In today's day and age, that's not true. I was reading a story recently about a lesbian mother who is mothering a baby via IVF with sperm from a gay friend. Anywho, that's off topic.

I, personally, am not sure. I have an ex-friend who is openly gay (he's my ex-friend because we grew apart moving on to secondary school up to the point where I began to hate him, not because he's gay) and throughout primary school he was always different. As was I, but that's because I turned out to be a "geek", heh.

But I think he was always different to get attention. I mean, he was "sleeping" with girls when we were 13. And smoking weed. And drinking. Now that everyone our age is doing that (except smoking weed), he's had to move on to something else. So he's gay.

So whether he was born genetically programmed (god, I have been watching too much BSG recently) to be different and this lead to him being gay because of the friends he kept because the so-called normal people wouldn't muck about him, I don't know.

I did and do that too. Except the weed thing, I stopped (for now ). Am I gay now? Maybe that was his way of life. He was and is the person he wanted to be .

Its probably a nurture thing, with the surrounding people are brought up in, not things like being forced to gay porn every day, but very suttle things.

You can tell, you type in fuckwit and that was in pure English, no spelling mistakes.

I really think it is up to the person to choose to be gay or not, no one can be born gay, i think thats impossible. plus i know someone who was straigt and now they are gay..

I type in fuckwit. This is just my last peice of coursework.

I got a question for you. When I look at guys (I'm not gay!!) and think 'wow he's cute' just because I want to think like my GF. Just to see what could please her or what not (you got me), am I gay then?? Or sometimes I look at guys to see who's nicer guys or gals. And ( I don't want to sound arrogant) in my country the guys are the sexeh . Anyways, sometimes I have my fancies with guys ... Anyways. If you had been 'verarscht' (translate yourself) by girls that many times like me then you would think other... And stuff... WTF @ that thread? YTF am I replying????

In my opinion, that's different.
I tend to think that being a homosexual means one wants to be involved in some kind of sexual activity with a same-sex, for example, kissing. (Yes, I categorize kissing is a sexual activity).

I admittedly see other males to improve my appearance, to learn what I can use to make me feel more comfortable in front of girls.

saralk's statement is true. There's no such thing as a gay gene.
That's what scientists agree on, and I agree on saralk's post.

so true.


Anyway, i think that you are influenced by your surroundings. You can't have a gay gene surely.

Its got nothing to do with genes or genetics...unless nature intended us not to replicate and to die out as a species.

It is a persons choice; and while it may be influenced by childhood and enviroment, its still his choice.

2.Genes- It is true that the cromozones within the gene structure can often alter the behaviour and feelings of the child. Although this is often only a small factor of turning out to be a homosexual.

I think being homo or hetero depends on the environment they were born and grew in.

Through a vast range of numerous different factors, a person can end up living a life of which he/she prefers to be attracted and have relationships which people of the same sex. These factors can be down to ...

1. The upbringing- If a child has homophobic parents then the child would find it hard and often resist any feelings he/she may have to a person of the opposite sex. If the childs parents has gay friends and is openly positive towards any homosexual people. The child would find it easier to handle any homormones that would produce homosexual feelings.

2.Genes- It is true that the cromozones within the gene structure can often alter the behaviour and feelings of the child. Although this is often only a small factor of turning out to be a homosexual.

3.Experiences- *Most people* throughough their lives will have had some homosexual thought or experience, it is just how you react to these feelings or experiences that will ultimately result in the hetro/homo sexuality of the person. If a person completely ignores the feelings they may be having towards a person of the same sex, this can just pass by but if somone takes action on these thoughts and say has a homosexual encounter.. And enjoys it.. This can be gay enforcement to their hormones.

I believe no person can be born gay, people can be born with more homosexual orianted hormones within their body, but through different situations throughout their life, this would ultimately determin whether or not the person would turn out to be gay.

Well that is basically what i think.

P.S i am not gay.
P.P.S i have nothing against gays.
