    No, I'm an only child.

    And, yes it is exactly the same as a fashion choice. It's just like choosing to put on a pair of boots that will attract attention.

    So tell me when did you choose females? Did you ever choose males and then decide you didn't like males? Can you still choose to become aroused by males?

    How do you explain men who used to like women, but now like men? And those who used to date men, but now are with women?

    Yes, bisexuality exists. Are you trying to say that everyone is bisexual? Are you trying to say you are bisexual? What is your point?

    Human sexuality isn't always 100% this or that. There are many shades of gray in the continuum.

    So what's your point then? Are you somehow trying to prove that homosexuality is something other than a choice?

    I don't want to wade too far into the discussion, because I got kids/job/life.

    Maybe instead of talking about being born this way, it would make more sense to talk about having certain tendencies, interests, and desires. For instance, a lot of us heterosexuals have the desire to have sex before, inside, and outside of marriage. Does that always make the desire a good choice? Are there certain times to exercise the desire, and better times to recuse one's self? Does simply having a desire to do something make it a good thing to do?

    I think classifying all people who have same sex attraction together a) does not treat them like people; and b) confuses the issues involved for a lot people.

    I know a lot of folks who struggle with these desires and don't want these desires in their lives. Some people embrace these desires. Both sides of the "issue" I think would benefit from talking about same sex attraction as a spectrum rather than as just a "thing".

    No, being gay or being homosexual isn't a job, it isn't a hobby it isn't the evening workout that you choose to do. It is borned within.

    Regardless whether you "practice" or not, if you are attracted to men, you are gay.

    He has no point. He's just wasting your time trying to get you to prove sexuality isn't a choice when he can't prove that it is a choice. Standard bigtexxx logic failure.

    You didn't address my question at all, probably because you can't.

    You are making a gray situation black and white.

    What if you find men disgusting but you like anal sex?

    What if you are disgusted by anal sex but are attracted to men?

    Can two men be emotionally attached but not have a physical relationship?

    Or would you choose to lump this all in as 'bisexual'?

    The way I look at it, it is a sexual temptation from the devil that should be restrained just like how you shouldn't have sex before marriage. But you cant even say that nowadays without people calling you a bigot.

    More defensiveness from you. I love watching the liberals squirm when they can't explain their positions.

    I don't need to, I'm not a scientist nor a psychologist. there are plenty of scientific researches been done and you can find them by simply going to www.google.com.

    oh, how cute of you.

    You remind me of the Church "asking" Galileo about heliocentric ideas.

    well, you certainly won't have your nose in the scientific literature, but I thought this would be good for your perspective.

    Homosexual behaviour increases male attractiveness to females

    then it should be easy for you to provide conclusive proof, based on your reply

    I wonder if you had difficulty reading. I replied to your one liner where you did not ask a question.
