Why do you think some people are homosexuals/bisexuals?

By modifying the DNA of fruitflies(just one gene)turning them into albinos,the same gene also turned them into homosexuals.
all albino fruitflies were also gay.

therefore it is mainly a genetic thing.

As the world is not just black or white(eg bi sexuals) and humans are far more complex than fruit flies and genetics could be modified or mutated to intense or weaken homosexual tendencies there will never be one ultimate answer to this question.

The percentage of gay males is almost the same ,no matter which country or race you go to,therefore this seems to be part of our genetic code(the same with animals)and as the nature is not reducing this numbers and keep gays at a constant level it seems not be a defect(a defect would have been eliminated by nature or lowered to minimum eg0.0005% but would never remain steadily at5%)

From what I read it's believed to be because of a variety of factors during pregnancy, not just 1. So if have of the environmental conditions exist in the womb, you're probably still a bit gay, hence this is why there are bisexuals. This would make sense as they are essentially random defects, and thus the percentage of gay people in the population would be pretty random and staggered.

Many beleive it's the way you grew up, some christians even think it's a decision and can be blocked out with enough prayer.

Which is not only completely utterly wrong, but stupid.
The Christians are going by what the bible says, but the Bible was written for another time for another civilization, not for today and doesn't apply today.
For example you should not mix clothing of different fabrics, if a child is disobediant they shall be stoned to death.
But the Christians don't take that as literal today, so why should homosexuality be any different?

Also, as for the cause for people becoming Homosexual/Bi-Sexual etc' it is still unknown and any "thoughts" on what causes it, is contradicted by someone else and so on, the way I look at it...
We all bleed the same colour of blood, who cares if 2 guys are going at in the privacy of their own home? They sure as hell are not hurting anyone.

As for marriage, let them have a civil marriage, most would be happy with that over a traditional religious marriage anyway.

I agree with you about the Bible, a lot of people follow it blindly and really don't understand what's going on in it. You can't follow one section, but not the other. The bible also says women should stay at home and never open their mouths, but christians easily skip over this part. Also the bible never specifically condones Male homosexuality, it condones male prostituion and non martitial sex (but christians won't let gays marry, hence the issue).

The cause for homosexuality is unknown, but the concensus I read is that it's cause biologically. You don't become gay, no tramatic life experience made you gay, and it's not because of some weird sex view that people are gay.

As for who cares? I think in many cultures Gay people are really oppressed. It's not so bad here in Canada, we can talk about stuff like this without creating too much hate (depends on who or where you talk about this). So I think a lot of people who ask this are just sick of seeing gay people opressed.

I'm interested in it because I think of homosexuality and a non harmful defect, but there should be some effort to look for a cure. I want to know how many people think it's a defect too. If it's cause by social environment, then there probably isn't a full proof cure, but if it's because of an error in pregnancy (like too much Vitamin D, or something minor) then it would be good to know so that parents can do what they can to help reduce the odds of having gay children, and thus grandchildren. I think homosexuals should have the option to remain homosexual, or attempt to become heterosexual, and the drugs that are available now to do this have a lot of negative side effects, mainly a low sex drive lol.
