I used to be gay but then I got electro-shock treatment and now I prefer having sex with women.....and occasionally light sockets...

I think one can find anything beautiful. Whether be it in nature, opposite sex or the same sex. The attraction mental, physical and/or emotional, should not be characterized as homosexual even if its with the same sex. Body builders look at other body builders and admire certain parts of their body. There is nothing 'homesexual' about this. Really, you can't really choose what you find beautiful. Have you ever saw a piece of dog dookie and forced yourself to say its beautiful? I've tried and it didn't work for me. Have you ever saw a pleasant scenic view that just took your breath away? You didn't choose for it the be beautiful, to you it just is.

However, homosexuality is defined by a romantic and sexual attraction to the same sex, meaning you want to have sexual intercourse, even if not right away. That is one, not the only, means in a romantic and sexual relationship. Choosing who to have sex with is a choice, unless raped. One can argue again about feelings and such, but in a consensual act of intercourse, both parties have to agree on it, which is a choice.

Personally, I currently have a girlfriend and have had many. But also I have had sexual relations with guys as well with girls. I did not however find anything beautiful with the guys I had sexual relations with, it was something I was curious about. Just one day I started to think about guys, it wasn't something I tried right away, but I choose to think about it a lot. The more my mind dwelled on these thoughts til finally I chose to act upon my feelings. No one forced me to, I was in control of my body the whole time. It was my choice. I also think that whatever we dwell our minds with, may eventually come to action.( I know there is some psychology mumbo jumbo on this related topic but will not go into it.) I m not here to say this is the way everyone is, of course not. I understand we are all different, and we all grow up differently. I am not here to say what is right or what is wrong. I just think based on my own experience that homosexuality is a choice.

I am gay. I live in a very, very homophobic country. My whole family thinks homosexuality is a major sin, so do most people, and gay men are often looked down upon and families either disown gay men/women, try to "cure" them or if the family is very extreme, murder them. Why would I choose to be gay in such a community? I have tortured myself for years because of this. I wanted to become straight so bad- I used to be religious and traditional, and being gay was something I did not want, I prayed very hard for it to go away. If it is a choice, why did I not just opt out of it? It is not a choice by any means. Being straight is not choice, being bi is not a choice either- Those who say it is, they should read a book about Human Sexual Physiology. Sexual Brain Pattern is determined in the womb.

Homosexuality is a learned behavior just like using drugs is a learned behavior. People are curious and try it and become hooked into the lifestyle. Everybody at some time in their life is tempted to try gay sex. This is how people become trapped in the gay lifestyle. Only through Jesus can anyone break free of the addiction of this life style.

I think the people who swear it is a choice do that cause they need to make a choice. In other words they have feelings for the same sex & fight to supress this.

I have never ever falling in love or lust with a women (I am a women) but I sure have a desire for men & I never set out to be this way it is just natural for me.

People tend to have a hard time understanding something they, themselves, have not gone through. And since roughly 90% of the population is straight, they will not understand completely. If they know gay people they might be able to empathize, but they will not understand.

It's not a choice. There have been countless studies over the years that clearly demonstrate physiological differences between gay and straight people.

Yeah... I woke up clutching my hot little wife again this morning and thanked 'god' it wasn't the bloke with the beard next door... I'm sure I wouldn't like a beard rubbing on my face... yuk...

Oh... I sure did make the right choice... I just don't recall ever making it.

And no one else does either... the lying bastards.

Why would anyone choose to be vilified, beat up and murdered?

People who say such things must be mentally challenged or living a lie or both.

Any relationship you enter for any reason is a choice. You may be attracted to anyone, but that does not mean the action of acting on it is any less of a choice.

Edit: "Ah! That classic fall back!

I'm talking about homosexuality (the mental, physical, and emotional attraction to members of the same sex). I'm NOT talking about sex in any way, shape, or form."

Horse Hockey! Of course you are. If you are celibate regardless of attraction, there is no societal problem or need to discuss this now, is there?

Homosexuality isn't who you have sex with, it's which gender you are attracted to.

for example: If i have sex with another man, i would not be gay. But if i were attracted to other men, then i'd be gay. It's not rocket science.

I am naturally attracted to women, and therefor heterosexual, but me being a virgin doesn't make me asexual.

sexuality has nothing to do with sexual actions, it depends on sexual attraction. Yes, you can choose who you have sex with, but you can't choose who you are attracted to.

Well I guess since I never woke up and say "geee, today I must decide if I like women or men, WHAT SHOULD I DO??" so I believe homosexuality is not a choice, anyway who would like to choose something that carries on many social problems.
