Homosexuality a trend?

[Cadaver breadsticks]

And I would say you're fucking wrong.

It's very close-minded to say it is just either purely choice or genetics. It's a combination of many things.

as far as i am aware, all evidence shows that one doesn't have a choice in their sexuality.

It has nothing to do with choice, for a damn fact.

[Ifreann]

Not particularly.

You can't fool us, we know you're only pretending to be gay so people will think you're cool.

[Christian Democrats]

So genetics and social expectations don't affect peoples lives.
Ok then, that sounds right.

Choice isn't part of it, and I don't think society has any bearing on sexuality either.

Sexuality has everything to do with choice.

Are you going to or not going to act on your desires?

Those desires are shaped in part by nature and in part by nurture.

[Bluvil]

No more than heterosexuality, bisexuality, pansexuality and asexuality are trends.

[Blasveck]

Im pretty sure that me being bisexual is not a trend.

Why would I choose to be discriminated against?
Why would I join a trend in which others judge me for being who I am?

Such is illogical.

[Genivaria]

Hey NSG! After doing to some observation I have come to the conclusion that homosexuality is somewhat of a trend. Now before you start calling me all types of assholes,please,here me out on this!

It's fair to say that in the "olden" days,homosexuality was well,not acceptable among family. It's also fair to say that since the beginning of the new millennium that homosexuality has somewhat skyrocketed among teens. Now let's all admit that at one point in time we all went through a phase of some sort. Weather it be, being goth or something of that nature, then we sort of grew out of it.

And it's fair to say in the OLDEN olden days that homosexuality was just fine with Romans and Greeks.
As long as you were on top as no True Roman is ever submissive to anyone.

HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT A TREND. It is NOT a choice. It is NOT a phase. It is NOT a fad.
For fuck's sake

I would say it's a combination of choice, social influences, and genetics.

You would be wrong.

[Conservative Idealism]

Well, it is trending, and the gay rights movement has gained fad-like attention in recent times. That doesn't change that it's been around for awhile - my opinion that it is sexual perversion overhyped by the liberal media takes a back seat to the moral responsibility not to treat it as something transient nor discriminate against those who are homosexual.

That said, I am annoyed with the people who endorse gay rights as they would a fad. They can be pretty annoying at times because they don't understand the moral gravity of the issue and mistake it for what's "in".

Show me a source then. Back up that claim.

Sexuality =/= actions.

Sexuality:

1. state of being sexual: the state of being sexual
2. involvement in sexual activity: involvement or interest in sexual activity
3. sexual appeal: sexual appeal or potency

The last part is debatable.

Read "As Nature Made Him: The Boy Who Was Raised as a Girl"

Botched circumcision so they tried to raise the boy as a girl and found nature was a problem as "she" had all the tendencies of a boy.......

You don't get to decide what other people do with their lives or who they fall in love with so sit down.

[Ifreann]

...my opinion that it is sexual perversion...

Is wrong and disgusting.

[Salandriagado]

Well, yes. They suppressed/hid their feelings until they felt safe from being persecuted because of them. This is not unexpected.

I believe some were born that way,but some make the choice,to get attention.

You are wrong.

I believe you're trying to talk about sexual orientation.

Which, as far as I can tell, and the science can tell, is not a choice.

Why would people choose to be discriminate against?

http://www.apa.org/helpcenter/sexual-orientation.aspx

What causes a person to have a particular sexual orientation?
There is no consensus among scientists about the exact reasons that an individual develops a heterosexual, bisexual, gay, or lesbian orientation. Although much research has examined the possible genetic, hormonal, developmental, social, and cultural influences on sexual orientation, no findings have emerged that permit scientists to conclude that sexual orientation is determined by any particular factor or factors. Many think that nature and nurture both play complex roles; most people experience little or no sense of choice about their sexual orientation.

What we are talking about here is sexuality in terms of attraction to specific genders and sexes and whether or not that is a fucking choice.
Please don't choke on that dictionary, it would be unfortunate, for you at least.

Then it's a good thing there's plenty of legitimate support from people who happen to think people have a right to be treated with as much respect, and have the same rights as other people. Huzzah.

Are you a dictionary?

[The Grey Wolf]

I think that for many years, homosexuals suppressed their desire to avoid being harassed by the public and possibly disowned by their family. Now that homosexuality is becoming more and more accepted, homosexuals don't have to go about suppressing it.
