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 think that it's just a variation, but definately NOT a mental disorder. and i dont think that i can be "chosen" i mean looking at all the homophobia in the world, who would choose to be homosexual? they're just people, they deserve to be treated the same way as we do to anyone else.
