Since this topic hasn't been popping up much, and since the old threads are all so cluttered up, I took the liberty of creating this new one.

So yes, someone asked me for sources about my claims that 1500 species of animals practice homosexual behaviour? Here.


Source 1

Source 2

Now on to one of the sub questions. Is it natural? Well, someone mentioned that it wasn't natural only for humans. Now, why this discrimination? If the Gods of various religions keep throwing and creating people who are homosexual, either a) They're bad factory operators or b) Something is fishy with whatever anti-gay talk religious conservatives swear is sacred.

This site is rated 13 years and older. If a 5 year old is on it, they shouldn't be.

On another note, could you PLEASE speak with at least a little more grammar?

I'm not nice for pointing out that you misunderstood a post? That's a first.

am i correct?


No, I disagree, and a lot of people on this site will disagree as well, if my ego allows me a moment of self-praise.

In a bid to carry on fruitful discussion, here's a post from a few page back that everyone ignored.

I find it much more immoral to say that people should be put down just because they are born with different genes. How would people who are anti-gay feel if they said the same things towards people with down-syndrome for example? Because that is essentially what they are doing. All people deserve simple rights, and marriage is one, I don't see how a bible, which is story and lore can have so much influence. It's sad.


My question, if anyone can answer it properly, is, ''Is homosexuality more a choice, or genetics, or both?''.

I would have to assume myself that it is "Both". Do to the fact that most of things about humans can be lead to genetics, and I would assume the differences would have a cause, but that wouldn't explain places like ancient Greece, where it sure sounds like everyone was pretty much homosexual. The fact that they Greeks are still around today would show that it wasn't total, it was, however, significant part of their culture and would lead me to believe that it may not be purely genetics.

''Is homosexuality more a choice, or genetics, or both?''.


I'm pretty sure that liking, and having affectionate feelings for someone is not a choice. I wish it was, but it isn't. I, mean I'd like to actually meet a person who can make themselves love someone else at will. Because last I checked, you develop feelings for someone unintentionally. Homosexuals develop their feelings for those of the same gender unintentionally too. Who they love, or what they like is not a choice. And if it was, who would choose it? "Yay! I get to go to school and hide who I am!" or "Yay! More bullying for being gay! Isn't life great?!"

Hell bent on what? Subject on what?

It was just a post I found that's interesting, nothing more to it.


Thank you 314, for making the second valid post of the day here. And yes I would tend to agree, society does play a large part in ''sanctioning'' the act, leading to a propagation of it, and that fundamentally for some, they are wired with the genes.

Anyway, nice article on the hunt for the gay gene.

Grammar nazi decoding... Give me a minute... "It would have to be a choice if we evolved then we would have a ... (that word just makes no sense) sense to reproduce and that's just not possible if you are a homosexual now is it." I'll let you guys do this one.

If I understand you correctly, I would have to say know. We evolved to reproduce sexually, yes, in the same way we evolved to have an intact spine, but birth defects show that birth isn't exactly perfect and can lead to some differentiation from the norm. Do you think Steven Hawking made a choice to be paralyzed?

It's not that we don't know slang. It's just incredibly annoying to read. Also, homosexuality is a benefit to our species. We don't need as many people as we have in some societies, and having people who can't have kids (even though they can) is beneficial.
