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

WELL thats just nonsense homosexuality isnt in people's GENES! and if it is when i guess i my biology teacher miss the part of tlaking about the gay gene. I belive that people chose to be homosexual. I find it funny when people say that they were born homosexual because that just nonsense you're either born a boy or a girl (there are exceptions) and later on you chose to be homosexual |

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.. QUOTE 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.
