    Homosexuality - is it biological or psychological?

    I'm asking seriously... Most people say that it's not a choice, but people are born homosexual.. so my question is, is it something that can be explained biologically? like they're missing a certein hormone, or have too much of it or whatever (I don't know biology..) or is it something psychological that have to do with their mind/brain? is there a certein answer for this?
    can one be turned from homosexual to straight with the right treatment?

    also, I'd like to know if someone can become a homosexual? or is it you either born this way or you're always straight... do you think that in the new millenium there are more gay/bi people then in the past, or is it just that in the past less of them have exposed themselves?

    It is psychological. No one is born gay.

      and gay people like to fool themselves into believing it is biological, and they're born gay... because otherwise, it would mean there's something wrong with them.

        Its a choice. I bad one, but a choice. They can change, but either do not have the mental abilty to do so, or they just love the cock.

              Which, by default, makes it psychological.

                Its not biological.

                Its just like smoking. You aren't born a smoker, but once you see it, try it, and like it, you become chemically (bioligically) addicted.

                Its a choice most young adults make because its an easy reason to explain past problems such as not fitting in with the cool crowd or a ploy for attention or to gain access to a like minded group.


                No 2 year old kid is gay. Its a product of environment.

                If it were biological, homesexual males rectums would generate a natural lubricant.

                  People are born gay. People are born straight. People are born bisexual. It's bio-chemical and I don't care what anyone says. No one chooses their sexual preferences on any level; even subconsciously. It's hard coded in us. The majority disagree with this, and that's ok... I believe in science and one day it will be proven.

                        btw I always tend to believe it's psychological... at least in most cases

                        and I also think that there are more gay people today then say 20 years ago and this is due to the much greater exposure homosexuality is getting in the media and in social life...

                              Answer me this:


                              What if a gay man goes through his whole life without having sex with another man. Is he a homosexual?


                              What if a straight man gets drunk and has gay sex. Is he gay?


                              Sounds to me like those would be making "choices"

                                  I remember hearing some doctor around here say that it was some missing chemical in their heads or someshit like that.

                                    well, a minority of straight people can't reproduce, and it's purely biological...

                                            Considering that homosexuality is found in nature, I would say that it's more natural than religious zealots like to make it out to be. There's lots of scientific proof of this type of behavior.

                                            There have also been several books written on the subject. One that is particularly good, is Biological Exuberance : Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity, by Bruce Bagemihl. Interesting to check into.

                                              Out of curiosity...

                                              Of everyone who is saying that it is a "choice" - how many of you are homosexual?

                                                point is most people are straight... so maybe there is a minority of gay people and it's something biological, just like there is a minority of straight people who can't reproduce due to biological reasons

                                                  Of everyone who is saying that it is a "choice" - how many of you are homosexual?

                                                  i think most homosexuals would say that it's biological...

                                                              There is a town of people in the states who all have 6 fingers. It's a genetic trait that is passed on and has carried on there through the generations. Humans actually carry a gene for 6 fingers, but it rarely shows up. Doesn't mean it isn't there or isn't possible.

                                                                I see, you make a good point.

                                                                I just think that sexuality is a product of environment. No one is born "sexual"

                                                                The slow and gradual events of life define the meaning of sex and life for each indivdual person.


                                                                I believe you could separate identical twins at birth and put them two opposite households. I belive they would look and act different as they got older.


                                                                Lets say one lives with a Nice christian redneck familly in Texas. The other grows up with a lesbian couple in San Fransico.

                                                                Would you be surprised if one of the twins grew older and became a homosexual.

                                                                I realize thats a childish example, but I belive it helps prove my point.

                                                                        I just think that sexuality is a product of environment. No one is born "sexual"

                                                                        The slow and gradual events of life define the meaning of sex and life for each indivdual person.


                                                                        I believe you could separate identical twins at birth and put them two opposite households. I belive they would look and act different as they got older.


                                                                        Lets say one lives with a Nice christian redneck familly in Texas. The other grows up with a lesbian couple in San Fransico.

                                                                        Would you be surprised if one of the twins grew older and became a homosexual.

                                                                        I realize thats a childish example, but I belive it helps prove my point.

                                                                        Do a little more research on twins and you might revise that view.

                                                                          When a gay man has an orgasm, it is the same feeling as a straight man. He has just made the "CHOICE" to get it by sticking it in some mans poop chute instead of some skanks what not.

                                                                            Apparently, other animals have been shown to be homosexual.

                                                                            Personally, I don't think it matters. If you're gay wether you choose it, or you're born into it, the result is the same ... you enjoy being that way and would rather live your life that way than straight.

                                                                            BTW, homosexuality throughout history is well documented.

                                                                                    They find other like people that blame it on their sexuality. "Its not my fault, I was born this way"

                                                                                        They find other like people that blame it on their sexuality. "Its not my fault, I was born this way"
                                                                                        Its the easy way out.

                                                                                        Thats why they feel so relieved when they come out of the closet. They are publically admitting they were cool, just everyone was wrong about them.
                                                                                        I'm sorry, I don't buy it. A lot of people dont fit into the cool crowd and don't turn out gay. If anything it *may* have something to do with them being sexually abused as a child, but those people go both ways and it probably is environmentally caused. But a truly gay person was without a doubt born that way.

                                                                                                    The slow and gradual events of life define the meaning of sex and life for each indivdual person.


                                                                                                    I believe you could separate identical twins at birth and put them two opposite households. I belive they would look and act different as they got older.


                                                                                                    Lets say one lives with a Nice christian redneck familly in Texas. The other grows up with a lesbian couple in San Fransico.
