Is sexuality a choice?

nope nope nope nope nope nope noep neop. not even bothering fixing the last two nopes.

of course not. i didn't choose to be gay (i think i am gay).

 

Well, there are some scientific research that have confirmed that sexual orientation is given by epigenetic causes, but nothing is sure.
I don't remember to have chosen nothing, not consciously at least.

 

If it was a choice who would choose it? No I don't think this was a choice. I never chose to adore women.. to want to marry the sex I can't have children with ''naturally'' I believe conditioning COULD have something to do with being gay but I remain positive it is in my genetics. I didn't ''turn'' Lesbian.. there was always something there.. I even remember when I was 7 years old when an older girl at school would make me really nervous. I couldn't bare to find out one day that everything I have been feeling was wrong and somehow something I can ''fix'' i've prayed heavily to god back when I was afraid of going to ''hell'' for feeling this way.. I asked him to fix me and blah blah blah.. Look at me now.. Still lesbian. I never got ''fixed''. I was young and naive when I was gullible enough to believe there is a lake of fire for people who are gay.. And it messed with me for a long time. Now that I am alot older I just think to myself ''what kind of god would send his own children to hell for being true to themselves anyway'' These days I don't have a religion.. I believe in my own things.

Anyway sorry for the rant.. To conclude once again no I don't think it's a choice.

 

It is a choice as much as being born is a choice.

 

I never asked for this.

 

How awesome it would be if it were a choice. I'd go like hmm maybe I wouldn't want to have sex with a guy tonight because after all, being gay is a choice.

 

It's not a choice, it's a preference. It's kinda like taste and preference. It's how you feel internally and it will never go away.

 

nope! would be great if it was though

 

Does it matter?

 

It's not, even for people with fluid sexualities, they don't choose the fluidity either.

Humans have a lot less free will than they think.

 

nope. going to the movies, is a choice. wearing the clothes you want, is a choice. listening to music you want, is a choice

 

No, you can't choose it.

 

It isn't a choice. I think the environment you grow up in can influence it, but ultimately it is inherent and not something you can decide.

 

If it was a choice, do you think there would be so many gay people? Especially before the recent increase in acceptance?

 

It's not a choice but I could chose to lie about my sexual orientation and live a heterosexual life to make my parents happy .

 

No. It's not a choice.

If it WAS a choice though, I don't understand how that could ever be used as an argument against homosexuality. If it was a choice, it'd be YOUR choice to make, not someone else's. We don't get upset at vegetarians for choosing not to eat meat. They aren't harming anyone else. If we could choose our sexuality, what would give anyone else the right to shame you for choosing to have a relationship with the same sex? It isn't hurting anyone.

I've never understood that...

 

Its not a choice. People that say its a choice are either dumb, stupid or ignorant or maybe a combination of them all (take your pick). As a poster said earlier if it was a choice would you choose it? and if so why?

Its just something that happens, you can't help who you are attracted to, regardless of what some of these scientist tests "say".

 

There are also some women that chose to be lesbians because they hate men also know as political lesbians I wouldn't lump every lesbian on the planet into that group just because a woman chose it . I don't like women like that but I think they have all right to chose their sexuality .
