Being born Gay

[Clowgon]

I disagree with this theory. For me personally it was down to the social environment that i grew up in.

There's all sorts of theory's out that that suggests why people are gay but there's a lot that i don't agree with, there's some that could be a possibility.

Do you agree that people are born Gay?

I kinda agree, too. I mean if there apparently is a cure to being gay (which they say there is on the news and what have you) then surely it's just a thing that you grow into? If you were born gay then it's hardly likely you could change that, not that I actually believe all this nonsense about having a cure to being gay.

As I'm not gay i'm going to be ignorant and not take an interest in the whole situation anyway lol

Lool, I totally disagree with this. I NEVER choose to be gay, I just started liking guys without even thinking about it - Obviously it has a little to do with your environment as you're growing up. Its not like one day, I went 'oh, it sounds good, I'm going to be gay' and also there isn't a cure |:

Yeah I do kinda agree with above because there are people who have like gay fathers who dress up as obvious transvestites that turn out to be straight.

Just because you've got a gay dad doesn't mean you're going to be... lol!

of course there isn't a cure to being gay, it's not an illness.
um i dunno. i don't think it's totally down to how you're brought up, i don't think just because guys are brought up around girls they turn out to be gay. my friend has 5 brothers and she's the only girl and one of that brothers is gay and really into football and always has been so it's not like there were things that "swayed" him into it :/ it doesn't matter if you were born that way or just figured along the way (depends how you see it), it's not an issue how you find out so i don't see why people need to debate about it.

I agree with this. I'm not gay but i think your sexual feelings are decided in the enviroment you grow up in and your not born gay

To be honest, everyone who is straight and commenting on this wouldn't really have a clue... sorry for bein' so ignorant but you wouldn't! Its not like one day, you went should I be straight or gay? Oh being straight sounds good - you were born straight, you didn't have no reason to be gay (if that makes sense).

Where as gay people just grow up liking the same sex, the environment isn't going to determine whether you are or not because if it was surely your brothers/sisters would also be gay because they been bought up in the same enviroment...

Anyway, I agree with Buttons - I don't see why we have to debate it even thought I've started

I never said that I thought was a cure but there are like Doctors and stuff saying there is a cure, but like surely gay people get offended by that if they're calling it a cure as if it's some sort of virus.

Hmm ye i can see where your coming from.

But how can anyone possibly be born gay? It's all got to bow down to the social environment you grow up in.

You say you started liking boys.. So this kinda proves that you wasn't born gay... :S
