The idea that you can’t be born gay is rooted in Bi-curiosity

[BrothaZay]

Let me explain

I’m one of the people who believe gay ppl are born that way. For the smart asses, when I say born gay, I don’t mean they were literally a gay baby like Stewie off Family Guy. I mean they naturally are attracted to the same sëx when they come of age.

This idea that “children are gullible and curious “ is nothing more than projection.

I’m a 90s baby so I’ve watched plenty of cartoons as a boy, that had gay characters. Not once did it make me curious or interested in the same sëx.

In my teenage years I watched shows like The Wire that had gay gangsters etc. Still nothing.

This idea that anyone can influence a straight person to turn gay is straight projection from Bi- curious people. THEY saw a gay character and got curious or turned on. They think everyone is like them.

What really pushed me to this side was having a debate with a homophobic mother. She was so strong on “you can’t be born gay”. During the convo tho she asked me a question I will never forget since it came from her ( a homophobe)

It was “so you’re telling me when you were a kid you didn’t sit and decide whether or not you were going to date boys or girls “

I wss literally dumbfounded. As a straight male the answer was clearly no, but the fact that she asked that let me know, she was in fact bisexual herself.

All of them are !!!

Agree

There's an idea that some straight kid might see gay people and want to try imitating that, even though they're not gay. I can agree that that can possibly happen, but they're not going to stick with it unless they're actually gay, so it's not really a concern. Think about all the shyt you tried as a kid because you saw it, until you realized you don't actually like it.

Otherwise, it's just people who are gay discovering that they are gay.

I think you can be born gay or certain traumatic experiences like molestation/parental divorce and abuse could cause it, perhaps by triggering gene expression

I can see this but at the same time it wouldn’t explain why other ppl get molested and don’t turn gay.


Edit: Why df are you putting parents divorce on the same level as being molested

That mother is a dumbass

I always say, i have no idea why im attracted to women…i just am. That’s why i sympathize with gay ppl, i dont think most of them choose it

There are no genetic markers that identify someone as gay
The same people who argue that you're born gay argue that sexuality is fluid
I don't think people are born gay anymore than I think some men are born attracted to fat women. It's probably a combination of environmental factors and developed preferences

I don’t get the genetic argument

Are you saying Theres a straight gene ?

 

[CarltonJunior]

I dont feel that way about gay stuff but I do think the media and other people influenced others to be trans. I don’t feel that its a natural occurrence, outside influence causing people to come to that determination that they are the wrong gender.

 

[MischievousMonkey]

Why can't it be both?

The scientific consensus on human behavior shows that it's not fully genetic or fully learned, but a combination of both.

Why would gay shyt be the exception?

The human brain is complex and there much we don’t know about it. Just like they say depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain, people didn’t understand. Sadness? Ok just go find something to make you smile and you’ll be over it.

Doesn’t work that way.

Is it really that hard to believe that your brain would be wired differently to determine sexual attraction?

Especially for the folks that were gay back in the day, if you saw how badly they were treating them why would you willingly choose to be a part of that group? To hide and love in secret? I’m sure they would’ve just decided to not be gay then. Therefore, it must not work that way.

 

[Pure Water]

I actually agree with this.

I think you can be born gay which is a mental illness. And you can also be touched pause and turned gay. Just like chicks who get messed with young turn into hoes. The bi curious angle might be true for some (white boys) but not everyone.
