatives on the same side for once. Although i do fear that the horrific possibility of aborting fetuses just because they're gay might cause some on the Christian life to support abortion, (hopefully that number will be few, most conservative Christians don't think gays have a right to marry, but only an idiot thinks they don't have the right to live). Hopefully such a development will lead to the demise of the holocaustic monster of abortion.whipassmt

This.

That's like saying if I turn out to become a Serial Killer, it's purely because of what happened to me in the womb.

My dad has 3 sisters. :|

Two of which were born before him, or are you talking towards the lower end of the economic scale?

But then they say "only under certain circumstances..."

This is too much like people rejecting evolution, new evidence is continueing to be found but there's always those who just refuse to listen to it.
