I never thought I had any choice in it but this thread made me step out of the box for a minute and look at it from a different perspective. And in any case I'm only referring to what you choose to concentrate on, not your underlying attractions. I could pick up a straight porn mag and focus on that, do it for a few months and I might find myself identifying more as straight. That's all I'm saying. It's all in my post if anyone will read it properly.

How do I put this in a way that's understandable to you people...
Google "Manuel Uribe". Now try to feel attracted to him before he lost weight. "Focus on that". See if it works.

Me people? What people. I am gay. I'm happy to be gay. I'm not going to change for anyone, not for religion, not for peer pressure, not for anything. I'm just saying how I believe it develops.

I am calling bullshit due to your contextual usage of the word wrong .

Also, just as you have a right to your opinion, anyone has the right to state how retarded that opinion is.  Opinions are not above reproach, after all.

The question is whether or not sexual orientation is innate.   Its an open question of science and the fact that you've "never heard such bullshit" doesn't suggest that is not true.  The fact that you've "never heard such bullshit" only suggests you're not well read.

I bet you never met a gay person in your whole life, cause if you did, you might have just talked to them instead of letting your ass do the talking about things you clearly don't understand and don't want to understand.

I've hired lots of gays to work for me.  I hired this one gay guy and he kept recommending different people to me who I went on to hire. It wasn't long before I had a buttload of gays working for me.
Now lets go on to what I am saying.  A lot of people would accept these premises.
Premise 1: Homosexual behavior is unnatural and immoral.
Premise 2: Gays choose to engage in homosexual behavior.
Conclusion: Gays make a willful choice to engage in immoral behavior.
So when someone says, "Being gay is a choice" they probably do not mean, "being attracted to the same sex is a choice".  What they probably mean is being gay means you have chosen to engage in immoral behavior.  The same people who claim being gay is a choice would probably also conclude that being a fornicator is a choice.

And I told you that's not how it works, offering myself as an example. I have homosexual friends who share a story similar to mine. Yet you keep trying to push the same demonstrably false PoV. Hence, troll or poe.

But that's what you get when atheists read the bible because they're just looking for loopholes to justify their basest desires.
