Quote:The fact of the matter is, if you have sex with another man, you are gay. There aren't many people out there who would think you were straight knowing you did that. Granted, there's a difference between those who experiment and those who fully embrace the lifestyle, but that's a difference of resolve. I couldn't become a homosexual because it clashes with my morals, my beliefs, and because I find it disgusting BUT, my morals, beliefs and feelings of disgust were not genetically encoded into me. If my life had been different in several ways I could have just as likely grown to the age of 21 and have been gay. Genetics have nothing to do with how much you like something. If this were a matter of genetics, it would not be 'gay or straight', it would be 'sex or no sex'. Having a raw sex drive is genetic, something living beings need to reproduce. Having a specific sex drive is not genetic. That comes from experience and choices.
That is completely absurd. You are not homosexual just because you do that... being homosexual means you find the same gender attractive. It has nothing to do with whether or who you have sex with...
Oh, and how can you be so sure that there is nothing genetic in it? Its not like we know what all of our genes do yet, so you can't be sure... not until the gene is 100% decoded and understood, which will take quite a while... and honestly you don't make sense. Sure, reproduction is the purpose of it... but why couldn't there be something that, if it ends up a specific way (one gene? some combonation of settings? I don't know), means that the creature (any animal) is attracted to the same gender... it obviously isn't the 'normal' thing, but all kinds of genetic things aren't the 'normal' thing...
