My lesbian friend stated, "most gay people choose this lifestyle?" I don't know, do you?
I think some people are more gay than others. I don't think people have to be definitively gay or straight. The line is blurred with a gray area where some people are inclined to be more attracted to one sex over another.
Some people are only attracted to one sex. This is all just a natural fact of human existence.
I don't think they actually choose it. Research has shown that genetics make up part of the reasoning behind it. I think it has become almost fashionable in teen girls but they tend to change as they grow up.
I think some do and some don't. As to whether most choose it, I can't say either way. Guess I am not much help.
I believe sexuality and preference is on a continuum...people will fall somewhere on this line. Most people are on the straight end of the continuum, there are others that will be closer to the middle, and then those of us on the gay/lesbian end. Being gay is not a choice (acting on it is)...it is a feeling, an attraction, a desire.
Some of us are comfortable with this feeling and others of us try to quell it because of fear, shame, embarrassment, etc. Anyway...that's my 2 cents...definitely not a choice (and I'm glad because I'm absolutely fine with it)!
Sexual identity is a sliding scale. Everyone has some small slight inclination of gay in them. Everyone has some small slight inclination of straight in them.
The proportions vary depending on the person and how willing they are to acknowledge their genetics. Some people produce testosterone in greater quantities than estrogen, but both are produced. The link between those 2 and sexual identity has been strongly supported by science.
I point to Roman culture as the example. The Roman aristocracy believed that sex with women was for procreation and recreation. True love could only be found between men.
Some people lean so far one way or the other that they find the opposite absolutely unthinkable. Lesbianism is put on a pedastal in our culture for young women, so it's not surprising that some people that aren't naturally more inclined to it would indulge in it by choice. Others are absolutely 100% opposed to heterosexual intercourse.
Some so much so that they voluntarily have surgery to become the opposite sex. So in summation, some do choose it, but I'd highly doubt that "most" do. Gay men are one of the most discriminated against in our society.
I can't see someone choosing that for themselves.
Most of the gay people I know were molested as children and grew up living a gay lifestyle. So molestation triggered confusion but choosing relationships with same sex as opposed to opposite sex I would have to say is a choice.
People have a right to disagree, definitely. I don't want to get too political here, so I'm going to try to tiptoe around this, but I do want to say that many religious groups (which are known for being against the LGBT "lifestyle") are often taught to push their religious views on people. I can see this making anyone who disagrees quite angry.
A religious person "feels" that there is a g*d, but cannot prove it... even though many claim that their feelings or the bible proves g*d's existence. A lesbian cannot prove that it's a natural thing for her to love a woman and not a lifestyle choice, even though scientific studies may back her up. Since nobody can prove anything, I think everyone should back off of each other.
A religious person isn't going to buy the science and a GLBT person isn't going to buy what's in the bible. I want to add that it's not GLBT that are guilty of this... it's everyone. Christians are guilty of it, scientists, the media, a gay man, a straight woman, me, you.
We all have opinions and those of us with, what we believe to be, "facts" to back it up are going to have a strong opinion and obviously disagree with other opinions. I do want to share one thing, though, that may explain it. It's called the paradox of tolerance... and it's pretty true.
A real life example is me. I consider myself to be an open and accepting person, but I am not open to or accepting of people who are not open and accepting of others. I have a gay friend who is not religious, but I am really just so proud of him for being so tolerant of people who say things to him and disagree with him.
I have a relative who is very religious and does not push her views on my gay friend and I just think this is a really healthy way to live. If something is a sore subject, neither bring it up. They are actually friends.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
