I was reading:
I don’t think people are born gay.. I don’t think when you are born, your a gay baby. I think that it’s just more of what your more attracted to than being a dead set choice. I wouldn’t really label it a choice, but it’s in that same family. I believe part of why people are gay is do to the enviroment they grow up in. I don’t really know how to explain what i’m trying to say, but i don’t think that God created you to be gay.. He knows later in life you will be.
So, if a gay person isn’t born gay, a straight person isn’t born straight? It’s basically just an open book waiting to be written in to determine the outcome? I see what you’re saying about the environment, but I don’t necessarily agree. My mother’s best friend was brought up in a very, very strict Catholic family in a small town where she was tought that being gay was a sin, a choice, and the punishment was Hell. Even with that environment, she never once doubted that she was gay. She’s just never had an attraction to men. It’s really that simple. Choice isn’t really a factor. You don’t choose to love someone. You don’t choose your sexuality. However, you DO choose how you act upon the feelings and emotions and attractions. I think that’s what people get most confused about when they say “choice.” I don’t choose to be attracted to females, but I do choose to act on my feelings and be outly gay because I wouldn’t try to hide who I am. I’m not going to let religion become a big part of it simply because there’s a very high chance that I don’t beleive in the same “God” as you. To each his own.
