Click here for the article.

So, was the way we behave engrained in us before we were born? Or has it developed over time in response to our experiences?

A person is born gay. Period. They will never feel attracted to the opposite gender and are more partial to the same gender. Homosexuality is not a choice. No one would choose to be a homosexual with all the discrimination going on. And I know people who are gay who say it's ineviditable that they are this way. It is a mental defect (and yes, I said defect) and people overcomplicate things because it's supposedly against nature.

And I just want to say, stop sticking up for homosexuals by saying

"There's nothing wrong with being a homosexual. What if you really loved someone but they were of the same sex?"

Then I would say

"And what if you really loved someone and they were the opposite sex?"

Sorry, just had to say that. Because it gets on my nerves. Homosexuals are not anymore 'open-minded' than heterosexuals. Actually, one's sexual preference has nothing to do with being open-minded because it's just how you're born. Being bisexual or homosexual is just not mainstream is all.

Wrong. My step brother used to be straight, then bi, then fully gay. He used to be very attracted to girls.

^Okay, well what is your stance on the issue then? What do you think? You should say more than what you heard...

As I said before, maybe he didn't realize he was gay until later but he could still have always been gay. Also, maybe he did not want to accept the fact that he was a homosexual.
