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.

I chose to be straight when I saw a nice boy and wanted to be more than friends. Does that count?

I chose to be lesbian when i saw a beautiful girl up in my school and wanted to be more than friend.
Also I choosed to be Transgender when I understoond that I has no penis and no testosterone on my body.
Does that count?
No, seriusly, did you really asked that? I hope you were just kidding
You can't choose what you are. You born like it.
Actually when I was younger like 7-8 years old, I do thought I was straight, and the only thought to kiss another girl was just disgustin for me, even just see two girls or two boys kissing or cuddling was ewk for me.Β
What an homophobe, just because social media, and media in general, put in my head that being "straigh" was the normal thing to be.Β
No fucking way. I knew I wasn't really straight, I got taken several times with boys just because I wanted to deny the fact that I was really attracted to girls. I hated being that way. But one day I met her, she was beautiful, and right next me, I got crushed by her, and I really wanted be something more with her. (( Too bad I never had the courage to say it to her )) Anyway, I've got lots of friends here, who supported me whatever. I understoond that being homosexual wasn't disgustin at all.Β
Altho, I had to face another thing after the being lesbian. I needed to face (( And i'm STILL faceing )) dysphoria. It is such a bad thing.
But I need to live with it, at least till I will finally have my hormones replacement terapy and surgeries.
I'm actually Heterosexual Panromantic (( Heterosexual because I define myself as a man now )), because I'm sure that I can fall in love with a boy too, and every other single person that is not a girl, (( well girls too, mostly girls )) because Love is about feels. I tend to have more feels to person I am more attracted, that I find more beautiful, wonderful, coolers, cutes, etch. I would never think that a boy can be sexy, for me. Really, if I think of a naked boy, I am like "ewk". For you can be different. Because you born like it.
You born heterosexual. I born Lesbian stucked in a girl body. It is not a choice.

I actually chose to be bi back in middle school.
How ever there are some physical characteristics that run in gay and straight people. For example most women's index and ring fingers are about the same length, while men's index fingers are shorter than their ring(this happens due to the exposure of testosterone while in the womb)Β . Now most of the time (not all of the time) but most with gay men their index and ring fingers are about the same length. Now I'm not to sure but I think it's the same with most lesbians that their index is finger than their ring, again I'm not to sure. Just correct me if I'm wrong on that one.
Look it up! I swear I'm not crazy.....

I used to only date women as a teenager and later choose to be straight in my early 20's. I chose to be with my husband. I personally think it's a choice.
π: 0 β©: 2
Or you could be Bi. In the end you did make a choice, but it was for your life partner not sexuality. Sexuality isn't as black and white as I'm attracted to men so I must be straight, but now I'm attracted to women so I'm gay. You can be bi or Demi or pans even.Β

I appreciate your comment. I know myself as far as who I am sexually attracted to and personally I can say I have made a 180 as to what I'm attracted to and what I no longer am.

i believe its a choice too :3

Here's a news flash: it isn't.Β
No one in the LGBT community made a conscious choice to be why they are. They make the choice to act on their emotions and feelings but they didn't choose to have them. Hundreds of thousands of LGBT teens kill themselves every year because of the way society treats them. If they made the choice to be that way, wouldn't it just be so much easier for them to switch back? Oh wait, they can't. My brother didn't choose to be trans. He simply is. Despite having an accepting family he still had panic attacks on the regular and is extremely self conscious about his body. It suck for him, but here's the thing: it would be so much worse for him if he had to continue to masquerade as a girl. He didn't choose this, because life would be so much easier if he could choose to want to be a female. WHY would he purposefully pick a harder life?Β
Think about this before you respond, and on a side note I'm an atheist so the "god said so" argument will bear no fruit with me.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
I believe its a choice, don't try and convince me to believe otherwise.
π: 0 β©: 2
Is being straight a choice? Even deeper down, is what gender you are born as a choice? Is what family you are going to be born to a choice? Also your icon matches your comment. There is so much richness in life but many factors we humans impose on ourselves can risk a richness and wholeness in life. So go out and see it! If you actually try and talk to someone who is homosexual about this, you may see things in a whole different way. The way you experience life and the quality of it, the interest/observation of patterns around you IS a choice, so go choose that!

Look, i see that you dont have the same belief but i am a christian and in the bible, it states sexuality is a choice. do i have anything against homosexuals, bisexuals, etc. no. i want them to have freedom. please do not take this as offense this is just what i believe.
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't take it as a offence. I don't think you have anything against other sexualities, I would if you actually stated something of the like. I was just trying to illustrate a point to you, bud. No harm done

You're a bit of a douche...
Your sexuality isn't a choice. If someone thinks it is, then that means they are bi. Only a bisexual would be able to look at a girl one day and say "I'm gonna be straight. Maybe i'll be gay tomorrow."
For me, men SICKEN me. I can't look at a guy and say "Oh, i'd fuck that." I look at men and think "I LOVE HIS HAIR! I want my hair cut like that~" where as i look at women and i'm just... boobs man. they're so great. It's the same with straight men when they look at another man. They don't want to suddenly throw themselves at them! It's gross to them!
If it were a choice, then i'd be straight right now. I nearly slept with a guy but I was so disgusted in him - even though I thought he was attractive in... a way..? - that i vomited on him before he could even get his shirt off. Women are my thing. You're obviously just bi and want to force the world into thinking you're correct just because you're attracted to both sexes.

I agree with the person below me. It's not technically a choice biologically, but it can also be fluid.Β

:v i still kinda think sexuality is a choice
-shrug-
i chose to be panromantic and i'm keeping my sexuality like that

also... just saying... ive never heard anyone say its hard to become gay. people turn gay all the time.Β so why is it so hard to become straight? if its really not a choice then there shouldn't be a difference, right?

When do people turn gay all the time?

I know plenty of people who've just up and decided "im going to be gay" or "I decided I like being gay"
people literally turn gay all the time, its all a matter of situations people are inΒ and things. example, if you need one, would be when people are raped and then decide they're terrified of men or women and thus no longer feel attracted towards them.

if there is a way to change something... a proven scientific way to change something... and you don't do it... its called a choice. you CAN change from being gay if you honestly wanted toΒ (and im completely open to homosexuals and whatnot, don't get me wrong im probably the biggest yaoi-lover you can find so don't think im bashing). Do you choose to stay the way you are or are u going out and looking for a way to change it? I can tell you that most people who are gay (and even straight) don't. they have no desire to change... like.. rly... being gay isΒ a FAD now. you're gay andΒ you're like... rainbowsparkleawesome in America.
also, skin color, gender, and hair color can be changed, no matter what you're born with. if you're born straight u can choose to be gay, if you're born gay u can choose to be straight.
also, keep in mind, you can be something even if you u don't like it, and you moreΒ than often get used to it and learn to like it. example: windowsΒ 8 *shot*Β
it doesn't change the fact that you CAN be something else tho.... I mean.. after all, u can BE anything u want to be, right?
so just... y'know... keep those things in mind

I'm going to try to be nice here.Β
Liking Yaoi gives you the most incorrect descriptions of gays possible. Being Gay in america is very different from the "rainbowsparkleawesome" you describe it to be. If you come out of the closet in school, you get bullied relentlessly. If you don't, you always know your living a lie. You can't choose to be straight or gay. Take it from personal experience.Β
Btw, this is a short rundown of the flaws i found in this list. I don't have enough time to post them all
Β Β
π: 0 β©: 1
well for starters, that really all depends on the type of yaoi you're looking into. there are kinds that are meant for the purpose of sexual entertainment and there are the kinds that tell true stories, don't just assume that because I say yaoi I mean porn.
also, how is not being bullied mean that you're living a lie? it just means you're surrounded by decent people
also, your only complaints against my response wasn't even the main point. im not saying thatΒ everyone is rainbowsparkleawesome, im saying being gay in America is a FAD. people /see/ being gay as being as being rainbowsparkleawesome, not that I do.
if you want to criticize my post then please read it properly first because you obviously didnt
π: 0 β©: 2
Unless your gay. You wont truly get it. And im not saying it to be mean. I mean honestly, untill you are that something, experience that something, etc etc, you cant truly understand it or the feelings and experiences That go with it. I dont know whether you are gay or not soo not assuming anything
I am gay and im not saying you're mean, but you sounded like most people would when they dont really get it.Β
Again im not trying to fight or insult. Just my 2 cents

I think that it CAN be a choice, if a person has enough willpower; mind over matter and all that shit. I don't think there's any absolute in life besides Death and Taxes, so why claim there is, right? Besides, if it WERE a choice, I would be ALL over exercising it. Seriously, if I could choose to be gay, or bi, or whatever, I probably would be.
