Description
"Sexuality is a choice? Okay... So when did you decide to be straight?"Most scientists today agree that sexual orientation is the result of a combination of biological, hormonal, emotional, and environmental factors - meaning that there are many factors that contribute to a person's sexual orientation. Most agree that sexual orientation is not a choice, and it cannot be changed.
Still, some people claim that sexuality is a choice, and that homosexuals and bisexuals are simply choosing to sexually deviate from the 'norm' of heterosexuality.
Why would people choose to be homosexual if they knew that their parents and family would disown them if they knew? This point by ~MinZki !
If sexuality is a choice, then when did you choose to become straight? If sexuality is a choice, why don't you choose to be gay? If it's so simple to change what sex you are sexually attracted to, flip the switch for a day and choose not to be attracted to members of the opposite sex. Only become aroused by members of the same sex. Seriously, do it! I'd like to know how that works out for you.Point is, sexuality is not a choice, no more than our skin color is a choice, or our natural hair color. It's just a part of who we are, and people who claim they can change are just fooling themselves. That's all I've got to say for now on this topic.

You know what's funny? I told a bunch of my Baptist classmates in college that homosexuality was not a choice, but they laughed at me like I said something stupid. Β If only they knew some basic psychology.

I once heard that a renowned lesbian actually became straight 
So yeah, I believe its a choice. I can't scan my 5-year old cousin to see if she's gay or straight. Why do i believe it? Because being gay is a lifestyle and should not be compared to race. If a married man came choose to be gay, then i can choose to be straight

Pretty sure 1 is a lie.
As for 2, am pretty sure the guy was bisexual.
And no, sexuality isn't a lifestyle, you are born with it.Β

No no, it's true. I saw with my own eyes. Saw many articles about it even.
2nd, he was full on gay, not go.
3rd, it is a lifestyle. My mom knows a guy who actually turned gay. She goes to work all the time with the guy. Knows him for years. I'll believe her more than you pal.
π: 0 β©: 2
gay is not a lifestyle you dumbass. stop misusing the word lifestyle because you clearly have no idea what you're on about.
you don't go the gay supermarket, go and buy a gay toothbrush, brush your teeth in a gay way with your new toothbrush, and tuck yourself into a gay bed.
it's the exact same as a straight persons lifestyle, the only difference is our partner happens to be the same sex.
it's not a choice, you don't choose to fall in love with someone; it just happens, and i'm sorry but those conversion stories about gay to straight are bullshit.Β sexuality is fluid; it can change overtime. although you don't change it yourself. saying that it's a choice is as stupid as saying you chose how tall you are, or the colour of your eyes, etc.

1) it is. a person's interest in who they decide to go poke in the butt is only one part of them that can change. a person's personality and race are always the major part of them. for example, if i bleach my skin white, i'm still african-american no matter how much i deny it.
2) I've been with my mom going over 20 years. I'll believe her more than you buddy and i don't believe she would ever lie to me. She has decades of experience with this, more than some teenager on the internet
3) don't pull that crap on me. i even know about a few lgbt people who turned straight. homosexuality has always and will be a lifestyle. don't pull this crap that 'oh, homosexuality is a vital part of someone'. no its not. its one little insignificant part of somebody and making that seem like a big deal makes the lgbt community look like one big joke
4) i had this conversation months ago. why are you bringing it up now is beyond me pal
π: 0 β©: 1
1) still don't get what you mean, bleaching your skin isn't a lifestyle either lmao, nor is being a specific race. a lifestyle is the way you live like whether you live an athletic, unhealthy, modern, or lazy lifestyle. there are certain factors that determine a lifestyle, being gay isn't one of them.
2) your mother's personal experience with a gay person doesn't apply to all gay people. as I said before, sexuality is fluid. it's impossible to deliberately change your sexuality; it's completely out of your control. you don't just wake up one morning and decide you want to become straight, having your sexuality change is dependent on environmental/biological factors. i'm not doubting whether he went from gay to straight, i'm doubting the fact that you seem to believe it was a choice. preferences change, maybe he liked men back then but he's seen another side and likes women now. and just because you're mother knows a gay guy, or used to know a gay guy shall I say, doesn't give her "decades of experience" as you put it.
3) refer back to point #1 and #2 & i never said your sexuality is a significant part of somebody; infact i'm doing the complete opposite. you're just contradicting yourself, one minute your saying it's an insignificant part of somebody next your saying it's a whole lifestyle itself. and the only joke here is your pathetic attempt at justifying oppressive acts on gay people because "oh but they chose to be that way!! i know i'm right because i knew people who changed!!". that leads onto another topic, if being gay is a choice, why would you chose to be gay if you live in a homophobic and ignorant household/country?
4) because i've just come across this comment? obviously you're still defending yourself and believing you're right, so my point still stands.
π: 0 β©: 1
1) did i say that? no, i did not. you're twisting my words around. a person's culture, personality, and morals define them more than their sexuality
2) i do think its a choice. i heard a story of a married man. he had a loving wife and 2 children. one day, he felt like he was held back by his wife and children. he said he was gay and left them. a grown man, mind you. that's proof its a choice
3) who said i supported oppressing gay people. get your facts straight :^) I have gay friends and family. I have an awesome bi friend here on DeviantArt who I consider amazing at doing digital art. Heck, he knows I'm Christian and how I feel about homosexuality but as he said, 'if you were a homophobe, i wouldn't be speaking with you now'. He knows I'm not a homophobe and if i was, why am i still speaking with him now for over a year if he knows my stance on homosexuality.
And another thing. My cousin died 4 years ago from AIDS because he was gay. I never knew until after he passed but that's because I was too young to understand that at first. I loved him and all but I can not support his lifestyle...the same lifestyle that took his life.Β
4) And what point are you making? I moved on from this topic and you're bringing this up again just to start shit. That's not me defending myself. That's being logical little girl.
The point is. Yeah, I dislike homosexuality. What are you going to do about it? That's right. Nothing. You and any other LGBT person can't do shit against me for speaking my beliefs... but I'm not a homophobe. I have friends here on DA and possibly some family members who might be gay or bi. I will risk myself to help them if something goes wrong but I cannot, and will not support their gay lifestyle. AT ALL. End of discussion.

1) once again, you're contradicting yourself. you say gay is a lifestyle, but then you say a person's culture, personality and morals defines them more than their sexuality? surely the latter makes up their lifestyle, not who they're attracted to.
2) no, that's not choice, you're misinterpreting the situation. If he's feeling held back by his family and said he's gay, then surely at some point during their marriage he felt he wasn't satisfied with the relationship and he started becoming attracted to men.
3) and i'm not entirely sure it's appropriate for you who is straight to be the arbiter of what's oppressive to gay people. and just because you have gay friends and family doesn't mean you can't be homophobic? sure, you're not against them as a person and you aren't actively hating on them just because they're gay which i applaud you for, but that doesn't hide the fact that you disapprove of them being gay, which is a homophobic thought itself. and trying to defend yourself because you have a gay friend is really shitty, that's your friends personal feeling towards you; of course he's going to be biased and say that, although i'm sure 90% of the lgbt community would agree with me that you're homophobic despite what your bi friend has to say.Β
following on from that, anybody can get aids from having unprotected sex, gay men's chances are just slightly higher. that's like saying you don't support the straight peoples lifestyle that also died from aids, but the only reason you're bringing that up is because he was gay.
4) would have thought my point would be pretty clear by now, but what i'm trying to get across to your thick mind is gay isn't a lifestyle and people don't chose to be gay. it's a public comment section, any comment you make is open from discussion. if you didn't want to continue talking about it, it would have been smarter to just say from the beginning that you don't want to carry on the topic instead of dragging it on. why are you now trying to deny the fact you're defending yourself? of course everybody would defend themselves in an argument.Β
I know i can't do anything about it, well done genius. but as I said, making a comment on a public comment section means that you're making yourself open to discussion, if you share your belief and are expecting everybody to agree with you and not to start up some controversy, you were wrong. i was in hope trying to change your mind, although as they say you, can't reason with a homophobe ; )
now, sorry to be an ass but since you wanted to end the discussion so badly, i'll go ahead and end it here and have the last say as i'm not particularly up to typing out another essay on why you're wrong and have it just fly over your head.

People are born gay, but many do not realize it until they are much older. I've been gay pretty much my entire life, but I did not figure it out until I was old enough to know what it was.Β
And for the lesbian? People's sexualities change, but do not 'become'. I was bisexual when I was much younger, then pansexual, and so forth. Gays can also become 'straight' due to pressure, abuse, and so forth. Although, they are still very much gay, and may even be bisexual or a different sexuality. There is no way in saying that they aren't, lying, which happens a lot in lgbt, that they really are is another case played in the part of sexuality. It's not a choice, chemicals, the brain, and genetics all play a part. Seemingly, they may be making it seem like they are x sexuality when they could also not be. People tend to believe in their own lies if they tell themselves it enough.Β

Though I'm not too sure on the whole subject, I do see one point in how it couldn't possibly be a choice in most occasions.Β
Like, do you think a guy would choose to be gay, if he was living in a family that despised even the mention of homosexuality? Β
π: 0 β©: 0
To be honest, I personally believe that humans aren't born with any sexuality. We choose to be what we choose to be; just like I chose to be pansexual. It's a jaded logic, but I think in that specific way. I don't support those who are against homosexual marriage though.

It's like people are saying it's a choice it's like there telling us that we're all Bisexual
So it's not a choice

I've seen cases of people who turned gay because every heterosexual relationship they were in ended badly or otherwise went wrong.

I feel like it depends on how you were raised, and then how you choose to experiment-or not. I was a shitty little homophobe as a kid, and was straight as heck. then my friend told me he was gay, and we were so close that I couldn't drop him for anything. I started learning more about it, and I became open to looking at girls as potential romantic relationships. I learned I liked both girls and guys. It wasn't exactly a choice, but it was definitely not how I was born. I think its more about when you choose to look at things differently and try it out.Β

I've actually seen people saying that they did choose to be straight... Like what the heckΒ Β

But if they choose to be gay your emoji would be:Β Β

Not really, you're affirming something without even knowing me.Β Β
If they said they had chosen to be gay I'd have the exact same reaction, but I've never seen homosexuals saying they did choose their sexuality.Β

apparently "chose" to be gay. never mind that it's disrespectful as all hell and obvious she did it for attention.

Well now that's weird.Β
Personally speaking I did not choose my sexuality, if I could I would have rather chosen to be heterosexual than having to deal with the idiocy of bigots around me, but I just can't help the fact I feel attraction to all and any sex/gender.
People choosing their sexuality is just a dumb myth to me.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, i'm the same as you but the opposite. i can't help not feeling sexual attraction to anybody, and if i could choose, i'd rather not deal with bigots, but they seem to exist in and for every sexuality these days.
but i agree. "choosing" your sexuality is dumb and homophobic.
π: 0 β©: 0
Yee! You cannot change or choose your sexuality, but you can choose whether or not to follow your heart. Like, a gay male/female can take a beard/dress to hide their sexuality.
