Billboard proclaims "Nobody is born gay"

Anyone have confirmation on this?

Bullshit, that's why I think the argument holds no water. I'm sure that there are more people with bi-sexual inclinations out there then surveys would show, but those who say that everyone is bi-sexual to some degree are basically making the same argument as that billboard.

I can't choose to enjoy a dick sandwich. Maybe some people can choose and others cannot. However if you make the claim that you can choose to be gay, the person who is saying that is implicitly saying that they can choose to enjoy a dick in the mouth. Personally I find it to be gross. I actually find men in general to be kind of gross and obnoxious to boot. I'm happy to be a heterosexual man for sure.

And you would make a very good one also.Wink Shades

This is regarding the same billboard.

Quote:An ex-gay group’s billboard, which claims to feature identical twins with different sexualities, is actually two photos of the same gay man.

Christian anti-gay group Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays and Gays launched a billboard in Richmond, Virginia featuring pictures of two identical men, claiming: “Identical twins. One gay, one not. We believe twins research studies show NOBODY IS BORN GAY”.

However, it turns out that far from being twins, the billboard is actually two pictures of the same man – and he’s gay, and does not even have a twin brother.

Stock image model Kyle Roux – who sat for the photos several years ago – reached out to NBC after seeing the story online.

He said: “I was obviously quite shocked, so that why I decided to send you guys an email saying hey, I’m that guy in that billboard.

“It just seems like there no place in today’s world for an organization that is promoting this as being some kind of deviant or distasteful lifestyle, because I’ve lived my life openly gay and happy for my entire life.”

However, PFOX board member Chris Doyle sees no issue with the ad.

He said: “The issue isn’t the photo on the billboard, but the actual science.

“PFOX supports the rights of everyone who wants to pursue that for themselves.”

LOL.

The irony that there are supposedly all these twins out there who are mixed sexuality (which is somehow proof that NO ONE is born gay), but they can't find one pair to take a picture for their board...
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Hormones is the thing that makes you gay or not during pregnancy.

Yep. Once again: congenital and genetic are not equivalents. But suppose homosexuality developed irrevocably at thirteen due to genetics plus environment, or even just due to environment. Would it change the answer to how we should treat homosexuals? I don't think so.

Nope homosexuals are fine with me. i don't care if they have a different preference at all. its the bigots i have a issue with its like how can you hate another human being for being different? because a book said so? it still doesn't justify hating a person.

for my people are born gay source

I would make a terrible gay person. Other than being in good shape I don't bring much to the gay table: I'm a huge slob, have shitty personal hygiene, don't like to dance, enjoy watching sports, don't wear bright colors, would never shave my pubes or the thing that threatens to become a unibrow more and more every year. I'm like a heterosexual stereotype.

In fact this is partly why I empathize with gay people. I am no more in control of my attributes in the fact that I like my face to be squeezed between my girlfriend's ample bosom than they are about wanting a good ole dick in the mouth. Anybody who says you can choose to be gay should suck a dick so they can prove their point.
