Being homosexual is NOT a choice. It is also not some recent "invention"... it has always existed both among humans and other animals... its just that before recently it wasn't out in the open and it among animals wasn't really known... saying people "choose" to be a homosexual is just so dumb that I can't really think offhand what to say... while it clearly isn't a trait passed directly down to children, it definitely has some kind of genetic backing... probably wherever heterosexualism is defined in most people.

Of course, you have no proof to back any of this, and you're in frank opposition to common sense. Please, if you're going to call my position dumb, at least have a reason to back that up. There have been no genetic studies offering any kind of proof that homosexuality is genetic, and there won't be because it's bullshit. They just want to deny it's a choice because if you don't have a choice, then you can't be responsible for what you do. That's a cop-out for the ages. Being gay is a choice, just like being sexually active at all is a choice. One can choose to be totally celibate, and be neither gay nor straight. But being gay is not natural. If you look in nature, while some animals do practice homosexual acts, nature DEFINITELY favors heterosexuality. That's why female animals go into heat, release pheromones, and can reproduce offspring with male sperm.

There are no very, very few actions a human being can do that they cannot control. Their sexual urges are definitely NOT one of them. Even though you might personally find it revolting, you can choose to have sex with a man yourself right now. Even if you're heterosexual, there is nothing natural that stops you from having sex with a member of your own gender. NOTHING. And even if you're gay, there is nothing natural that could stop you from having sex with a woman. If homosexuality were something you could not control, because it were genetic, there would be no such thing as bisexuality. Bisexuality is proof positive that sexual preference is a choice. Again, if you can offer ANY solid proof to the contrary, do so, because simply calling my position dumb when it makes absolutely perfect sense, just doesn't cut it. For that matter, can you even DISPROVE anything I've just said?
