    It's a psychology. You are born with it or you develop it, and it might have to do with genetics but in a very obscure way.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    Judging from the party I was at on Monday, being fairly weird, ugly, and not fitting in.

    On the plus side girls kissing is never a bad thing. I felt for the straight one who had to run away...

    That wasn't her dad. And who initially wrote a note explaining why he killed his daughter too, before she hid and he couldn't find her.

    A stranger and your father are very different things in the psyche of a child. I think it is fair to say that this contributed to her having a warped perception of men. Not that it happens in everyone who expereiences this type of trauma, I am just pointing to this one instances where conjecture seems reasonable.

    Interesting question. My Gf was approached by a lesbian one time and
    she said it felt weird, but she didn't feel afraid.
    Personally I don't see how it affects me what they do sexually.
    I find it weird that other peoples sex live is not a common topic (to a certain extent) to talk about, unless they are gay.

    In my view it's mainly a matter of mankind having royally screwed up the air, food, and water supply and thusly paving the way for genomes to get severely messed up.

    There is so much toxic crap in there nowadays that many are born with terrible birth defects, including the desire for "homosexuality."

    I believe that it's a choice, with a combination of how you were raised and the environment you were born and raised in. But mostly it's a choice, I chose to like woman because I know that that's the way it's supposed to be, looking down the physical way.

    I could just as easily like men, if I wanted to, but I'm not going to because homosexuality is am obstruction of God's plan for humanity.

    It`s physical. I believe scientific studies agree with that.
    Well, you could say it`s mental, of course, but mentality has roots in the physical..

    If it was already proven that being gay is physically hardwired in genes, then there would be no need to discuss this topic furthur. There is no evidence of of a gay gene, the results of the xp28 study is challenged by similar studies.

    So can you tell us when, exactly, you chose to be attracted to women? Can you recall the day when you weighed the decision, saying to yourself, "Hot leathermen or cheerleaders? Which shall it be?"

    A more interesting question would be:

    What causes homosexuality in animals?

    Answering that question should answer the first question.

    Or an even harder question:

    What doesn't cause homosexuality in humans/animals?

    A combination of factors - its interesting to note that those who study behavioral sciences and mental health have yet to agree on what causes homosexual behavior.

    It could be the environment of the society involved
    It could be a hormone imbalance
    It could be just a matter of choice.

    Some would espouse that its genetic - which is about the only cause of homosexuality that I would disagree with

    It could be a combination of all of the above.
    O well, seems like 'some' people decide to ruin a perfectly valid threat. Nice going guys... doc bean

    yes actually. July 14 1999 It was a tuesday IIRC. Now dont get me wrong the leatherman made a good arguement and even busted out the village people. I nesarly choose them to. Then that cheerleader did that thing with her tounge and showed what she could do with her legs. When the guy tried that he tore his hamstring and bit his tounge open
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
