    Including the sexual orientation they choose to identify with.

    I'm sorry, that preference wasn't implied? :wink:

    What politically correct BS. Absurd to think that "the way a child was reared by his or her parents" cannot effect the "environmental, emotional" factors of a child. And "having a sexual experience with someone of the same sex when the person was young" doesnt have any effect? By implication somehow sex with someone of the opposite sex can have such an effect???

    If the above was true, all Sambia men are bisexual, because of hormonal, and biological factors. NONSENSE! They LEARNED to be bisexual.

    You don't know what you are talking about. When you get all of the credentials and scientific clout of those who study and research these things for a living, I suppose I and others will have to regard what you say.

    As things are, it is just plain easy to see that you are wrong about what you say.

    dixon, those of us who have read a few of your posts, are mainly trying to encourage others who read them (likely for the first time) to CHECK what you say.

    It's not like I and most of the regulars here, are unfamiliar with the PRIMARY reason most of what you say fails. It's not worth going in to with you, but it is worth others warning lurkers and newcomers to CHECK what you say. If won't take them long to see why I've said what I just did.

    While I don't believe homosexuality is a chosen behavior, I don't feel the question is suitable enough to support that theory. I believe racism can be a chosen behavior (following some traumatic incident involving an individual of a particular race as an example) yet people will still choose to adopt a racially superior mentality given a rather generous amount of disdain & immediate dismissal for their positions. Some racists will also refrain from revealing their true selves in public for fear of consequences (much like homosexuals) but it doesn't stop the private occurrence.

    It doesn't matter whether LGBT orientation is the result of nature or nurture. It's fine. The problem is the leftism.

    It is called the desire folks to have freedom and liberty.

    Same desire that folks felt compelled to risk death in order to kick the British out and seek independence

    It's a valid question.

    Obvious is one chooses their own sexuality, he had a choice, and at some point logically chose to be heterosexual.

    So when did you choose your sexual orientation?

    LOL .. strange tribal rituals that have nothing to do with preference and more with folks forcing their beliefs on others just like religious folks over here do.

    You must have searched long and "hard" through much of this type of material. I see there are ads on this site to meet gay men.

    hmmmmmmmm

    You choose your sexual orientation every time you choose to have sex. You choose who to be attracted to every time you focus on someone you find attractive. It's really simple, but I don't care to play the game. It makes no sense to be attracted solely to genitalia. Are you marrying a penis? Are you going to have meaningful conversations with a vagina?

    From the male perspective, there is nothing a man can do that a woman can't, and only marginally more that a woman can do that a man can't. This is not a reasonable criterion. The only sensible position is to be attracted to those who share your values, those who deserve your attraction, and those who are attractive-- an adjective which no one can maintain applies only to one sex. There is no other substantive issue to take into account when discriminating. It must be, by necessity, a psychological block, confirmation bias, etc. that allows people to possess such a hyperfocus on either gender.

    Well now, that is an opinion that I can agree with.

    Nonsense. All men in the Sambia tribe are also attracted to boys. Just as an animal can be taught to be attracted to an apparatus used for collecting semen.

    No, you don't. Wouldn't that make everyone omni-sexual? :)

    I think most people are attracted, then they pay closer attention to the person. Even so, I can't totally dispute your thought.

    Sometimes with people, it's very complex.

    It isn't always seemingly logical, but there is more than a little to be said for physical attributes and appearance. There is science to back it up too. Even so, I would agree that the person INSIDE of the body is the overall most interesting aspect.

    I concentrate on the "eyes", almost every time... they are somewhat like a window to a person's heart.

    Interesting.

    You make some good points. Yet sexual-orientation isn't really a simple thing. If it were, there would likely be very little controversy over it... and the conversations about it would likely be VERY short.

    So, you really believe that a person could/should be programed to operate sexually in a certain way?

    You surely haven't proven that either is actually possible.

    Only a man can make a woman a mother and only a woman can give birth to a mans child. Wonder how many parents view their children as a marginal difference.

    And a homosexual can impregnate a person of the opposite gender; often done, yet kept relatively quiet.

    Don't wonder. I've seen some parents, who should be literally BANNED from parenting, IMO. And then there are those who wouldn't have children if you PAID them.

    Even so, none of what you've mentioned above is relevant to someone choosing a 'homosexual' orientation.

    What can you do about the truth, dixon? If you don't wish to face it, anything and everything can seemingly be without substance.

    And sometimes they even marry so that their child can benefit from the advantage of having both their mother and father present in the home to provide and care for them. Not sure of your point.
