This is an interesting topic to pop up in General Chit Chat.

Well speaking from the other side of the pool, namely, bisexuality, I can say it isn't a choice, and I should say I don't take offense to people claiming it to be a choice, however, when they compare it to something as lowly as trend setting and cutting of the arms, I do take offense, much of it. I didn't expect to see something so outright ignorant like that outside of, oh, the Ukraine. Sheesh? I'm going to go with Sheesh, Tom.

I think it's largely shaped by a person's experiences, and I don't think it can be changed, I think people can lie to themselves long enough for the dream of normality, but eventually they come around, which is the case with older men who have been married for possibly decades suddenly "turning" gay, in my opinion.

I feel that people are "Gay" to a certain extent, I don't mean being attracted to the same sex of course, I mean something along the lines of finding features about the same sex themselves attractive, to even somewhat appealing in a non-sexual way. Though I also believe some people are indeed bound to be "gay" from birth, I know of a few people who fall into that category, and have shown near-stereotypical signs of it from a very young age.

I suppose, for most anyhow, it depends largely on their environment and family, their upbringing, but I disagree that this is the only source of homosexuality.
