I have my opinions on the subject, which for the most part, have been repeated here. I do have a couple of questions I'd like to pose in order to further the debate.
1) If it was a choice, who would choose to be that different? Gays get unholy grief in our society. So whats behind Door #3.
2) I can only speak of the people I know and in my circle of friends, but I dont know anyone who is gregarious enough to do it for attention. Would you do that with you mouth for attention? I wouldnt. Maybe there are those people out there tho.
3) Since I am assuming that none of us are speaking from first hand experience, and none of us are involved in scientific research it is all theoretical to us.
I just find the whole sexual orientation thing so gossipy. Its always about suspecting soemone. We have a brother in the undergrad chapter who many suspect and weither he is or isnt, I feel so bad because some people are always talking about it behind his back (a few brothers, and others on campus). Can you imagine his life? What he has to go through on a daily basis. I dotnt think I could handle that.
One statistic tho: As I learned in my Human Sexuality class. If there is a gay child (15-50 years old) in a family, there is a 60% chance that another same-gender child in the same family will be gay as well. I cite the specific study if need be. I just forgot to bring my Human Sexuality Text to work today. Sorry.
(I didnt read shultzz' post it was removed befor I read it, so I cant comment on it, BUT I am proud of all of us on here that everyone seems to be accepting of diversity. Thats a good thing.)
