[Technologic]

Why do you choose to be straight?

Same Q, different word

[5,5]

I have a q, do gay people really choose to be gay, or are they born that way. Or will the world never know?

There isn't a gene that makes you gay or straight or bi or paedo or zoo or w.e.

[Agesilaus]

No one is born with a true sexuality, no one can be 100% straight or 100% gay, its not possible, its only when you age and are able to experience sexual interation that you are able to choose which you prefer.

I agree with Rasputen here. I think it's more of a personality thing than it is genetic.

It takes all types I guess.

I disagree with 'its a personality choice'. I'm tidy and polite, thats because i have been brought up that way. I'm also homosexual, but that relates in no way to my surroundings. I know plenty of people in the same family unit as me who aren't gay. Are you saying my gay voice is a personality choice? It isn't. You try putting on a false voice every day of your life, it won't work. It's natural for me, as is my attraction to men.

I've been lead to believe there is. As is there a gene which makes you prone to believing in god and other religious stuff.

I always thought sexuality was an adaptation brought on by upbringing. From what I've seen, there's been loads of failed attempts at finding a gene. Although either way makes it no more a conscious choice.
