[quote="TheLionPrince"]I have discussed my opinion on gay marriage in other threads on this forum. So, read the "Election Day 2012" thread for my opinion on the topic.
But, may I ask: Are people born "gay"? Isn't it a choice? Has the "gay" gene ever been found yet?[/quote]
No, people choose to be gay in order to be persecuted and denied freedom by people like you. They want it, they love being oppressed and persecuted.
Homosexuality is a biological phenomenon.
First, twin studies. Recent studies have found that when one identical twin is gay, there is a 52 percent chance the other is also gay; if one fraternal twin is gay, the probability the other twin is gay drops to 22 percent; and if one separate-birth sibling is gay, there is only a 6 percent to 10 percent chance another sibling will be gay. This indicates both heritability and that something environmental (probably hormone levels in utero) is at play. This is reinforced by the fact that more recent studies have indicated that when identical twins share an amniotic sack, they nearly always have the same orientation, gay or straight.
Look also at studies on fraternal birth order. Ray Blanchard and colleagues discovered accidentally that each time a woman gives birth to a son, the chance that the boy will be gay increases by about 30 percent. Older sisters do not affect the probability, only older brothers. Blanchard argues that this indicates an immunoresponse by the mother to the presence of a male child.
There are also studies that have shown differences in finger length between heterosexuals and homosexuals. The results of these studies have been verified and reproduced.
Sexuality is about as much a “choice” as handedness is.
Now, where is your evidence? And please don't say the bible or any religious website
Fact is: There is NO scientifical evidence that being gay is a choice
[quote="WildSimba"]Do you have a choice that you're straight? Is there some sort of straight gene that needs to be found?[/quote]
The perfect counter argument. Well thought!
