Homosexuality is a Choice.

It is true what my opponent says about people saying that they're gay for attention, but that does not mean that they actually are, and were not able to choose to have an attraction to people of the same gender. " My opponent has agreed here that people turn gay for attention, this therefore means that he also believes that people do choose to be homosexual, going against what he's supposed to be debating. 2) "Homosexuality is not a germ at all, in fact is it genetic" I am quite aware of this, but I could not think of the word, that I can now, so I stated "So to speak" after the words. I am well aware that it is genetic, and not a germ. 3) "While my opponent has his example of Ricky Martin, my point in this debate is that the state of being homosexual, meaning the physical attraction and not the lifestyle, or love life, is what I'm arguing for" That is exactly why I brought it up. Ricky Martin is a living example of having the choice to be straight. He chose to be straight for so long, and therefore this living proof should get PRO the win. 4) "People can not make a choice to be homosexual or not. It is a biological occurrence and is not a choice that people can make. " This is not true at all. Answer me this con. Why is it that we have so many people that choose to be homosexual, when they aren't really? We can all choose what we can be, not just because you are homo means you have to be that way. You may deny it, and go with the flow, as happens so long. And I quote Ann Landers and a website (last one shown in my sources list) Ann Landers said it, and millions of people believe it. The problem is, the data's not there to support it. There are three ways to test for inborn traits: twin studies, brain dissections, and gene "linkage" studies. (6) Twin studies show that something other than genetics must account for homosexuality, because nearly half of the identical twin studied didn't have the same sexual preference. If homosexuality were inherited, identical twins should either be both straight or both gay. Besides, none of the twin studies have been replicated, and other twin studies have produced completely different results. (7) Dr. Simon LeVay's famous study on the brains of dead subjects yielded questionable results regarding its accuracy. He wasn't sure of the sexual orientation of the people in the study, and Dr. LeVay even admits he doesn't know if the changes in the brain structures were the cause *of* homosexuality, or caused *by* homosexuality. (8) Finally, an early study attempting to show a link between homosexuality and the X- chromosome has yet to be replicated, and a second study actually contradicted the findings of the first. (9) Even if homosexuality were someday proven to be genetically related, *inborn* does not necessarily mean *normal*. Some children are born with cystic fibrosis, but that doesn't make it a normal condition. This should prove that the PRO should win this debat ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTACKS. My opponent did not defend his case, therefore please cross-supply my attacks to his case in the first round. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- . http://www.mentalhelp.net... . http://www.suite101.com... . http://www.religioustolerance.org... . http://lesbianlife.about.com... . http://www.dosomething.org... . http://www.leaderu.com...;
