So, first off, a homosexual influence or environment isn't a "normal" environment? That is kind of what I'm getting from your last few sentences.
Second, how is it that bisexuality can be a choice, but homosexuality can not?
Yes, a person may be homosexual, or they may be straight, BUT there have been many and I mean many instances where a homosexual person has gone straight and where straight people have gone homosexual. I believe it all to be in choice. That and nothing more. As for it not being influenced upon us in our childhood, I don't agree with that argument either. In all, it's all in choice. Most of your friends might drink, you might not, because that's a choice you make. Yet, you may have also grown up in a house full of drinkers, alcoholics, etc. Same with smoking, almost everyone in my family smokes, I do not, because it's a choice that I made, which came an environment full of smokers.
Further, until there is proof or statistical data supporting the argurment that homosexuality is a genetical matter, I will disagree with it, and view it as I view it now, an opinionated theory.
It's the world we live in today, many people take on certain things, and may make choices that aren't shown in their near environment. I don't have to be the one to tell you that, look at society today, almost everything we do is influenced by society in some way or somehow, but just because something is present in your/their physical or "normal" environment, doesn't mean you or that person can still make a choice about something.
Now, no, I am not homophobic or anything like that. I view homosexual people as any other person and respect them just as much. These are merely my thoughts and opinions on the argument of homosexuality being based on birth or choice.
