Origins of Homosexuality?

Poll question: Origins of Homosexuality?

[ghostsofgiants]

1. Soy products.

Duh.

[Shell Beau]

2. I don't see why it matters, but I think it is definitely a trait people are

born with. My opinion is why would someone choose to live a certain way that would cause them such heartache in life. I am not gay, but I know it must be hard sometimes to be gay. I think the world has progressed a lot, but it is still a cruel cruel world out there.

3. I'm gay because my dad didn't play enough baseball with me.

Look it up.

[BarenakedLady]

4. ......

:popcorn:

[Deja Q]

6. Popcorn causes it? I thought cupcakes were the culprit!

:rofl:

5. poor choices

something can be inborn without being hereditary.

Much evidence suggests the hormonal environment of the womb has an effect - so a child can be born gay, without it being hereditary.

[Shell Beau]

7. Not sure I follow. What do you mean exactly by poor choices?

Do you mean the things a woman may do while pregnant?

:shrug:










edit: NEvermind. I guess you meant poor poll choices!! Duh!

[JackBeck]

9. I think they are referring to the poll choices. n/t

[Shell Beau]

10. I am slow today! It did just dawn on me!

8. I am guessing the word hereditary was used incorrectly

to describe the "nature" half of the nature vs. nurture argument.

11. My mom let me go see Jodie Foster in "Freaky Friday"

It was all lesbianorama after that.

Jeebus. What an OP.

[JackBeck]

13. I see.

You caught the gay from Jodie Foster.

[LostinVA]

16. Yup, it's ALL her fault

And my mom's, for taking m to the movie.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

14. Well, every lesbian has a crush on Jodie Foster.

[undeterred]

12. Everything about us is due to the intertwined effects of nature and nurture

including homosexuality or any other kind of sexuality.

[otherlander]

15. Animals are homosexual too

But if they're homosexual they won't have kids. So how does it get passed on? :shrug:

[Shell Beau]

17. My male dog only humps my other male dog.

But I have also been told that he is trying to show his dominance! :shrug: I personally think he prefers male dogs! I am only half kidding! :P

[LostinVA]

18. I think they meant to say inborn, instead of hereditary

[Deja Q]

21. Peer pressure and desire to conform

Are two possible facets to this issue, of which there are many. I knew a guy like that once...

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

22. "Peer pressure and desire to conform?" How so?

[Bluebear]

19. Hereditary = inherited. How about a choice for "innate" or something?

This choice implies that it is a trait passed down genetically. Could it not occur naturally otherwise?

[Omphaloskepsis]

20. I stopped pissing into the wind years ago.

I hate doing laundry.

[Deja Q]

25. If you piss in the opposite direction, it'll miss your clothes entirely!

:rofl:

[Deja Q]

23. How about another option: "Why does it matter?"

Is it not how a person behaves rather than what a person is?

[Oeditpus Rex]

24. ''COURSE it's a good idea!'

[Call Me Wesley]

26. Locking.

Polls don't explain the world as it is, unfortunately, or we all would fit into an Excel spreadsheet.



Thank you!
