QUOTE(MissFits @ Sep 22 2007, 03:32 PM)  But, you are saying it is a learned behavior. That's not possible if animals don't learn it. Even some pigs are gay, and they are the closest thing to humans in the animal world. Something like 3 or 4 chromosomes off. Anyhoo. Scientist are starting to find that they can detect hormonal imbalances in the womb (I believe it was stated previously in this post). They are actually trying to cure being gay. They wouldn't be able to do that if it were a learned behavior. ^ so ur saying being gay is something that needs to be cured? it's a disease? once again, just because an animal engages in a homosexual act doesn't mean that animal is gay. it doesn't go around looking for only same sex partners. i don't care what pigs do, WE AREN'T PIGS. pigs have completely different lifestyles than humans. don't u see a difference between homosexuality in animals and humans? are our chromosomes similar? yeah. is anything else in our lifestyle similar? no not really QUOTE(Insurmountable @ Sep 22 2007, 03:33 PM) I'm no ignorant, but I can't possibly understand how the hell theres a gay gene. me eitherrrrrrrrr |

This is to say that animals do not merely exhibit homosexual behavior. Rather, there are animals who are exclusively attracted to the same sex, despite all other variables being reasonably considered. Homosexuality is a natural phenomena. Given our observations and our knowledge of neurological functions, animals do not have a choice in regards to their sexual orientation. We are more like animals than not. f**k, we are animals. Insofar as all the science suggests, sexual orientation is not a choice. |
