Question: Is homosexuality a choice!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Is heterosexuality a choice!? I think that people come wired a certain way, and are possibly influenced by sociological factors (nature vs!. nurture)!.

All the gay/bisexual friends I've known haven't chosen to be who they are!. That is, people who genuinely find the same or both sexes attractive!.

I've known people who engaged in homosexual behavior (say a threesome) while defining themselves as straight, so I guess that's choosing homosexual BEHAVIOR!.

But otherwise, no!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Good Question!. I believe that a person can be born homosexual but also a person can choose!. I also know of people changing sexual preferences!. It is also a hard question but if you look at it this way, you always have a choice even if someone is holding a gun to your head you still have a choice!. also every action has an equal and opposite reaction!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You don't choose to be homosexual or heterosexual!.!.!.You're just kind of born that way!. Im sure if it was a sexual orientation was a choice, some homosexual people would choose to be heterosexual because of obvious reasons I dont want to mention!.

Only the act of engaging in a sexual act is a choice for anybody (unless you are getting raped)Www@QuestionHome@Com

No!. I am now convinced after witnessing severely LD children attracted to members of the opposite sex!. These particular children had virtually no communicative abilities, and probably have very little understanding of sexual orientation, yet somehow "know" what they like!. I can very easily see it the other way!. My verdict is that if someone comes into the world practically unable to communicate, yet very clearly displays attraction to a certain sex (no matter if it's the same or opposite)- that proves that it is innate!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think in most instances it is not a choice, but I don't necessarily think its genetic either!. I feel that a lot of it has to do with upbringing and the society the person lives in!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

NO!?! Does one choose to be different!? Yes!?!@ Does one choose an addiction!? NO!?! Is it a sin!? NO!?! Homosexuality is not a choice!!! We are born with what we are!?! Some say we are born with sin!?! I don't believe that!?! Some say our baptism removes the sins we are born with!? Does it!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

of course its not!. the life style on the other hand is!. some people jump on the rainbow power ship and act in ways that embarrass the entire gay community, while others act just like everyone except they like the same sex!. thats where the choice comes into play!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

homosexuality is never a choice!.
homosexual ACTS on the other hand most definitely are!. unless there's a gun to your head no one's forcing you to stick your dick in another man's ******!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not at all!.!.Why would many people choose homesexuality if most of heterosexuals consider it a disgusting sinful behavior !
