Do you think sexuality is a choice?
Then if you do, could you tell me about the time you chose to be straight?

No and anyone that thinks its a choice is stupid

It is both genetically linked, and a choice. I don't remember any study outright proving that it was 100% genetics based.

2 RepliesI dont think being attracted to someone is a choice. But acting on that attraction IS a choice.

8 Repliesit is a choice. In before people try to get me to explain my beliefs not reaizing I don't care about them enough to explain. They then proceed to call me ignorant for stating baseless facts.
-
It pretty clearly isn't.
-
Sexuality is not a choice it's on the same level of Asperger's as a retardation and the fact that it's not a choice only proves my point further.
-
You're born a certain way, but you can choose whether or not you want to embrace it.

9 RepliesLet's pretend that orientation is a choice. Why would someone choose to have fewer rights and be treated like a second class citizen?

partially genes, partially your environment and what/who you grew up with.

Last time I checked, I didn't get a choice in being attracted to both men and women.

1 ReplyI don't know much, if anything, about Biology but I've heard that every baby is first female before it turns male during its development. Couldn't that have some effect as to a person's sexual orientation?

I knew I'd regret opening this thread.

Started a new topic: Does it even matter if it's a choice or not?(2 Replies))

Can you tell me the time you chose to write? Or did your socialisation in your country create that for you?

Edited by MurcSpyder: 2/24/2013 8:41:53 PMI'd say it's as much a choice as choosing the nationality, gender, and ethnicity you are.

9 RepliesI'll probably get muted for this, but hear me out. As a believer in evolution, I think that homosexuality is a retardation. Of course not a severe mental one, but one nonetheless. Calling it that definitely has a terrible stigma attached to it, but if you are logical and reasoning, you would understand why. Animals are not supposed to be homosexual, they can't reproduce that way, and having an animal with that sexuality hinders them useless in the animal kingdom. I do not think it's a choice at all, but if that's the case then my point is proven. All that being said, I am not against gay rights, I do not hate gay people, that is just my brutally honest opinion. My one gay friend would probably disown me if he ever heard me say this, but it's true.

Sexuality isn't a choice just in the same way that your natural hair color isn't a choice.
-
No, I don't think people choose who they can get attracted to.
-
I'm sure nature and nurture are both attributing factors.
-
Of course not.

Hmm, depends on the person. Some people are able to go well with both genders. However, some religious zealots that might be attracted to the same gender go as far to refuse that fact, so I am not sure how much of a choice sexuality really is, but I understand that if someone is forced (by themselves or externally) then they will go with it, but they won't enjoy it.
