Homosexuals, Variation or Disorder? Options

[Saeglopur]

For some people I know, it's genes. For others, attention.
There's not a lot of homosexuals and bisexuals in my school. If you are a homosexual/bisexual in my school, you're shunned. Completely.

By the way..

and if it is when i guess i my biology teacher miss the part of tlaking about the gay gene.

^ That's called hormonal imbalance. There is no such thing as the gay gene.

Why do you guys want to know anyway? If it doesn't affect you, then don't but in it.

[sammi rules you]

^ same with my school. there's some gay kids but they don't go around parading it cause...cmon. it's wheeler. *sighs*

and she's right, what does it do to you if there's a gay person on the tv? don't watch it then. big whoop. it's not like they're holding your eyelids open and making you watch a tape of them having sex.



oh, and this is my 3000th post.

yeahhh me tooo theres people at my school or around where i live that i seen that are gay. they dont really tell people and stuff unless they are friends with someone but with some people you can really tell.

i also think it is as variation ;; its not really a disorder or something because gay people are just like everyone else except they just like the same sex which may be a kinda big diffrence but its shouldnt be

Being gay isn't a choice. Why would a person chose a life of shame and discrimination when they could be normal?

I agree that people don't "just turn gay". It happens during puberty when normally a guy would start liking a girls. Makes sense, yes? It's more of a delevopmental problem...

I think it's somewhat of a mutation. Some people are born with 11 toes... it's not their fault and it's just how they are.

No other animals have been proven gay. Human genetics is complicated. I don't think human are supposed to be gay. I just think it happens, like anything else in life.

Today in Western Civ. class we were talking about how in the past, during the French Revolution, women like fat guys because it showed they were rich. Maybe it's just the mind-set of people or society? Blah, that made no sense did it?

i dont think ur born homosexual... i think it jus gradually happens over time and u cannot control it. it is definitely not a disorder or anything like that. disorders are bad, who said homosexually was bad? its not, its perfectly okay... well dats what i think. except i dont like seeing homosexual people kissing. but thats it.

I think its a variation, like its in our genes whether we are homosexual or not.

I Definitly Agree

[ryfitaDF]

Do you think homosexuality is the result of natural variation in humans (like how people have different eye color) or is it the result of a mental disorder?

I'm asking this because I recently watched a show that was centered around this debate.

I think it's a natural variation. I don't know why but I just do. I see different sexual orientations like the different colors in eyes. It just occurs.

Your opinion?

i dont know. but i do know that people with variations aren't prohibited for them, and people with disorders aren't prohibited for them (excluding serial killers).

Whenever i see a homo in my school me and my girlfriend make out furiously like we were about to get it on. This leads the gay person to turn their head the opposite way as if it was digusting. Just for shits and giggles but like any other horny teenager, gotta make out or bone.

My 10 cups of coffee today didnt help my horniness but i suppose this weekend will help calm my nerves when i visit me girlfriend

[racoons > you]

^^ how on earth is that relevant?

[actionrobot_go]

It isn't just people that are homosexual that would find that disgusting auroradude

[JustinJuxta]

It's like being left-handed. Who knows why it happens less often? It just does.

[*mSz_dOrk_anGeL*]

Its a lifestyle choice.
Peroid, the end.

[xGlovex]

first of all-i think being homosexual is in your jeans.

second of all-all ppl should be treated alike homosexual or straigh or bi.

third of all-lets not have another martin luther king-haha

[*mSz_dOrk_anGeL*]

^^
How about you learn how to spell?
And no, its not in the 'jeans'.
No one in my family has ever been gay.
Its just who you freakin are.

what??

[*mzkandi*]

i was brought in a christian household and their view on the whole gay issue is that it is totally immoral. me on the other hand, i am more open...whether they say they were born that way or if they say that made the choice , who am i to judge.....but it is an interesting debate

[Saeglopur]

I have a cousin. He's gay.
He has an uncle. He's gay.
His mom says that it's all the dad's fault because his uncle is gay.

I have no idea how that was relevant.. but can't you guys just accept people for who they are and stop wondering about how they are like that in the first place?

[racoons > you]

^^ 'xactly

you wouldnt debate about why someone had bluye eyes, or why they were tall, so why wonder about something equally out of their control

that's horrible that people would call homosexuality a mental disorder 

that is completely right, nothing is wrong with them how could you even say that? I hate it how people thinks its weird if someones homosexual, theyre they same as us they just like ppl of the same sex, and what is wrong with that? absolutely nothing, i think they just chose to be what they are, and i also think its terribble about how they cant get married, so we deserve to be happy and they dont.

[x-hobo-x]

as mentioned before by many, the term "mental disorder" is not really appropriate in this discussion.  To term homosexuality as mental disorder identifies the people negatively (like someone that is "sick") and personally my friends that are gay are more cordial and fun than my straight friends. 

XD i no.. some ppl i no that are gay seem to have more sense of humor :P
and i think it's variation
