Being gay is not a choice

Rebuttals: "1)" "The line between bravery and stupidity is so thin that you don't know you crossed it until you're dead."-Unknown. This is true in this case as well. Using the Uganda example, a gay person would come out and face the consequences out of bravery. They wish for a better future so they march, so they rebel the same way black people did for their rights. See the difference between them and a "fake homosexual" let's call them, is that they don't have a cause. They are doing it for the better of humanity or themselves they are doing it for who know why. Maybe thrill. It's not my position to explain because you're the one who believes it. "2)" True, I apologize for not clarifying. I was speaking of the Uganda example again. In other places such as the US, you might just get treated differently. People don't want to leave their children around you, you are called homophobic slur now the vice president wishes to implant conversion therapy camps. Maybe it will get worse there. "3)" Except there still would be an abnormality noticed when examining gay people such as a tendency to do more dangerous activities or having the urge to be harmed or killed. It is true that homosexuals are more prone to depression and anxiety, but those are environmental influences, being disowned by their families, being bullied or discriminated, but if all gay people had Stockholm's syndrome, ASPD, were all masochists or just a completely different mental illness all together, someone would have figured it out by now. Now to your rebuttal of my response of your question Notice my use of the term "on multiple occasions?" Multiple occasions not just the one time and realize that you don't like it. Chances are if you have sex with a member of the same sex more than once then you are gay or at least bi. It is also true that a heterosexual who would have sex with someone of the same sex would not get immediately aroused. They would need some sort of stimulation. I don't want to get into the nitty gritty for fear that it will be blocked, but let's just say stroking is involved. It's more physical then it is mental. New Arguments Significant evidence of a gay gene Though it is correct that there is no solid evidence of a gay gene YET, there are many studies that show that there is a good chance that there is one. The study in Diversity in Human Sexuality has related male homosexuality to a specific region of the X chromosome[2]. In the future I am hopeful they will do the same for females, but most research is targeted for males. There is also evidence that it happens in the womb meaning it could not possibly be a choice unless you think fetuses choose to be gay[2]. Homosexuality is present in the subconscious If a person were to choose to be gay they would only feel that in their conscious mind. They would choose to want to hold a member of the same sex's hand or kiss them, but the subconscious activity would not be present. You do not choose what's in your subconscious, it controls you in a sense. That's what creates the feelings of longing when they are gone and feelings of love in which oxytocin is released[1]. Chromosome Xq28 This is a "gay gene". I use quotes because it is not set in stone, but their is proof that it does have a significant influence in male homosexuality[3]. It is present in about 90% of homosexual brothers. Conclusion 1)There is significant evidence that there is a gay gene meaning gay people do not choose their sexual orientation. 2)ALL gay people can't be illogical and make the decision to be gay, the ones that do are not gay they are straight. 3)Significant evidence has yet to be found that homosexuality is a choice.
