RE: Homosexuality
I believe it to be an unconscious choice for a person to be gay. Just like every thing in life, it's your choice whether you like it or not, this works the same way. It's a choice that you do not realize you are making, but you make anyway. If this is true, it would make sense to say that certain people adapt to everything, and are therefore bisexual. If it is a person's choice, then it is perfectly normal for it to happen.

Apparently, 10% of the human population is gay or bisexual (gay can be for males and females btw.).

Turns out that the 10% fact is false, according to wikipedia. See here.

Unfortunately, in modern society, being gay or bisexual isn't quite accepted yet. A discussion like this could very well lead to arguments of whether it is O.K to talk about this or not.

I think it depends on your surroundings and how a person wants to be, its all up to the person, genes have nuthin to do with it.

RE: Homosexuality
I think it is a subconscious thought that is developed after birth. Someone will know if they are gay, once they are introduced to it's nature. Can someone be gay if they dont know what being gay is? Not that I know what i'm talking about, just a thought. Iy shouldnt matter anyways, equality shouldnt involve people being categorized.

Case closed everyone. I think Dazmatic here just proved that you aren't born gay.

(Corrected quote to what I assume you meant)

That doesn't make sense, because there's no way to prove it. If nobody* knows you're gay, then you're probably not gay. O_o

* yourself included

Oscar Wilde was gay, and he had a wife.

quote:
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.
I didn't mean to imply I thought there was a gay gene. All I meant was that if there was one (it'd be a congenital... I don't think I'm allowed to call it a defect because it's probably going to be seen as offensive, but that's what it's called) then it could still be passed on in today's day and age.

If you'd read the rest of my post then you'd see that I related a real life story to see how it's mainly circumstance that affects a person's sexuality.

I suppose the thing that would prove it would be to find two monozygotic twins, and see if one is gay and one isn't.
