well, christianity is often times i big influence on detinizing ones sexuality. In the bible it never states that homosexuality is a sin, nor does it state that god wont love you for it. Technically homosexuality generally doesnt run in your genes, like i said it is preference. Professionals have tried to do studies, but really there is no profound evidence of why homosexuality happens. its no different from someone liking chocolate icecream over vanilla, it just happens

i here u and i feel that the church dont to tell ppl that if u gay that u will go to hell. the church can believe in what they wont but should still be respect the gay's and stop haten on the gays. thank for r input it really helped

first off, I agree with the fact that it just happens, and that there is no cause. however, there is a (1) part of the bible that speaks out against homosexuality. I do not agree with it, but it is there. (if you want I can find the verse for you)

no problem. and here's what the bible says about homosexuality:
Quote:
"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination" (Leviticus 18:22).


Quote:
"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).


and here is the only bible verse I could find that speaks out about transpeople, and even so its not really very clear on that for sure

Quote:
Deuteronomy 22:5
The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God.


there's a reason that I do not follow christianity. I cannot follow a religion where a supposedly loving god creates a being (me) purely for them to be put to death. Where's the love in that?

Hi
I have a degree in human biology. No, your sexual orientation is NOT in any way form or mean a choice, you can't choose your orientation any more than you can you your eye colour or your height. What is choice is whether you act on it, that's the way in anything. You can just be yourself follow nature and instinct as live as a homosexual. Or because of society and its bigotry you can hide your sexuality, force yourself to go with the opposite sex, live a lie and that's really sad. That's what I did and I regret it every day of my life, I've only just come out this week. When I was young I did want my mother, the church, society et al wanted and expected and I was miserable, on antidepressants, and suicidal for years because of it. Over the past two years I've gradually turned my life around, it reached the point where I HAD to come out or I'd have died trying to carry on living a lie pretending to be someone I'm not and no one in the world knowing the real me. You can play happy families on the outside, live life the way others expect you to but your slowly dying on the inside. Everyone, straight or gay or bi or pink spotted alien dude, has the choice how to live their lives, whether to act on desires, wishes, urges, tastes, needs etc. or to fight them ignore those desires and just do what you think is 'right' instead of what you know is 'you'. The next time someone tells you that being homosexual is a choice then ask them if being straight is a choice. Of course it isn't. The chemical hormones in the brain release an emotional response to certain stimuli, we have no control over that, in gay people that stimuli is people of the same gender in straight people that stimuli is the opposite gender. We don't decide who to be attracted to, we don't choose our hormones! So no, biologically speaking no it is not a choice. The choice we have is whether we hide it or not. I am so sad your friend feels the need to hide her sexual orientation because of the church et al but that is her choice, only she knows if she has the strength to follow her heart or must follow the path of safety and secrecy. Either way I hope she will be happy with her decision and lead a happy life, you will have to let go, step back and let her go her own way, its hard for you to give her up but you know the old cliche - you know you truly love someone if you're willing to let them go. She has to work this out for herself sweetie. x
