Why do you think some people are homosexuals/bisexuals?

It is not like any opinion though. In politics, for instance, we educate ourselves to form our preferences. When it comes to colors we just have our preferences. Same goes for the matter of which sexes we are attracted to.

So, the point I was trying to make was that:

1 - We don't know the answer to the question in the OP nor to the question that I asked. And discussing the matters won't give us accurate answers. (I mean, we are no scientists, and even they don't know.)

2 - The answers to the questions are equally insignificant in both cases; others' opinions on these matters will not affect our lives. (Unlike things like politics.)

What about homosexuals who wish to be heterosexuals? If you want a family, and want to love women, then why is your body denying you that freedom? Some people might hate yellow, but if Yellow was for whatever reason, the colour people are suppose to like, I'm sure a lot of people would just be okay with it.

Being homosexual isn't the same as likeing a particular type of person. I have my preferences for women, but that doesn't remove larger build, or Indian women from the list of people I could reproduce with and live a happy life with.

So why can many gay people engage in heterosexual activity at all? Not all homo's want to be homo, if you think it was just a matter of preference, why can't these people just go heterosexual?

Homosexuality is something your born with, it's out of your control. It's like schizophrenea, people don't wish to be schizophrenic. Shizophrenic people don't just grow up thinking crazy is right, and it's okay to feed your kids dog food because there isn't poison in dog food. It's a defect, it takes 20 years to kick in, but it's a randomly occuring mutation which 1% the population experiences.

Homosexuality is not opinion. If it were then there would not be gay people who wish they were straight, but there are. Gay people wouldn't go to church to pray their condition gets better, they would just mate with women.

I'm guessing you missed my recent thread on the matter: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=152624&page=1

I am well aware that people don't choose what to be sexually attracted to, which is why I didn't refer to it as "opinion". People don't choose their preferences in some instances, including the matter of your favorite color and which sexes you find sexually attractive. I'm pretty sure you agree with me on all this: You can't force yourself to be sexually attracted to males (assuming you are straight) just like you can't force yourself to change your favorite color.

 

As for your desire to "cure" homosexuality, may I ask: Why? The world is already overpopulated as it is, and I don't see homosexuals harming others more than heterosexual people does. Heck, they even offer a great opportunity to raise orphan kids. I really can't think of one single reason why we should cure this "defect". If you are referring to those who are homosexual but want to be heterosexual, I guess I can kind of understand your reasoning. Because solving that puzzle would benefit everyone, including straight people who would want to be gay.

So, again: Why?

I agree with your other thread, I read the OP, 100% agree.

I however disagree with you on the relationship between the preference to be homosexual, to the preference of colour. My favorite colour used to be blue, and now it's green. Sexual preference doesn't change like that.

As for my wish to cure homosexuality, why not? It's a disorder is it not? Many people will argue it's natural, but rape is natural, does that mean it's good (extreme example here). Erectile disfunction is normal, but like you said we have enough people as it is, why bother curing it?

I think people should have a choice. Many homosexuals wish to be heterosexual, but have issues. If people have a disorder, any disorder, harmful or not, they should have the freedom to cure themselves. If you were born with a deformed femur, and had a limp, would you not want to cure it? Sure you could live with it, but why?

Lol, you already acepted my response. For homosexuals who wish to remain homosexual, I am not insisting that we forcfully cure these people. It's a defect, but hey I bet you that some black people who are born white because of Albinoism, like it that way. This is no different.
