Ok i already know the answer to this one becuase i am gay. I just want to see what others think. There is no way that being gay is a choice. I would have never chosen this for myself. I would have wanted to fit in and be like everyone else. That is what all kids want. I am 18 now and have known i was gay since a very early age (like 10). There is no way this is a choice because at this age i knew nothing about sex.....i just knew that i was attracted to boys.
I have evidence. The bible. And at this i will stop. Because i know you will never take the time and actally read it. So farewell.
I agree...it is sad and as much as some may not like it...but i pity those who think otherwise..its obviously pointless arguing this with some non-believers..and it is also obvious they reject it because it duz not accomodate them....

xrayman...you cud disagree with all i have to say and i expect that because you are trying to accommodate yourself and ofcourse the bible didn't help...so you would by all means find everything to support your actions...but at the end of the day i guess we all have our own beliefs and faith....so good luck to you....in my next life if i had to do this again i would still not end up like you because i believe that there is a God and i have faith in him, therefore from reading his word i would find wisdom and understanding and strength to overcome the evil that is around...i am a TRUE believer in Jesus Christ and God our father.the only way i cud end up like you is if i did not know God and believed in him..
stoneweilder: - God condemn's sin...maybe i said it wrong...but homosexuality is sinful and if u disagree then its up to u...you probably wouldn't understand so as to reason with me, so it is pointless....
Once again, this is not a religious posting...so you bible pushers should take a step back.
Bottomline the answers to the post should be based on fact. Scientific evidence have PROVEN that there is some underlying genetic cause (possibly with linkage to enivornmental experience as well) to homosexuality....those are FACTS.
Your BELIEFS are not facts. The facts in your case are...yes a bible does exist, yes there was a man named Jesus, as far as the rest, it is all hersay. There are no proven FACTS about this Jesus guy and what he did in life. The facts are that he was a man who preached. Thats it. Period. The rest of your arguement is based on BELIEFS.
Attention all Bible Thumpers. Not everyone is interested or accepts you and your Gods version of the world. If you care to address the original OP not once did he mention the word religion, god, sin, jesus or whatever else it is you fanatics love to preach.
This isnt the religion board. It is a teenager asking in the teens section. He doesnt appear to have any care about god or religion. Like many of us that you 'fanatics' refuse to accept. Take your preaching to the religion board. I will accept it there. Thats the place for it!!!!
how come there are gay men who have children when they were / are marred to women?
Obviously , they were able to "function" in a hetereosexual capacity.
Also, some cultures deem being the "pitcher" normal, but the "catcher" gay. This I don't understand.
Also, homosexual sex in prison among otherwise heterosexual men? For the victim it is rape, but a willful act by the perpetrator; unless it is consensual.
HIV and AIDS --- United States, 1981--2000 :
Male-to-male sex has been the most common mode of exposure among persons reported with AIDS (46%), followed by injection drug use (25%) and heterosexual contact (11%). The incidence of AIDS increased rapidly in all three of these risk categories through the mid-1990s; however, since 1996, declines in new AIDS cases have been higher among MSM and injection drug users than among persons exposed through heterosexual contact (Figure 2).
if 10% of the population is gay and yet 46% of cases are due to male -male sex, then the incidence and risk for a homosexual male is several times the risk for a heterosexual male.
I could not find more recent data, and this is for the USA
in Africa, hiv is transmitted predominantly heterosexual in transmission.
I pity all of you who are dense enough to believe that the Bible can be used to answer scientific questions. It's sad that a book of fables can have such a devastating effect on (hopefully) otherwise normal people. The original question was not a question of faith or opinion, it was "Is being gay a choice" Simply put: NO! I don't understand how you can argue this with such clear data stating it's not a choice.
To macksmom: the existence of Jesus is actually becoming controversial because the timeline for his death and other historical events don't match up AND he doesn't appear in Roman works of history. Did he really exist? I don't know; however, I don't really think it matters given how Christians have manipulated his words.
To goldilox and fallen2grace: the reason the Bible is so against homosexual sex is because it was used as a weapon in antiguity. To intimidate others, Romans (though not exclusively) raped people. The invention that is Christianity was really pushed as a way to destroy the Roman Empire. They had a brutal culture that was very unfair to those not in the highest classes and everything Roman had to be deemed "sin" in order to change the culture. When you look at Christianity, it's really just a combination of various pagan religions and Judaism that was given to the masses as a legitimate religion. Take a good look at the advent of Christianity...you'll find that nothing adds up.
I don't really think we need religious fanatics telling us what is normal, natural, or healthy when they admittedly choose to disregard facts that don't agree with their warped world view.
Xrayman: I do enjoy Buddist philosophy. I have many Thai friends (Thailand is a very Buddist country) and it's amazing how well adjusted everyone seems to be. Maybe it's because the focus of Buddist thought is self-improvement. They don't play the shame-game like western religions. You mind your own business and work to improve yourself, not judge others.
