this is just one study dome on the theory. it is valid, and there are references at the bottom you can check if you so desire.

this is a chrisitian website that condemns homoseuxality but still admits there is a gentic factor at work.
there are thousands of websites out there that agree with my beliefs, but i doubt that you will ever take the time to read them since you are so certain that i am wrong. i'm not sure how your "examples" were connected to my supposed mindset, but i'm not concerning myself with that. i have only been speaking from my personal experience with friends and relatives, and i tend to believe them when they say that they wouldn't chose the lifestyle they lead if it wasn't up to them.
this is the last time i am going to respond to you. i just wanted to let you know that. it is obvious that you will not agree with how i feel about the issue (which does not concern me whatsoever), and that you are so convinced you are right that you will not look at real people's lives and draw your basis from such. i am sorry that you feel the way you do. i wish that you would see that my stance on this issue is not preposterous, but unfortunately, even if every scientist in the world wrote an article defending my stance you would not believe it.

I'm sure there are plenty of websites that condem the theory of genetics playing a role in homosexuality as there are plenty that validate it. You can't believe all the stuff you read on the internet, it's kind of like GC- take it with a grain of salt.
I'm not trying to convice you of anything. I have no probelm with you thinking your dad didnt choose to be homosexual, thats all groovy if thats what you believe. But, don't try to convince others at the same time that it's genetic. You were the one who came at me with the "my dads not gay by choice" comments. All I said was that I don't believe in being "born" gay and you got all defensive, maybe it's because you'd feel wierd having a dad who chose penis over vagina....I don't know. Whatever the case is, maybe you've come to this understanding because your dad has implemented that train of thought into your head and you have since backed it up with weak evidence based on studies that have yet to be proven fact within the scientific community as a whole. We started our conversation talking about how same sex parents should not be allowed to adopt and raise children and you've turned this around into a total different debate. I don't know how I let it happen.
And, yes, I do understand where you are coming from. One of my best friends from High School has a gay dad. He found out his dad was gay when we were in 8th grade. Initially he took it pretty rough and got teased a lot. Eventually the teasing stopped and now he gets a long with his dad ok. His dad was married before and had a bad relationship with his mother. They got divorced. He asked his dad, "why Men?" His dad told him it was something he wanted to try, he tried it and liked it. Like my view, his dad doesn't believe in being born gay. His dad said it was spontaneous. Never before had he wanted to be with a man, it just happened and he liked it. Do I think his dad is fucked up in the head? Yes! I can't speak for most men, but being as I've never wanted to be with another man I surely wouldn't allow someone to poke me from behind just to see what it's like. Do I dislike his dad? No! He's very nice and takes care of his two sons.
He's a good father and I think he makes a fine dad. But, thats a scenario somewhat like your dad. Thats not the same as being raised by two men from birth, which is what we were originally talking about!
