You are right |
AnonyNymous:font=serif][i]Once more a question gets asked about human sexuality as if it's a simple yes or no, but that just isn't neat or tidy like that. Let's flip it a bit. Are people born straight? Are there male babies who were born finding redheads attractive, do some of them pop out of the womb liking anal sex? We as baby animals just don't really have sexual attraction until we hit puberty. It's not until then we know whether a little human will be attracted to a person of the opposite sex, same sex, both or neither or other. Most people who are straight probably presume they were made that way, were born that way - and conveniently, society rewards them for being a member of the sexual and gender majority. Why would it be any different for someone who is gay or bi or trans? If you think about it, if being a member of a sexual minority is not rewarded and little children pretty much almost never see positive role models for same, how would anyone, ever, have made that decision? It just doesn't seem likely, does it? That a child, who has never seen or heard of "gay", who knows no one but their straight parents, suddenly hits puberty and think "Yes! I will risk society's scorn and derision and CHOOSE to be something I have never seen, heard, or know the name of!" And yet, there were Radclyffe Hall and Oscar Wilde and so many others, long before Neil Patrick Harris, RuPaul and Ellen DeGeneres living that life. It just seems so much more...obvious...to presume that human sexuality - about which we know so little - has natural diversity built in, just like every other aspect of humanity, from taste buds to skin shade. We are "born" with whatever we have the potential to be, and then we develop into who we are. 1.8k Views · Q. Are people born gay? -One can know whether homosexuality is genetic or not by studying the identical twins. If one of the identical twins is homosexual and the other is not, one can conclude it is not. -One can also know whether homosexuality is innate or not by studying the identical twins. If one of the identical twins is homosexual since very young and the other is not, one can conclude it is innate but not genetic. -Science cannot explain the nature of homosexuality yet. If homosexuality is due to genetic, science has already proved it. If homosexuality is due to environment, science has already proved it. If homosexuality is not due to genetic, not due to environment, and some or most of them are feel since young (born that way, innate), what is the explanation? -According to philosophy of Theravada Buddhism, a person may be reborn as lower living things, higher living things or as human beings as long as he/she is not liberated from cycles of life. If a person was born as woman (for only one time or many times) in past and that person is delighted by being femaleness and delighted in bonding with opposite sex (man), and if that person becomes a man in present life, that person will want to become a woman and want to be in love with a man in present life. -Similarly, if a person was born as a man (for only one time or many times) in past and that person is delighted by being maleness and delighted in bonding with opposite sex (woman), and if that person becomes a woman in present life, that person will want to become a man and want to be in love with a woman in present life. -Is that kind of philosophy true? As long as Science cannot explain the nature of homosexuality, one should not discard every theory. - References · -Opposite sex attracts each other. 1.Monks, I do not know of any form that takes hold of a man’s mind like the form of a woman.

During those lifetimes, one cannot choose which life he/she wants to live (human lifeforms, or other higher lifeforms or lower lifeforms), which environment he/she wants to be born, which sex he/she wants to be, etc. All things happen according to one's Kamma. - “……… beings are owners of kamma, heir to kamma, born of kamma, related through kamma, and have kamma as their arbitrator. Kamma is what creates distinctions among beings in terms of coarseness & refinement." From - -Someone cannot transcend from opposite sex form of previous lifetime The Lord Buddha said: "A woman attends inwardly to her feminine faculties, her feminine gestures, her feminine manners, feminine poise, feminine desires, feminine voice, feminine charms. She is excited by that, delighted by that. Being excited & delighted by that, she attends outwardly to masculine faculties, masculine gestures, masculine manners, masculine poise, masculine desires, masculine voices, masculine charms. She is excited by that, delighted by that. Being excited & delighted by that, she wants to be bonded to what is outside her, wants whatever pleasure & happiness that arise based on that bond. Delighting, caught up in her femininity, a woman goes into bondage with reference to men. This is how a woman does not transcend her femininity. "A man attends inwardly to his masculine faculties, masculine gestures, masculine manners, masculine poise, masculine desires, masculine voice, masculine charms. He is excited by that, delighted by that. Being excited & delighted by that, he attends outwardly to feminine faculties, feminine gestures, feminine manners, feminine poise, feminine desires, feminine voices, feminine charms. He is excited by that, delighted by that. Being excited & delighted by that, he wants to be bonded to what is outside him, wants whatever pleasure & happiness that arise based on that bond. Delighting, caught up in his masculinity, a man goes into bondage with reference to women. This is how a man does not transcend his masculinity. From - Mind precedes all mental states. Mind is their chief; they are all mind-wrought. From 100 Views Originally Answered: Are people born gay or is it a product of the environment? Yes. The answer is yes, even though it’s not a yes or no question. I reason by analogy, so an apt analogy here is lotus feet. Here they are . People are generally born with feet, though some aren’t. The people who are born with feet can grow feet in various lengths, as evidenced by the existence of multiple adult shoes sizes. When someone talks about trauma and gay and nature vs nurture in the same thought, they should think about lotus feet. The woman’s feet were going to grow bigger than is socially acceptable. So rather than change what is socially acceptable to fit the reality of normal human variation, they broke her feet and shoved them into a shoe. The basic gist of it is that there is a gene which is inherited along the female line, which, if present in females, leads to increased fertility, so it is an advantage to reproduction. So women with the gene will, on average, have more children. If a male inherits the gene from their mother, he will have a tendency to be attracted to males, or a dominant female, or somewhere in that spectrum. The fact that he may not have children is irrelevant, since there are plenty of males more than willing to impregnate excess willing females. That is why it has not died out or been selected out by evolution. Women having more children is an enormous advantage. Some men not having children is not a disadvantage. This is not an article in isolation. There are many similar published articles. Go to Pubmed or other scientific database more more. Use inheritence of homosexuality as a search term. The environment that they live in will play a role as to how much they live overtly as a gay person, not whether they are gay or not. That is, how and when, if ever, they come out of the closet. Science says there are no such thing as absolutely “hetero” or “homo” sexual people. All of us are only juggling between our dominant traits. Are you socially identify as straight? That means you are more than 50% heterosexual and less than 50% homosexual. Were we always born this way? Yes and No. I know it is not popular, but people only pick inconvenient truths that suits their agenda. Only political people will provide absolute “yes” or “no” answer to give stronger argument to their cause. Our hormones and the development of our brains determine how we will end up throughout our life. This lead to some early homophobes to experiment with hormonal therapy to “cure homosexuality”, which only damages their “patient” further. Some people are simply born with certain condition that leads them to have homosexual preference, which may change over time. Some are the otherwise, started as straight guy, and then suddenly “come out” as gay during later years. My friend who were convinced that he was straight, turned out later to be gay. He has dated so many girls, but can’t settle on one, until he found his man. I asked him if he was too shy or facing any social pressure to hide his sexuality? He just said simply said no, and he said that he was just confused. I asked him, if he knew that there are many gay people already, would it make him feel better? He just said no, he simply changed after puberty, that’s all. So yeah, they were not always born to be straight either. Now, for political purpose, if you say “yes”, think again. Some questions also asked why there are not so many people born to be gay, is it just because of deviation in our genetics that affects small number of people or what? The answer will pretty much hurt anyone’s self-esteem. So, please go back to real science. Some people do born that way and stayed consistent throughout their whole life, some people simply don’t, and they change. The gene that makes people born with lack of melanin that cause their skin to appear pinkish (people love to call it “white”) is also recessive too, and less than 25% of the world population are born with it. Yet, some of them are immensely proud of it and push the idea that they are actually superior. I think this shouldn’t be about whether you are born with it or not. The real question is, why bother? It is everyone’s own personal life, not mine or yours. We should punish sexual offenders, but not one’s sexual orientation. I honestly can’t think why people are still bothered by this. There are people out there doing things like trafficking humans, making snuff films, enslaving other humans, committing animal cruelty, destroying pristine environment, and so on, which should bother us. People loving each other should not be a problem at all, it is actually good for them. Are all of us bisexual then? That also depends. But cases like sodomy in prison between male inmates, despite being not gay shows that our sexuality orientation is actually very fluid and compromising. |
Drinokrane:Nigerians sha |
AnonyNymous:No one is born gay, every behaviour is learnt. |
Good for him. |
This is sad, horrible way to die. |
jazzyjazz:it's not yet on bluray |
adoyi8:seriously, I value it more than those ancient scrolls. From google, to quota to YouTube. There's tons of information. In this age of information, ignorance is a choice for those who have chosen to remain dogmatic and abandon reason. |
ScienceWatch:okay |
ScienceWatch:I won't descend to your level of insults just to make a point, Mr. Spiritual. What do I know anyway? There are really many spiritual happenings we can't understand, people with amputated limbs have been cured spiritually, a person has been saved from 250 in plane crashes many times through grace and spiritual interventions. I guess everyone in the world should abandon their intellect and resort to even the weakest spiritual entities of yours to solve their problems. |
ScienceWatch:so sleep paralysis is demonic in nature? Smh. I used to have it, many people experience this condition for different reasons. Some it's hereditary, some stressful lifestyles, for some it comes and goes. Mine was corrected by maintaining a regular sleep pattern, nothing more. So the other guy can keep lying to himself all he wants, but there's nothing spiritual about it. |
Riofidelio:Right on, a religious person reads one book no better than other books on mythology and assumes he knows all. A scientist reads dozens of books and still knows there's a lot to be known. It takes a strong will for knowledge and rationality to abandon religion. But still, I don't blame most religious people, the fear of hell for one, and then a promise of a place where the river flows with milk and wine, where there is no more sadness, despair, fear or any negative emotions and humans will be inacapable of bad thoughts. Stories children should even be flogged for if they believe in them, are why some people really practise it.The dream of an eutopia, which we can even try to achieve here on earth with secular morality which trumps religion morality. |
johnydon22:A clear case of cognitive dissonance. He's always trying to appear intelligent with his posts. They are always off the point truly. I only mentioned him once, hoping for a reasonable argument, his reply really summed up his mental state for me back then. I have learnt to ignore him since. |
pacino26:Great advice. Reminds me of the time nairalanders answer questions like quora guys. Sensible reply like this is hard to find on the front page of most threads these days. |
Lol...stress perhaps, it happens. But you have got to satisfy your wife. |
Jamariwolff:It won't last babe, trust me. It's university, you're still gonna meet people and you will get over him. We crush on people and yet sometime later in life, we wonder how we ever did. |
johnydon22:lol ...the guy takes himself real serious. Like his opinion must trump others. Never gonna let you have the last words on argument. |
RuthlessLeader:Brilliantly said |
2nqey:baba, how far na

He's beautiful than some ladies even. |
The tech world is rapidly evolving. [color=#F5A215]Guess HTC couldn't handle the competition[/color] |

I can't eat anything that has the shape of a lizard, I'll pass. It irritates me. [color=#F5A215]That goes for frogs and others. Ugghh[/color] |

You should go see a dermatologist |
frank317:And even one more question for believers too. Since christianity and islam spread to Africa, it wasnt ours to begin with. Would all our ancestors that died before religion spread to Africa all go to hell? |
