Sorry for re-hashing this old topic but I felt to share my knowledge of the subject.
Anyway,
to start off, what I learned in a college human sexuality class is that the basic human templet is female.
With the introduction of hormones and such the body does change. enlarging the clitoris to eventually become a penis. I dont recall all the stages but some type of hormones convert the female body to a male body and the the testicles produce testostorone which in turn mentally changes you to a male.
There is times that this process can be interuppted and only the body is changed without actualy changing the chemical//physical composition of the brain to reflect the bodies changes.
Thus, you end up with a guy who feels like a girl (some cases)
There are those cases where you just have a VERY confused guy.
The idea that homosexuals have a choice to become gay is just absured, almost as absurd as you haveing a choice to believe in God, buts thats a different topic. Given your knowledge of santa claus, can you at this moment choose to believe in him. It just isnt possible to actualy CHOOSE to believe in something, you believe in something based on your feelings and intuition and knowledge.
So moving on, I dont remember the actual statistics but there is a very LARGE percentage of the male population that have "experimented" with members of the same sex. I wouldnt be surprised if a couple of you reading this has... Good luck in getting anyone to actually admit it thou.
There is a huge stigma placed on guys to fit into a certain box. You have to be emotionless... Strong... etc. The minute someone steps out of this box he is labeled gay. Or any other name you can thing of that reflects a feminine quality. Just think of all the nick names there is for male sexual anatomy. They are almost ALWAYS derragatory. I will save your eyes by not listing them.
Lesbianism and Bisexualality in females has overtime gathered a certain exoticness to them through society and I believe this is somewhat sad and wrong.. Although I can't complain at the sight of a couple girls going at it(speaking from experience).
However most of these girls that do it because it is "in" are really not bisexual. They may be able to walk the walk but the feelings inside usualy tend to be absent.
I guess the point I am trying to make is this:
There are people out there that have a scientific explanation for being homosexual. This fact alone should change your view. Just like there is scientific evidence that certain people have mental disorders - a chemical inbalance so they have a medical condition... just as some or maybe most homosexuals have as well.
Not to mention those people born with both sex organs or no sex organs...
So my personal opinion is that they should be free to do what they do, they should EVEN be allowed to have marriage and ya know what,,, my life is complicated enough - i dont have time nor do i have right to look at anyone else's lifestyle and judge them....
questions? class dismissed.
