A thread to celebrate coming out of the closet. So was everyone born gay or was it a lifestyle choice?

Someone didn't read the OP... that's not quite what this thread is about... :P

But that's not what I'm intending to reply to; I want to address the latter half of your line. And that is, there is no real answer to it. It's basically a "nature vs. nurture" question, and there's too much compelling evidence against either one being the actual answer. If it were 'nature', we should be able to isolate the gene that causes 'gayness.' Yet we can't find one, because there is no gene for it. Conversely, if it were 'nurture', then why is it that we have gay couples raising heterosexual children? It's really not something that can be answered.

However, if you just want individual answers, I might lean a bit more toward the lifestyle choice, as you put it. As a child, I never really was one to play army; house was more my style. Violence was never my thing, organizing was more fun. Then there's the fact that as a guy, I understand guys better. It's not to say that I can't empathize with a woman, but I don't really know what she's going through. The scare of a girl unprepared for her first period... I... really don't know. And those monthly mood swings... I rather not deal with those...
