Debate: Can we all agree that gay people do NOT choose to be gay?
Side: It's not a choice.

This assertion does not come from the homosexual community, but rather from those outside of it who lack any kind of knowledge or perspective regarding the thought processes of homosexuals.There is less than zero basis to make the claim, and tons of evidence that suggests exactly the opposite. Near as I can tell, it's an attempt to make a bigoted directive in the Torah seem less bigoted by framing it as a choice.If one must insist that being gay is a choice, I ask them to test it themselves by pulling up some gay/lesbian pornography (depending) and stimulating themselves to it. Let them make the choice temporarily, and 'prove' it to themselves by achieving a climax in this way. They can repent to their God after, but if they are unable (or unwilling) to enjoy something sexual with the non-preferred sex by choice, I consider their stance thoroughly debunked. Even if they ARE able to enjoy it, it hasn't proved that sexuality is a choice, as the individual may well be suppressing certain things about themselves in favor of their agenda.

If it was a choice: are we all born bisexual and then choose to be either straight or gay? Why would anyone choose to be gay, anyway? There is no reason to. Gay people are discriminated against at varying levels around the world, from cyber-bullying to execution.

not many people like being gay. atleast most didn't like it until more people started accepting what they were and became proud of whatever their choices were. i don't think anybody can help liking whatever or whoever they like.

When people say their born gay, they actually mean it. When the person is nothing but a forming egg, the testosterone and estrogen goes into the egg. When the Body is formed those two hormones land in certain places. Guess where they land, the brain. Proving that a lot of people are born gay or lesbian.

There are many gays who were not abused. You make it sound like being gay is a disorder when it is not.

This is not well known or widely believed. And if it were true, then you and your religion are just being bigger jerks than if it is not true. Punish someone for the end result of a horrific childhood event? How do you people even pretend to have compassion?

If Gay people choose to be Gay, then straight people choose to be straight.Why don't all of the "straight" people go experiment to see if it is a choice?If they enjoy Gay sex, then we can conclude that having a gay sexual preference is a choice. If the majority of them don't enjoy it, then we conclude that it isn't.

Sexuality is attraction. One does not actively choose who they do or do not find attractive. Therefore, homosexuals do not choose to be gay. It is incredibly sad how completely and utterly devoid of reason the arguments on the other side are, as they are based on either A. The bible, which has nothing to do with whether or not sexuality is a choice, or B. Pure and utter immature reactions, i.e. "Homosexuality is gross".
Debate: Can we all agree that gay people do NOT choose to be gay?

What about bestiality? Do people who have sex with animals have a choice? Is it immature to think of bestiality as gross? What about pedophilia? Who gets to decide where the line is drawn and where do they draw the line? Just playing devil's advocate ;)
Debate: Can we all agree that gay people do NOT choose to be gay?
Side: It's not a choice.

I wouldn't say that any of them have a choice in the objects of their attraction. I'm certainly not attracted to any dog I've seen, and there is nothing I could do to MAKE myself attracted to a dog. Same deal with a little kid, as far as I know.Homosexuality in and of itself is victimless, though. Pedophilia, not so much. We draw the line when it comes to children because we don't believe children to be capable of making informed consent; the same logic is often applied to bestiality, though admittedly that's far more of a grey area.

How about, necrophilia? I mean, I know there is no consent there but... is there a victim ;)
Debate: Can we all agree that gay people do NOT choose to be gay?
Side: It's not a choice.

Well I highly doubt the body has any complaints, but it could conceivably be a pretty traumatizing event should the "in laws" find out. Even if we decided necrophilia isn't wrong per se, most cases of necrophilia would involve trespassing at the very least!

Some people happen to be attracted to the same sex. That isn't wrong. However, those who are attracted to the same sex are not required to have a relationship with either gender.

"And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works." - Revelation 2:23"If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." Leviticus 20:13"But God struck down some of the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh, putting seventy of them to death because they looked into the ark of the LORD. The people mourned because of the heavy blow the LORD had dealt them."- Samuel 6:19"However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way." Leviticus 25:44-46"Slaves, be subject to your masters with all reverence, not only to those who are good and equitable but also to those who are perverse." 1 Peter 2:18"When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again." Exodus 21: 7-8I don't know why I am even bothering to posts these because I know you will just come up with some ridiculous defense for them.

"If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." Leviticus 20:13Lets go one by oneHomosexuality should be punished by death because it is evil
Debate: Can we all agree that gay people do NOT choose to be gay?
Side: It's not a choice.

"Homosexuality should be punished by death because it is evil"People can have sex with whoever they like as long as they have the other persons consent. You're only objection to homosexuality is that the bible doesn't like it, which isn't a good enough reason for it to be evil. Killing any one is completely unjustifiable with exception of it being in self defense or if it is a punishment for them killing some one.

Incest isn't something that I wold agree with doing but I think it should be legal. People should be able to do what they want as long as it doesn't harm any one else and isn't just your opinion that homosexuality is evil and that people who do it should be killed too?

They are still relevant to this one because your reasoning for homosexuality being wrong is the bible, but I am counteracting that by saying the bible is not a moral book.Stop trying to find excuses of ignoring my arguments.

Need I point out the flaws in this statement..? I will anyway XDIf it means so much to you, could you at lest spell Bible properly, namely, with a capital letter..?!Secondly, and slightly more importantly, why should anyone care what the Bible says on homosexuality..? I mean, it also encourages slavery, are you going say that mankind is wrong then for condemning slavery? Go on then, I challenge you to openly say that, if you're going to take the Bible so literally.

The Bible actually condemns slavery, Exodus 21:16 "He who kidnaps a man and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, shall surely be put to death."However, there are verses where that may seem contradictory.

Okay. Thanks for agreeing with me.
Debate: Can we all agree that gay people do NOT choose to be gay?
Side: It's not a choice.

Well, I don't really agree with you, because there are contradictions. The Bible doesn't say slavery is good, it just mentions slavery... But it also condemns it. You could look at the verses where it mentions slavery and say, "I thought God said that shit wasn't allowed?" and then assume that means that the Bible condones slavery, or you could look at the one verse that specifically says that it is an offense punishable by death.I guess it depends on your interpretation.

Non D'accord, mon cher. I disagree. How is an attraction that people do not choose a sin? Also feel free to explain 2 Samuel 1:26 where the same Hebrew word "ahabah" is used in reference to the love of women and Jonathan's love when David said that Jonathan's love passed the love of women. Same Hebrew word can be used to refer to sexual or romantic love. The odds, mon cher, do not agree with you, and that is just the beginning.

Wow, cool facts. The person you are disputing has a good point. Straight people can get AIDS as well. It's not a homosexual-only disease. HIV began with possibly a homosexual and it spread through the "gay community". It doesn't mean all homosexuals will eventually get AIDS.
