I don't think anybody without a medical degree is qualified to answer that question.

Some are born gay, some choose to be gay. For example, broad told me a week ago she's gonna be lesbian for a month. Obviously she's on the choosingside.
With that said, i think being homosexual is a defect/disorder just like people with A.D.D. They don't fit the society "norm" so I dunno why itcan't be called that.

Ummm nah, we don't....i haven't seen a thread like this a long time. Maybe there have been gay related threads but not with the exact topic as thisone. you're the only one with a problem with this thread so chill out or leave. No one is insulting gays, no one is responding with any offensive slurs orremarks, lets keep it that way..it's a debate that we all have a right to discuss because this is a message board.
Proceed.

As a young kid I remember always being attracted to girls, but I didn't know the difference between that and being attracted to boys.
As I got older, I was still more attracted to girls but dated and even slept with a few guys.
... Now that I am older and have "been out" for a while, I have realized that I am gay..
I was born this way.. Men don't disgust me by any means ( I even am attracted to some)..
I just can't be emotionally attached to a man (as far as a serious relationship goes)..
I do believe that some people venture to "the other side" because of traumatic events (molestation, rape, abuse, etc)..

It's been proven that genetics plays a huge role in being homosexual. There doesn't necessarily have to be a "gay" gene and homosexualityshould not be considered a disease in my opinion. One has to remember that interactions between genes can play a role in being homosexual. Also, you may begenetically predisposed to being gay, but environmental factors play a huge role in how these genes are expressed. So are you born gay? I wouldn't sayit's that simple. Rather, you can (not always, people may just be born gay, but I haven't done any reading on that) be born to be inclined to beinggay. Of course, there are people who say they're gay or truly choose to be gay, whether it be for attention or how they were brought up. Environment canplay a huge role in shaping behavior, but genes are kind of like the limiting factors in how much that behavior actually changes. Homosexuality is only acomplex topic because people make it that way. Some people refuse to believe homosexuality is biological because then it would conflict with their personalbeliefs of what is natural and what isn't. But the truth is that almost everything that has to do with the human body can be explained by biology. It'snot about nature vs. nurture, it's about nurture and nature coming together to produce the unique individual. Emphasis should not be placed solely on oneor the the other. Essentially, most people who are gay were born with sets of genes that made it easier, to put it simply, to become gay. Others, like yourfriend it seems, choose to be gay for whatever reason. I'd look for articles to explain this in further detail but I don't have the time for that.

QFT.
In my lifetime I have never meet anyone who said they were born gay.
I think that homosexuals shouldnt have to result to such a lie to be accepted.
They should "man-up" and say hey like it or not I choose to be this way and Im going to be this way.

cosign...i think the majority become gay through their environment and life experiences. regardless, it's not something they can control.people can't control what sex they're attracted to. straight people don't choose to be attracted to the opposite sex, they just are. and the sameis true for gay people.
if it were a choice, then every straight person in this thread could choose to be attracted to members of the same sex if they wanted, which is not true.

the only choice they can make is to embrace what they are...they can choose their actions, not their attractions. they can choose to embrace ornot embrace a homosexual lifestyle, i'll give you that. but either way, they would still be homosexual.
