There is no gene... There is no disease...
Yet it is a biological accident...
What? Like someone trips over the ottamon, gets up and he's gay due to physical injury. Do you pay attention to the things that you type?

Is HETEROSEXUALITY a choice?

Probably a bit of both. Without some genetic predisposition no amount of nuture will do it.

There is nothing paradoxical about genetic predisposition to homosexuality.

Hmm, Orangutans, eh? What percentage of DNA do we share with Orangutans? 95% or upwards I would guess.

Here is a purely scientific(not religious) explanation why being gay is a choice. And I will not even get into the psychology of how a persons environment and experience affect their sexuality. It is very simple. Human sexual organs have one purpose. They are very specialized and only perform one function. Procreation! There has to be a male and female sexual organ to procreate. That is what they are there for. There is also only one purpose for the organs on the backside of the body. And that does not involve anything entering them. Human physiology tells us everything we need to know about human sexuality. It is very simple, very obvious and indisputable.

There is nothing unnatural about members of the same sex having relationships that are not based on sex. Men can relate to men and women can relate to women. It is natural for people of the same sex to comfort each other, build bonds with each other, relate to each other emotionally and have long term relationships with each other. I have Friends of both sexes. I am close to members of both sexes. However, I only participate in sexual activity with a member of the opposite sex. My wife. I don't find men physically appealing to me in a sexual way. I admire many men because of their physical attributes, because I would like to have a physique like that myself. But I do not find them appealing in a sexual manner. Women are very supportive of each other and are can be very emotionally attached to another women in ways that men can't be. But they do not naturally appeal sexually to each other. The laws of physics dictate that there is no natural way a women can engage in sexual congress with another women. They have the same sexual organs. They do not have the male organs that are required for sexual intercourse.

So it is very easy to understand how homosexuality is entirely by choice. The natural, indisputable laws of science prove this beyond a shadow of a doubt.

That does not prove homosexuality to be a choice in the slightest, it simply proves that homosexuals cannot procreate together.

Although I certainly think there is a biological basis (allowing for environmental influences, as well), the bigger issue for me is this: WHO CARES? I can't think of a single reason why it's any of my concern who someone I don't even know has sex with (as long as it's consensual). So why should I even concern myself about it?

My apologies to the Moderator's and other forum member's for the rhetorical vulgarities.

Yeah, same here.
What I find interesting is that the people who are really so fearful of gays are the ones who want to LIMIT their kids' options. That's what it comes down to. They think that tolerance of gays will somehow make their kids choose to be gay.
What it really comes down to is the same argument they have for all of their morality enforcements. They think that, despite having a moral philosophy that they believe is superior, by not enforcing every strict part of the legal code people will largely choose other codes. As if any straight person would decide to become gay simply because it's tolerated (I can tell you I've never been tempted despite everyone I care about not giving a %$&*).
It always amazes me that the same people have an ideological devotion to the free market most of the time... So in business it's okay to let people do whatever they want... but not in personal life?!
I don't know. Social conservatives strike me as the least thoughtful and most paranoid of all ideologues in general. I suppose that's what happens when every decision you make is based on a hope/fear that the world is ending at every given snapshot in history.

on a topic where "judging" is the entire issue.

The first sentence of my post states that my only input is purely scientific. I am not judging peoples sexual choices, I am merely stating facts. This particular post asks the question is it a choice or not. I completely stayed within the context of the topic. Those who criticized my statements were the ones judging and deviating from the topic. It seems to me that they are the close minded and I wonder if they even read what I wrote.

I do not engage in debate about whether homosexuality is wrong or if it is my business. I don't have a problem with someone being gay. My personal opinions about it are meaningless. I have friends who are gay and I do not judge anyone. So please keep your snide comments about what you think I think to yourself. And read what people write before you pop off about it and make yourself look like a fool. You are the ideolog here, not me.

There are other debatable subjects that relate to sexuality that I would love to engage in. But, as I did with this topic, I will keep my comments strictly to the topic of the post. Please do so yourselves and don't make me out to be something that I am not.
