    Something interesting:

    Younger brothers (with the same mother as their older brothers) are more likely to be gay. Scientists think that it has to do with survival of the race, etc; a woman's womb may lack/block/whatever something after one son has already been born, so the two males won't compete.

    yeah I heard that somewhere too. I think it has to do with the level of testosterone vs. estrogen in the younger brother.

    personally i think there is no doubt that people should decide for themselves. i can't stand when religious groups think otherwise. what gives them the right to decide aspects of other people's lives? i was brought up catholic but i strongly disagree with the views of the pope and after i leave for college next year i don't think i'll be going back to church again.

    Well for one I was raised by my mother alone, and I am not homosexual, with that being said I think that if you were raised by your mother and turned out to be homosexual it was probably because you became more femine, also I saw a show where these men were married and had a son who seemed to be very metro/homosexual in his appearance and attributes. So, if you parents are homosexual I think it does influence your choice.

    Everybody have the right of choice, i can't undrstand why people can't acept their choices, and do several acts of descrimination.
    It's cruel, it's inhuman.
    People should have more respect.

    I don't know, I think other people are free to have their views, religious or otherwise.

    Well religiously, you're suposed to get married and have sex to reproduce. Now if people wanted to be homosexual, that defeats the purpose.

    im just trying to say that religious groups should not have the right to say whether people outside their group can or cant be homosexual. i have nothing against religion in general.

    The only problem with religious groups not having a say about sexuality, is that they believe it's wrong, and you'll go to hell if you're gay, so they're trying to save your soul, which they believe its their duty to do..
    So, as much as I hate the religious nutters getting in my face, screaming "Jesus can make you normal" [true life, happened at the Pride Parade] I think they're only doing what they think is best..

    I have some gay friends too but they are usually better and more liberal people as heterosexuals.they can be good parents too.i think people should do what makes them happy,so it's not wrong to be homosexual at all.

    I respect homosexual people. My granddad is gay and, one of my friends is gay and one of them i bisexual. I can't help but thinking about it often, but oh well. It's just who they are I guess. It was hard for me to accept my granddad being gay as he was married to my grandmother. And now he's married to a MAN. That is a bit weird, but that's just how he want's to live, and that is okay with me n_n
    When it comes to girl-friends who are gay, I think it's kinda fun xD I don't feel awkward, because I know I don't fall in love with my male friends, so I wouldn't be "scared" of them falling in love with me :3

    I think it's from Nature. I don't think it comes from nuture, at all. It's just what feels right for them :b

    I don't think I'd be comfortable telling everybody I was gay (I'm not XD) People tend to react in a "ohmygod" way I think : D

    Three words, "I don't care"
    To be frank i've never really thought about what's natural or not.
    Love is natural isn't it?
    It's not like homos are going to make you turn into one. I think we should just let them be sometimes, unless they're making everyone in the World uncomfortable or something.

    There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. That's really all I have to say about it. Those who say otherwise need to use logic. "But boy parts and boy parts don't go together! :( " Who cares? Why would someone choose to have that lifestyle? Obviously it's not a choice. Don't make fun of something that the person has no control over (If you have to make fun of anything at all).

    And for freak's sake, stop using "That's gay." as an insult. Stuff is not homosexual because you don't like it. Just say "stupid". Calling something "gay" that is in fact not homosexual makes you sound bigoted and like scum.

    I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

    My uncles are homosexual, and they are as intelligent as everyone else here, maybe even more.
    They didn't choose that lifestyle, they were borned with it.

    That quote in the first post made me cry ... because, sadly, that really is what society's turned into.

    I'm all for homosexuals ... they love the same as everyone else.

    Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. :p

    I am not the type to insult gays, however, I do think it is wrong =/
    I also don't believe the baloney that homosexuality is a "condition" and that you are "born gay". It is a choice, and if thats what you like, it shouldn't matter what people say.

    I think homosexuality isn't necessarily a choice (I have several Gay friends and am fine with it, whether or not my hetero friends are), but it definitely isn't wrong. When people think homosexuality they instantly think sex, while sex isn't the ONLY thing involved, sure it's probably because of standards in today's society, but there's only so much we can control >< (lost my train of thought... CURSE YOU TELEVISION!)
