Some people do actually choose to be gay?

Debate Information

No, I am NOT saying homosexuality is a choice. This needs to be made clear before someone starts accusing me of that position. But is it a plausible notion that at times some people will choose a gay lifestyle?

    True, but what about sexual acts or identifying oneself as gay?

    LGBTQ IS a CHOICE. No one is born queer...it is an act of the will to surrender to aberrant desire. God does NOT create homosexuals or lesbians...they choose to rebel against God and Nature.

    Unless you have an argument that doesn't either appeal to Faith, God or Heaven then we have nothing to discus @RickeyD

    What evidence can you provide, that which consenting adults are attracted to other adults, is a choice? You have failed to prove your claim.

  • Well, this debate went off a tangent quickly. It's not even exactly about orientation. Some heterosexuals will at times choose a gay lifestyle. This behavior is also seen in other animal species such as certain chimps.

    Correct. I was going to make my point but I wanted to deal with our pest first who still can't make a basic logical argument.

    Sexual orientation is not a choice, but the choice to engage in any type of sex is a choice. A heterosexual/homosexual/whateversexual may engage in any type of sex, nothing is stopping them. However, psychologically they will prefer a certain type of sex with a certain sex.

    Through gritted teeth and sheer will, you can have sex with anybody, BUT
    The psychological preference (sexuality) is not a choice.

    And yes, the behavior is seen across thousands of species so the natural argument against it is thrown out the window

    So you cannot back up your claim, with a psychological study? if you say that sexual attraction isa choice, the burden of proof is on you, because you made the positive claim.

    Again, ad nauseam...Please listen....  A man or woman who lives by God's law of Nature as infused in The Genesis and reiterated in the Gospel of Mark has NO NEED to "choose" natural attraction via obedience, human physiology, human natural psychology...human sexuality is naturally manifest between male and female. It is the lesbian, the homosexual, that must "choose" to defy and defile Nature and rebel against God's Covenant of Marriage. Sexual immorality is a "choice"...because it defies the Law of Nature.

    That does not prove that people choose, who they are attracted to, so i will ask again: Can you or can you not prove, that you chose to be straight? If so, prove it, by having sex with a man.

    I am not sure what you mean by "gay lifestyle". What is principally different in lives of gays that warrants classifying it as a different lifestyle than that of non-gays? The only difference is people they are attracted to, but that is a very minimal difference. You would not call someone who is attracted to Asian people having an "Asian-sexual lifestyle" or something along these lines, would you?

    I am assuming that what you really meant was this: "Do some gays choose to partake in homosexual relations?" The answer is, "Of course". In principle, nothing forbids a gay from enrolling in a heterosexual relationship, and nothing forbids a straight person from enrolling in a homosexual relationship. In practice, few will make such choices. One of my friends is a rare exception, in that she is homosexual, but is in a relationship with a guy.

    As a hypothetical illustration, I am heterosexual, but if, say, someone paid me a billion dollars to spend a month in a relationship with a guy, I would not hesitate for a moment (I would actually be quite interested to try it out, although I do not see myself enjoying it too much). Pretty sure most people would do the same, despite what they might claim in public.
