Description
"Sexuality is a choice? Okay... So when did you decide to be straight?"Most scientists today agree that sexual orientation is the result of a combination of biological, hormonal, emotional, and environmental factors - meaning that there are many factors that contribute to a person's sexual orientation. Most agree that sexual orientation is not a choice, and it cannot be changed.
Still, some people claim that sexuality is a choice, and that homosexuals and bisexuals are simply choosing to sexually deviate from the 'norm' of heterosexuality.
Why would people choose to be homosexual if they knew that their parents and family would disown them if they knew? This point by ~MinZki !
If sexuality is a choice, then when did you choose to become straight? If sexuality is a choice, why don't you choose to be gay? If it's so simple to change what sex you are sexually attracted to, flip the switch for a day and choose not to be attracted to members of the opposite sex. Only become aroused by members of the same sex. Seriously, do it! I'd like to know how that works out for you.Point is, sexuality is not a choice, no more than our skin color is a choice, or our natural hair color. It's just a part of who we are, and people who claim they can change are just fooling themselves. That's all I've got to say for now on this topic.

I can tell you're struggling in this argument.

That's an interesting claim. How do you know this is true?

Nope.
People these days are too hard-headed to even try to think.

And you appear to be a wonderful example of that behavior.
In the future, if you want your opinion to be worth anything to other people, it would be wise to support your claims with evidence and reasoning. Just saying "X is Y" does not make it so, and it convinces no one.

It's not a choice... Really, it's how your brain is wired. Can't make that a choice, now can we? :I

By saying "sexuality it is not a choice" the stamp does not necessarily mean "sexuality is in your genes".

Exactly. Who the fuck would just chose to be gay anyways when gay people get so much shit for it? You are born gay, or straight, or the rainbow of everything that in between. You have as much control over it as you have control of what color your skin is.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Exactly. This is where people don't understand.
If we could be straight just by WANTING to be, then HELL! We would have with all the crap we go through!
Though not all I guess because of all the happiness n' shit we have with the ones we love~

Yes, the people that think we can just choose are ridiculous. If they really want to understand our pain then why don't they choose to be gay for a while? Of course they can't because they don't want to. I'd never try to force someone to change for my own believes anyways since its sick and showing how unacceptable they are of something new and the real you.

couldn't have said it better myself
If only the ppl who believe in a 'choice' could actually think about what they say instead of just... straight up saying it.
I think that ppl who say that though are actually bi, because for them they can 'change' whenever they want

Technically, your hair colour is MORE changeable than your sexuality.

I was born PanSexual, I don't think I can change that. c:

People don't just wake up one day and decide to be heterosexual/homosexual/etc. Sexual attraction is complex and fluid. There have been people who through their sincere desire have been able to control their attraction to the same sex, even become attracted to the opposite sex. It's not a black and white issue.

Tell me how this contradicts itself. I don't see how it does.

You really need it explained?

They don't contract each other. If you read carefully, you'll see it.
One is saying that people don't choose what sexual attraction they're "born" with. You getting this so far? Okay good.
The next one is saying that some people, through determination, have been able to control that sexual attraction they were "born with". It also says that some people are able to change their sexual attraction.
People are born with sexual attractions. People have been able to change them. They don't contradict.

Oh, but they do.
"People are born with sexual attractions. People have been able to change them. They don't contradict."
That's not exactly what you said before.

My first one was criticizing the camp that says "people choose to be gay". To say that people are "born" with same sex attraction doesn't immediately imply it's set in stone. Anyway, attraction isn't just something you're genetically engineered to at birth, and cannot be controlled altered. It's a lot more fluid and a lot more complex than that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Then why do you state that it *can* be altered by sheer force of will?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My previous comment I made a few typos. I meant to say, "Anyway, attraction isn't just something you're genetically engineered to at birth, and isn't something you can't control or alter.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The second part of that is exactly why being homosexual is a choice. Your birth genitalia make it unnatural.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ugh, no. I clearly state that you don't choose the sexuality you have "at birth" or more accurately around the age when you recognize the sexuality that you have. Then I say that it is possible for you to alter it. What part of this is difficult to understand?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Possibility of alteration includes choice, and your birth genitals make homosexuality unnatural. What part of that is difficult to understand?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
...and your birth genitals make homosexuality unnatural."
I never said same sex attraction was unnatural.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Then why were you implying it's something I said? 
Forget it, lol. You wanna start over or just cya? XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I didn't imply that you said that at all.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I was born PanSexual..
I can't change that.. Nor can I control it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I would say that it is possible to alter it a bit. And you definitely can control it. If by "it" you mean the urge to look at porn of... everything.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
And, um, whatever gave you the idea to even say that?
First off, I have no desire to watch porn of any kind, and even if I did, I'm sure my parents would of killed me by now.
It was really rude of you to assume that..
Do you think every Pansexual, HomoSexual, Bisexual, etc, relationship is all about sex??
I've been dating Ethan for awhile now, and we don't even talk about that stuff.
because, you know, I don't really care for it, and neither does he.
As long as I have him, I'm the happiest girl in the world, I don't need sex, drugs, or any of that stuff. c:

That's good. I don't know much about whatever pansexuality is.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Educate yourself, please.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Why don't you? I could go the rest of my life without knowing the obscurity of pansexuality. I don't really care for it. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm educated enough to know that did not choose my sexuality.
Listen, I'm guessing that you're a Christian, right? So am I.
God loves us for who we are, he's not sending me to hell for my sexuality.
In the Bible, it says that the only thing God cannot forgive, is saying "Goodbye" to him.
