Sexuality is a choice

My opponent seems to be having computer issues thus couldn't post sources. I'll accept this and move onto my rebuttals. My opponent mentions that his friend has a much closer relationship with the female figures in her life and that studies have been done stating that in cases like this many females end up lesbian. While that may be true in some case it's not entirely accurate. To give my own personal example I was never very close to my father yet I'm not a lesbian. Also, my lesbian friend has a strong relationship with both her parents. There's many similar cases to this so isn't it a bit unfair to conclude that homosexuality stems from poor paternal relationships? On my opponent's second point, the study could very well be biased since even among the academic world there's differences in data and anybody can publish whatever they want from whoever they want so my original point there still stands. Logically a Christian would publish different data than a LGBT activism group would. As for the points about Isay and Freud, yes homosexuality was demonized in their time but wouldn't that just be cause to live a heterosexual lifestyle? Despite being a work of fiction I'll use the movie "Brokeback Mountain" as an example. As most people know it's a story about two homosexual cowboys who remain secretive about their love for each other due to social taboos. They even live heterosexual lives with women despite their love for each other. *Note: I have not actually seen the movie but I do know the basis of the plot.* Freud could have very well lived in a similar way, which is something we wouldn't know for sure unless we knew his innermost thoughts. I will like to say that I did indeed answer my opponent's question about God last round unless there was something I misunderstood? I'll give my opponent a chance next round to clarify on this. Also, no I think most homosexuals would be offended by their sexuality being called a mental disorder if that is what he's asking. Homosexuality was indeed listed as a mental disorder until 1975 when enough conflicting evidence was found against this. A disorder is generally defined as a condition that impairs a person. http://dictionary.reference.com... Homosexuality hasn't shown any evidence of doing so except that homosexuals are more likely to contract cetain STD's but that is found to likely be due to their differences in intercourse rather than homosexuality itself. http://www.science20.com...I'm not really sure which kind of point my opponent was trying to make when mentioning the effect of societal and environmental factors on people "coming out". I'll give him a chance to clarify that as well. It is true that Lady Gaga's hit song mostly discusses homosexuality, but as I said isn't it true they're the ones currently fighting for recognition? Most revolutionary movements do include inspirational music. Racism isn't nearly as much of a problem in America now as it was previously thus that could be a factor why Lady Gaga chooses not to touch on it. Lastly, my opponent makes the point that one wouldn't change their sexuality due to being bullied if it makes them happy. However, if one is being bullied are they truly happy? Probably not so that's a moot point. Good luck in the final round. :)
