APA has revised their earlier stance on the so-called "Gay Gene"
Why am I not surprised on reading this. People act the way they do because they CHOOSE to

Who would choose to be the subject of ridicule, discrimination, hate and violence?
Many gays stay closeted out of fear. Why woouldn't they simply choose to be straight?
Psychiatry is not what you'd call an "exact science". They're constantly revising what they know and, more importantly, what they think they know.
Besides, look at the website you cited.
Hardly an unbiased source, really.
Unless all gays are masochist too, their must be something hardwired in them from the get go. I don't think one just wakes up one morning and chooses to find the same sex attractive in a sexual way.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but homosexuals are born that way.

There are a lot of variables that figure in here. I have no doubt in my mind that going gay for the vast majority of the people is purely based upon preference. And, the more acceptance homosexuality gains, the more people we will see choose this lifestyle as time goes on. The downside to this is that liberal educators who push this sexually perverted, politically correct, aim of theirs as an acceptable lifestyle will, without question, gain new converts since they control the educational environment of America's children. Couple this with like educated progressives and their lemmings who control the media, politicians, etc., and one can better understand how communist ideas have corrupted our way of life.
People are born retarded all the time.Why can`t they be born gay?
That's a good point, however, to suggest that being a homosexual is akin to being retarded is rejected by the politically correct anti-Americans, who promote sexual perversion as one of their marxist activities.
I disagree.

By that logic, who would CHOOSE to be a pedophile ? The risks are FAR WORSE than being a homosexual.

And I agree. WHY would ANYONE choose a "lifestyle" that brings hate and bigotry down on them? Ask any gay person, and they will probably tell you tht high school was a living hell for them, espicially if they came from a rural area.

I agree with SP.
I don't have a gay family member, but we were close with a family who had a gay son. When I was a kid I knew he was different (myself and the other son played Army, this kid played with dolls).
He came out as a soon to be freshman in college, but it was no shocker.
And considering the source....geez. Big surprise.

can you READ?
The esteemed Col. Plink is saying that homosexuality is NOT a CHOICE, but a pre-programmed behavior.
BTW, I think pedophiles should be shot, no matter HOW they aquired their perversion.
The problem is that the morals of this country has sunken so low that people are accepting a sick perversion as being normal.
I agree 100%. The media is the worst offender of this.
And yes, homosexuals are retarded by definition.
In the 60's & 70's teachers were coming out as gay or bisexual regularly like clock work. It is hip to be bisexual in 2009 just ask more than
one or two high school girls. The feminizing of males in a liberaly
educated society has contributed to an increase and acceptability among
their piers. It doesn't happen overnight, but it is an easier choice
today than ever. The gay boom will continue.
I'm out of here. This will be deleted soon, anyway.
Since I believe that at least SOME gays are born that way. I find it difficult to accept that a just God would allow the creation of people who are damned from the get-go.
But having known a gay person since childhood, I know that this person is not gay by choice. He was born that way.
He has a straight brother. Was raised in a neighborhood w/straight boys. And indeed tried to fit in. But this boy was a girl inside, and that's all there is to it.
No
it is man that is imperfect
we have free will.
Being gay is no more a choice than being born retarded,deaf,blind or with an extra toe. It`s not a liberal agenda.If it was,how do you explain republican Larry Craig`s airport restroom incident? And there`s also republican Mark Foley who resigned in disgrace for soliciting male interns. Did they fall for the liberal agenda?
No... Liberals didn't invent it. They just put it on a pedestal.
There are two types of gay, "real gay," and "cool gay." My oldest friend, who I have known since we were 4 years old, was "real gay." She was always gay, only as children growing up in the late 60's early 70's, we didn't have the word for it, we knew she was just "different", we called her a "tomboy" and left it at that.
Then there are "cool gay" girls. This is acting gay/bisexual purely for self-exploitation, in the name of celebrating their sexuality. Please. You aren't sexually liberated, if anything, you are only reinforcing the same tired, male stereotypes of "woman as sex object purely for the satifaction of men" that the first wave of feminism revolted against. I call them "female chauvanist pigs."
So, here's the deal. You guys stop wanting to see some "woman on woman" action, then you can legitimately express your abhorration at homosexuality.
I disagree.

I also disagree.
Many gays report feeling "different" from an early age, before puberty. You've probably gone to gradeschool with some of them. Eveyone knew they were gay before they themselves figured it out. Many have even tried to stifle the feelings and attempted to live out a heterosexual lifestyle. Some eventually give in to who they feel they really are.
I don't condone the behavior. I do not think homosexuality is normal. I suspect most homosexuality is caused by a defect in brain chemistry, structure, etc. It might not be a genetic defect, but some kind of biological defect.
I don't know about being gay, but I can say that I never sat there consciously thinking "ok, I will like girls, girls are hot, like girls"...it just happened one day when I reached the appropriate age...
never thought about guys, consciously or otherwise

In college, back many moons ago the DSM listed homosexuality as a mental disorder and it was treated as such.
