Im not still gay, I have never been gay yet.

And if you are positively attracted to females then most likely you never will be. You don't have a choice in the matter as far as baseline attraction. Neither does a gay, lesbian bisexual or transsexual person.
As I cited earlier:
Northern Dominus wrote:

....and you have citations regarding studies to back that up? Because I have a few saying you're very wrong.

http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc ... logy/4683/

And while there is no discernible concrete reason as to why one person is hetero, and another is gay, but ethical research is shedding new light on the subject.

Any questions?

The notion of "Choice" is completely bunk and false.

I admit I'm ignorant of this topic, but "who you date" has no relationship to sexuality. Dating is an entirely different issue.

There's a little incest, Noah's daughters and Lot's, I think, but not a lot. A good many people do get murdered, though.

It is an idea that many seem to have, particularly on NS, but also in the news.
I am personally straight, but I never made a concious decision to be. As such I think that the idea that people choose is a ridiculous one.
So, my question is, why do people think it is a choice, and, if you think people choose to be gay, when did you choose to be straight?


Heterosexuality is the natural state; the desire to reproduce appears almost universally across nature.

Since they're not named one can only assume then that Cain and Abel had to reproduce with the only woman around.

I was going to say that there's some implied incest, yes. But then all of a sudden, in the time of Cain and Abel, there suddenly are bunches of people, if I remember aright.

Except in a certain thread you've clearly identified yourself as a "christian" so it stands to reason that's where your base of knowledge comes from until proven otherwise.

Once again, listed several sources that debunk your "Choice" theory:

http://www.religioustolerance.org/hom_caus.htm
http://www.ama-assn.org/ama/pub/about-a ... ation.page
http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc ... logy/4683/

You are wrong.

There were people created by other gods, such as Lilith. For crying out loud, there was a enough people to make a city in the land of Nod, where Cain got sent to for killing Abel.

I checked, and you've stated what Leviticus condemns.
viewtopic.php?f=20&t=173280&p=8909570#p8909570
Leviticus is a chapter in the bible that says that homosexuality is wrong.

Whether or not you were in support of this doesn't mean shit. I was wrong that you cite it often, but you have cited the bible.

So... you're also implying that using the bible to justify the subjugation and discrimination of LGBT people is pretty hypocritical considering the other bad stuff in the bible that doesn't get the same airtime?
