Today, I came across a great debate topic while watching Jerry Springer (my brother enjoys the show) Do you (the reader) think people are born gay? This is purely a debate I'm throwing out to see other's opinion. Meaning, you're answer isn't correct/incorrect, it's how you feel. The 2nd part of the debate: Do you feel that a gay person chooses to be gay, or that it's something they can not control?
My opinion on bother topics are that we are not born with any sexual preferance. Homosexuality/heterosexuality is something that develops naturally as we get older & mature. Most people develop heterosexual tendencies so they can reproduce, something man was created for. But some, naturally develop homosexual tendencies instead, being a minority. I also feel, as a lesbian myself, that it is not a choice. My argument is: I know how many gay people are treated in this world. I would not choose to be of a class of people that are victims of hate crimes, murder, segregation, disownment from their families, hatred from friends, etc. We don't choose the path that can ultimately cause us so much misery. What do you think?

Remember, if I see ANY hate speech, cruel comments, etc. your comment will be deleted & you will be subject to a ban. Please keep this debate clean & friendly & respect others opinions. Thank You

I DO in fact believe that some humans are born naturally attracted to the same sex,Also however for some reason,some indivisuals actually choose the lifestyle,why? I have no idea, I mean,if people could see all the hate that goes on in my school simply because of my orientation,I would sure hope they wouldn't choose this path because trust me, If I could choose to be heterosexual, I would, but this is who I am,so I embrace it,I do sincerely hope people grow to accept homosexuality.

I think that it's a feeling that cannot be controlled, so you have no choice weather you are gay/bisexual, but it is your chioce to "come out"... I aslo don't think that there are such a thing as a gay/bisexual baby...

It certainly depends on environment for living. If it's something that is discouraged in your living area, then, it will become repressed, and you'll be like every other married couple in the U.S.... And vice-versa, but less likely.

I don't think you are born heterosexual/homosexual, nor do I think it's a choice. You can't force yourself to like something if you really dislike it and vice versa.

I don't know what the cause is, maybe it's influences in a person's life maybe something more bodily.

It's a choice. Otherwise, people couldn't all of a sudden switch sexualities.

@Astra Moon

exactly what I point out in my blog in my own opinion.@ panzer
We are born with NO preferance. It comes to us as we get older...through nature, environment, etc.

As you've probably noticed, a three year old child isn't sexually attracted to anything. As the child develops and matures, depending on his environment, he will be attracted to a certain gender.

In short, you aren't born homo/heterosexual, but you have little control over which one you are.

I thought this was going to be about gaga xD But I don't think it's a choice at all.. I mean, I'm straight, and I wouldn't be able to just force myself to be attracted romantically to girls. If you think homosexuality is a "choice" then you're basically saying you could be like that if you just tried to. But I do think that certain things in your life can help influence your sexuality.

Maybe it also has to do with what you're attracted to, if girls generally have whatever quality you're looking for then you might be a lesbian/bisexual, and same for guys.

And then maybe it is horomonal, like something to do with testosterone levels, eh.

Just cause borning Gay or lesbian either bisexual is Epicly inlogical.

I think you must have somewhat of a choice however it might not be something you can control, because everybody's hormones are different. But you probably know more than me, because I am only 10 so they don't usually educate us on this. I am straight, but while we are on the subject, gay/lesbian/bisexual pride all the way.

I think tehjew1 has summed up MY opinion as well.

You should've added the lines: "I'm on the right track, baby. I was born this way!" to each sentance of your opinion.

Just kidding. I would like to say that.. I don't find this worth debating at all. (Then why bother reading? I actually didn't.) BUT that is just the selfish side of myself, I find my own basic the best reasonable answer on anything. So you may actually compare me to Osama Bin Laden, but only less hairy and fearsome and the fact that I don't want to kill anyone else for not reasoning with my thoughts of everything.

Now, don't take me wrong. My thoughts of homosexuality are not ignorant as so many's.

I believe it's a choice one human learns fro an epiffany later on in life. Can they control it? Yes and no. It depends on the person at hand.

I think you are born being gay. I think that it is a gene that produces hormones to determine sexuality. Let's call it P and Q. Two P's make you straight, a P and a Q make you Bi and two Q's make you fay.

Or, if the parents hammer ]btheir[/b] opinions, morals, choices and such into him, but yes, all babies are neutral.

@COMMANDER
13 May 2011 18:05

We are all born with a choice. Being gay is a choice you make.
Besides, you can't be literally BORN gay, because you're born without a sexuality anyways. A baby is neither gay nor straight. Thus, proving that God let's us born with a choice. It's not just sexuallity. A baby is neutral with all sides or choices, until the child comes of age to make that decision FOR HIM/HERSELF.

@The Ram

Hm... I can't really take a side, but, I'd have to say it's a choice, when you exit your mother, you're not invisibly stamped "HOMOSEXUAL" or "HETEROSEXUAL" on your head, those feelings and opinions occur later in life.
