Was never a choice for me. After hitting puberty the only people that turned me on were men. Then I had intercourse with one and that pretty much confirmed it .

When I ask this I mean on any level.  

Some people believe it's a choice, others that its biological, some people believe it's a mix of nature and nurture.  Like some people believe the absence of a father figure or growing up with no females around like in prison or an all boys school.

I don't get why people are so obsessed with why. Who cares why? It just is.

Wasn't a choice for me, either, being a straight girl.

Personally I care why because I'm not a homosexual and I like to learn about other people's experiences, opinions and general outlook on the topic.  I think all kinds of sexual desires and behavioural patterns are fascinating.

Who else cares?  Well apart from far left liberals or people from the other end of the spectrum (Christians, Muslims other people who mostly seem to not like gay people) who have a vested interest in the subject, I imagine it's of interest to biologists since they would probably wonder how it fits in with evolution.

Well, I'm a far left liberal and not remotely a biologist, and I couldn't care less what may be the root 'cause' for homosexuality.  Which consenting adults fuck each other and why they do it is simply none of my bloody business.

You must lack curiosity about this subject then.

I find myself wondering why we're so obsessed with the "why?" as well.

It's probably many things. I'm gay, I can tell you it's not a choice (well, the sex is, but the attraction I mean) and probably just how my brain is wired up. I don't know anything more than that but I can vouch for it not being a choice.

That said, even if it was totally a choice, that still doesn't justify the gay-bashing. Saying "homosexiality is unnatural" is a non-argument. First off it's victimless, and how many things does every person do every day that isn't natural? You wake up with a man-made roof over your head, drive a car to work and eat shitty processed foods. I can't take the "it's unnatural" argument seriously unless it comes from the mouth of someone living naked out in the forest.

It's not any more complicated than:

And yet acting in a harmless manner in accordance with one's nature is considered sinful in some circles.
