None at all, you know me. I like to debate, and I tend to respect those who debate against me.

There are more homosexual activities in prison but that doesn't make them homosexuals. 

There are more Christians in U.S.A. then other countries cause I believe many are sucked into it.

I believe environment plays a big role.  I'm not denying that some are born with homosexual orientation and maybe science can prove that soon.  but then if science can prove it, can we altar it if the parents desired it? 

More open the society to a behavior, more people will be (maybe sucked into is not the right word) encouraged to experiment.

Good question. Hopefully genetic engineering won't go too far. Let's hope humanity doesn't end up being a bunch of straight Ken and Barbie clones.

Experimenting is one thing. If you like what you experiment the fact that you like it determines your sexual orientation, not the fact that you did it in the first place.

Fair enough.  Would you say then if a homosexual wants to heterosexual, gets married to a woman and starts a family, he has changed his sexual orientation? 

My wife's boss is gay and he told us that if he had to live his life over, he would have chosen to get get married to a woman - someone like my wife.  Then again, he looked at me and said 'or find a man like me'    haha

Your both kind of right.

It is both genetics and environment that play a role. You will never see something as complex as sexual orientation be decided by a single factor. I'm going to really over simplify this but hopefully I'll get my point across.

There will be a very small number of people born with a genetic predisposition towards being attracted towards the same sex. This does not mean however that the child will be born automatically gay. When it comes to human behavior the only thing that genes can predict are how likely something is to occur, this is not chemistry where you can say A B=C. The environment where the child grows up in is what makes him more or less likely to go towards his/her genetic predisposition. For this reason any knowledgeable geneticist can tell you that we will never find a "gay" gene, because it does not exist. We may find a set of genes that make it more likely for someone to show gay behaviors but just by turning these genes off does not guarantee that you have created a straight individual. There is a reason that a much higher percentage of people raised by gay parents tend to become gay too. Sexual orientation is not a choice, but it can be influenced by your environment, an environment that extends from prenatal exposure to hormones to post birth social interactions.

I have a feeling I just confused people more but in summary your both right, sort of :/

Interesting to note that they have found a gay gene in mice. When a certain gene is turned off in female mice they stop being interested in male mice and are only interested in female mice.

Unborn Baby Lesbians.  Sounds like an 80's horror film.

How could he change his sexual orientation? A person like that would be just a self hating gay guy who married a woman 'cause it was what society/the media/family/religion was telling him to do and he had screwe up notion that that would make him happy. He can pretend to be straight all he wants, but it's more likely that I'll become the queen of England than he'll become straight.

Sexual orientation is determined by whom you find attractive, and whom you desire have sex with (by desire I mean the uncontrolable need to be intimate with a person sexually). You don't have sex with a woman 'cause you wanna be straight. You have sex with a woman 'cause you find her attractive and 'cause of primitive sexual instincts.

Well, sounds more like a joke on his part. If he really is gay, then him marrying a woman wouldn't work. He may be just some guy that had bad experiences with men and somehow thinks that women are better (lol, yeah, at least men can't get pregnant with another guy's baby). Anyways congratulations on being a good catch

I have a challenge for you. Say to yourself tomorrow "from now on I'm gonna be gay". Then go to a gay bar, pick up a guy and see how things go. Please post here on how it all worked out. If you actually turn gay I'll eat my hat. And please note, whatever you do with the guy you have to like it('cause sexual orientation is determined by attraction and desire, it's not just a decision that you make). You can't cheat. No thinking of girls or anything like that. Good luck with that.

Again, some gay people may repress their sexuality. I think gay parents generally create a pretty friendly environment where kids that are gay may not fel pressure to repress their sexuality. Still, you make an interesting point.
