1st thing... Don't say you're born that way unless you talk about genetics etc.
Why do people turn gay? Some people say they can't help not being attracted to the opposite and liking the same sex, however, there must be some sort of explanation.
Psychological? Biological? I don't know, does anyone know?

People mamy only "come out" when they're in their teens or whatever, but what do you know about relationships until you've had one, what do you know about who you're attracted to until you've had that attraction?
Ever since i can remember there has been very little to no attraction to girls and I dont think you turn gay (unless you straight and really love cher, I mean talk about minorities...)
I mean its not easy being gay, well when you first come out gets better. Why would someone choose to be so different and put a spotlight on yourself when your so young and prone to being bullied. Look how many young gay teenagers kill themselves its riduclous that it happens but it shows just how much its not a choice and isnt as simple as "turning".
I think being gay is something straight people dont understand, i mean the whole process of being gay and coming out and all that not the actual idea of it. And to be honest i wont ever understand why people are straight bar to have a baby but after that it bewilders me.
I know a few men who are 100% straight in their genes, but 110% gay when they take them off.
In your quest for knowledge on such a worldly subject are you specifically looking for opinions from biologists and psychiatrists? Or just random people on the internet?
Biologists and psychiatrists haven't really figured it out yet. We're probably a safer bet.
sure because single women and lesbians raise gay sons, always. :rolleyes:
That's just an example but I imagine many homosexuals either think that by trying sex with a girl they'll get over what they think is some short term homosexual feeling.
But seriously why are we not allowed to say we are born that way when straight people are!
It is this strangely way of looking at things that leads to confusing. If you constantly look at being gay as totally different to being straight then you will have problems understanding. However if you take being straight and gay as nothing more than sexualities, they are exactly the same, just different flavours.
People question gayness but never straightness - Why?
Are gays born that way or chose it for a laugh? but it's never asked: Are straights born that way or chose it for a laugh?
Anti-gay people always seem to want it all ways saying that people are born straight (a sexuality) but gay people are not born that way but instead choose to be that way. They can then persecute them as it is their fault and they can change back if they don't like it. :rolleyes:
So I do find it strainge in 2010 that some still see being gay as something so different from being straight when they are both sexualities and nothing more. What applies to one also applies to the other.
This!
I don't really remember having an "I'm gay" moment, that's just the way i always remember it being.
It's not as simple as that. It doesn't mean boys who lack a paternal presence become gay as a consequence. The theory is a bit more complicated than that.
please enlighten us with your theory.
It's not my theory. It's a theory which i thought was quite well known. I am sure there are good articles if you google around.
oh so it's 'the internets' theory. Must be true then. :yawn:
If that is the case, I shall forge ahead and furnish the OP with enlightenment.
Why are 10% of the population left handed?
I think this is the case with sexual orientation, at some point the fetus gets confused by something and the gayness happens.
