[spoiler]If being gay is a choice, then could you with no outside stimulation, or thoughts of the opposite sex ever entering your mind, yourself become aroused by the sight of someone of the same sex?[/spoiler]
If you can, congrats;
[spoiler]You are gay! [b][i]YAY![/b][/i][/spoiler]
So if you're gay, and someone you know or even your family (Only posting this because of this [url=http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/68364757/0/0]thread[/url]) gives you a hard time, or quotes the bible and claims you to be an abomination for your 'choice', then ask them this question. If they are not completely lost from the realm of rational thought, it should get some gears rolling in their minds.
[spoiler][b]NOTE:[/b] I know that not all religious individuals are like this, there are many good religious people that accept and embrace gays. It's unfortunate that some rotten eggs have to give all, Christians for example, a bad name. Then again, it's not entirely they're fault if they are only blind because of indoctrination as a child.[/spoiler]
I wish the best to you and hope it gets better.
Now, to add some discussion value to this thread, here's some [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2H5YVfZVFw]cats[/url]. Enjoy!
[b][i]EDIT:[/b][/i] If you can not answer the OP question with a simple yes or no, then you are essentially proving my point. Don't deny it. If you believe being gay is a choice, and you believe this for religious reasons, then does your religion not teach you to answer truthfully? If you can not do so, you know we are right.
Being gay is [i]not[/i] a choice, at least, not a [i]conscious[/i] choice. That's not to speak on acting on those thoughts, of course that's a choice, but nobody choices to be attracted to the same sex.

Only autistic bellends think it's a choice and that it's wrong. Asking them when they chose to be straight usually shuts them up.

Edited by Poweezy: 9/3/2014 12:41:42 AMSo if homosexuals were born that way then does that mean baby -blam!-ers and animal lovers were also born that way too? Being gay is a choice/mental illness. It is no coincidence that the vast majority of gay women are ugly women who couldn't get a guy even if they tried so they resort to dati8ng weird woman men looking things

It is a choice, and it has much to do with your surroundings and influence. Someone who grew up in a house of smokers isn't guarenteed to be a smoker, but it is more likely. Same goes for homosexuality. Source: I have a major in neursoscience. Will probably go back for a masters soon.

I didn't read this due to the obnoxious use of spoilers and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Soon there will be medication to fix whatever chemical imbalance or brain deficiency that they were born with and we won't have to talk about it anymore

Well free religion and what not so the US will have some form of religion for many years myself I'm a Christian and I do not enjoy gay people being here.
-
Gay people are here because the earth is producing them to help cut back on the over population of the earth. It's earth's way at fighting back

It serves no reproductive purpose.

Op is gay.

Edited by Kakashi1012: 9/7/2014 5:19:56 AMAsk: [spoiler]"did you choose to be straight?"[/spoiler] I'm personally not gay, but I believe that people should do what makes them happy.

I don't get why people constantly bash homophobes. WE ARE PEOPLE TOO. You know, a lot of us didn't ask to be this way. It's not my fault, so don't hate me for it. You guys don't realize how hard it being ashamed of the way you are. When I came out to my parents about being a homophobe they told me I wasn't their son and that they never wanted to see me again. When I apply for a job and I tell them I am an open homophobe they immediately kick me out of their office. I HATE BEING A HOMOPHOBE, almost as much as I hate gays. [b]I WAS BORN THIS WAY, DONT HATE ME FOR IT.[/b]

I love how divided people are on the subject. We got the Christians who hate gays and athiests, We got the Christians who love gays and "love" atheists We got the atheists who hate Christians and gays We got the atheists who love gays and hate christians.

The only place in the world where its said homosexuality isn't natural is the KJVHoly Bible. The Gospel. Thats my belief. But i also believe we shouldn't judge others for anything. It's not our choice to decide who, what, and what they're destined for. Only God. But a spade is a spade. A homo is a homo. Dont take it personal guys/gals.

Thanks man, I get a ton of shit for being gay, and this will help a lot. :)

Edited by Athhena: 9/4/2014 12:03:41 AMBeing gay isn't wrong. There is nothing wrong with people who are gay. Seriously though, all you homophobes with your ignorant shit disgust me, your gene pool needs some chlorine because you shouldn't breed. If I were a Bungie employee I would be ashamed and embarrassed at having fans like you. People say it's a choice and illness because if they don't the religious would have to accept that GOD made them that way and they wouldn't be able to discriminate, even though they still would.

No. What a dumb question. OP is a gay lover.
-
If you watch lesbian porn then you have no right to bash on someone's sexuality.
-
Sometimes you just gotta suck a dick. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't. Doesn't make you gay, just... More worldly.

I believe its more biological than a choice but if you really wanna choose to love the same sex Im cool with that.
-
What about bi(s)?
-
Being gay isn't a a choice, but that doesn't make it less wrong.

Edited by AristonSparta: 8/31/2014 5:35:50 PMYour question has a gross miscalculation. Humans are always under the influence of outside forces our entire lives. We were shaped by these forces. Then to ask us to try and imagine ourselves without those forces acting upon us to make a life altering decision is just... leading. You are leading the question. No valuable insight can be gained from this, only self uplifting ignorance and determinative viewpoints.

Being gay is a choice and logically if I wanted to I could become aroused by the same sex, it's simple
-
Being gay is still a choice. We all know gender change is a choice, what is the difference?
