There's no such thing as being born GAY!

Thank you for your quick response. First, I would like any websites or evidence you used to make your arguments. I am assuming you forgot to list them, but you use evidence like "There are not even any GAY primates which are scientifically proven to share 99% of human DNA.", but without any sources. I could say all your argumentation is false, since there is not even one source provided to prove any of your points of argumentation true. However, I will not simply say your evidence is false at this point, since I do want debate to occur. "To say it is genetic or hereditary would mean that we would have to carry that mutation in our DNA. If this were even remotely true then why is it that no other species in all existence carries this gene and mate with other animals of the same sex?" For this first point, I would like to bring up the the hereditary issue. I would like to first point out the question of this debate is not simply of it being all genetic or all hereditary. However, according to the study in The Quarterly Review of Biology, sex-specific epi-marks, which usually do not pass between generations that can lead to homosexuality when they are not abolished and are transferred from the opposite sex parent. Studies in the past have proven that homosexuality runs in families, leading most researchers to surmise genetics are the prominent reason of the preference of a persons sexual orientation. [1] There is not a specific gene of being gay, and there does not have to be in order to prove people are born gay. The epi- mark is the reason why someone is born a homosexual. "If being GAY is hereditary then why in over 99% of all cases of family members of homosexuals which include but are not limited to great uncles and aunts, Great Great Grand parents and ancestors of the past have no history what-so-ever of being GAY?" I would like to answer this question for you. People do not have the history of being gay because it was a new topic, and was simply looked down upon. There was a large disapproval rating. Simply looking at a graph, just looking at gay marriage alone. only about 27% of people approved gay marriage. In 2013, that has significantly rose to over 60%. No families or ancestors were gay because it was not common.[2] Secondly, I would like to cover the comment that no other species carries a gene and mates with other animals of the same sex. However, this is untrue. Behavior of animals toward the same- sex is very common. Taking into account this is not simply a genetic or hereditary debate, animals do have same- sex behaviors. "It's clear that same-sex sexual behavior extends far beyond the well-known examples that dominate both the scientific and popular literature: for example, bonobos, dolphins, penguins and fruit flies," said Nathan Bailey, a researcher at the University of California. [3] In fact, bonobos, who share 98.7% of their DNA with humans have same sex behavior. [4] It is found that nearly 60% of sexual activity is found to be between two or more females; this is considered to be the highest frequency of homosexuality among species where homosexual behavior is known.[5] Since it is a natural behavior, even to close related species, homosexuality is natural and you can be born with it through hereditary and also epi- mark reasons. "When a person suffering with an "ACTUAL" hereditary/genetic mutation that they were born with such as Cystic Fibrosis can wake up one day and decide that they want to be healed and pain free at any given moment like GAY people decide at any given time that they want to be straight..." I find that this argument is deeply flawed, as a disease of the body can not correlate with sexual preference or feelings. I do agree diseases cannot be cured because a person wants to. However, people can make choices. There is nothing wrong with making choices. Even with the evidence today, there is no way to prove someone went from being gay to straight, and was scientifically proven to be a homosexual. You cannot prove that someone decides to be gay and go straight on their own free will. There is no evidence, nor sources that will prove that will be causation. It can or never will be. I cannot prove that someone was actually gay and went willingly straight, nor you can prove that someone was gay and was actually straight. It's impossible, so I will disregard the argument you made. "...GAYS they don't go around throwing parades, participating in sexual and pervasive acts, propagating themselves by wearing rainbow colors, indulging in wild GAY parties, nor will you see them looking like freaks of nature out in public because we all know that people who are BORN with REAL GENETIC CONDITIONS are to busy fighting for there lives in hospitals and medical facilities!" People with diseases promote foundations and organizations to cure diseases. Breast cancer has the symbol of a pink ribbon. However, your personal views are being a homosexual is a condition that needs to be fixed, which is not true. My evidence concludes it is because of the epi- marks and is proven through close related species to humans. Just because it is genetic does not mean it is a terrible condition. I am honestly confused about this statement, as it is degrading towards people who are gay, and I find it extremely disrespectful for putting a stereotype on people who are homosexual to have wild parties and that they are freaks of nature. In fact, you are assuming straight people do not have wild parties and are normal. Truthfully, I find your arguments are on personal opinions, and terrible stereotypes. I would like actual evidence and sources. I have friends who do not believe in gay relationships. I am perfectly content with it. However, you are not open minded, and are not being respectful whatsoever. I would like you to be respectful with your language, and not labeling gays as a terrible thing. Thank you. I am eagerly waiting your reply. 1) http://www.usnews.com... 2)http://www.motherjones.com... 3) http://www.livescience.com... 4) http://news.sciencemag.org... 5) http://www.ansci.wisc.edu...
