ERTHAENIGMA: nobody was born gay. Same way nobody was born a racist,or a christian,or an athesist. When you're born,your mind is a 'tabula raza' (a clean slate) . No knowledge is innate. We pick this things up as we grow. Those that say they were born gay are living in a state of denial to protect themselves from public backlash and discrimination
Good answer.

Lordabas: No one is born gay. God does not create abominations. God creates in perfection. Homosexuality is a sexual PREFERENCE. Preference means that they prefer to have sex with members of the same sex, as opposed to members of the opposite sex. A preference is a choice. Plain and simple. They claim to be born that way because it frees them from having to take the responsibility for being what they are.

Homosexual behavior in animals is sexual
behavior among non-human species that is
interpreted as homosexual or bisexual. This
may include sexual activity , courtship,
affection , pair bonding , and parenting among
same-sex animal pairs. Research indicates
that various forms of this are found throughout
the animal kingdom. [1][2] As of 1999, nearly
1,500 species , ranging from primates to gut
worms , have been observed engaging in same-
sex behaviors; this is well documented in
about 500 species. [3][4]
According to Bruce Bagemihl , "the animal
kingdom [does] it with much greater sexual
diversity – including homosexual, bisexual and
nonreproductive sex – than the scientific
community and society at large have
previously been willing to accept."

And if mere animals that cant control their conscious thoughts can be gay, what more human beings?
Yes, people can be born gay. which is why the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was pointless and a waste of human lives.

last time i checked,humans were higher animals with an revolutionary sense of thinking and massive amounts of brain power when compared to our cousin primates.
With this you'd think we would be able to apply our intellect to foster the movement for the greater good of man. And here we are,acting with our pre-homo habilis sense of reasoning. You say animals are gay(which i disagree with but for the benefit of doubt),but they still know that they have to mate with a female counterpart to reproduce. The natural order is male + female= offspring. Anything else is out of context. When you were two or three,you could play with a 3yr old girl's vagina and nothing would happen. Why? Because you know nothing. The urge to mate is imbibed in us. When nurtured in the right way,you 'develope ' (key word is develope) feelings for females. When nurtured wrongly,you get gays. It's simple as abc

and if you do your research well you'll discover most of this animals posses both male and female reproductive organs. So technically,it can't be discussed under the same parameters as the gay issue of humans

Nobody is born gay.

Romans 1:18-32,
vs 26: For this cause God gave them up onto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature;
vs 27: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one towards another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of error which was meet.

Also 1 Corinthians 6:9
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kin.gdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor ABUSERS OF THEMSELVES WITH MANKIND.

Naturally nobody is born gay. Eternal judgment is coming on all gays,except they repent and give their lives to Christ Jesus. Not only gays but all sinners.
I pray the Lord give you understanding. of this message in Jesus name. Amen.

Homosexuality is simply a thing of the mind. Its just how a particualar sex programmes things to be.

Was a baby born knowing how to act transgendered? The answer is no,certain factors bring about the influx of gayism or lesbianism.

Boland: Hey bro, if you must know, it concerns us... I will like to point out somethings here.... Laws and rules make Humans different from animals (that can do whatever they pleases), so if you think another person's welfare/existence/sexuality doesn't concern you, you must be kidding. In some ways other people's choices and actions affect us, even if not us it might affect our offsprings.. I think gays need counseling. With that maybe some might change.
Trust me, I know all about the role of Law in the society. Even, lawyers are conflicted about the role of law in private lives. It's known as the eternal war of Personal Liberty v Public Morality. Before 1967, the law had it that homosexual intercourse in The UK was a crime as was in Shaw v DPP. But after 1967, sex between consenting male adults wasn't a crime anymore. Moreover, one legal jurist once said, inter alia, if one refrains from hurting others, he is at liberty to act they way he sees fit concerning himself.

No matter how many times you say it, it doesn't eventually become true. People don't choose to be straight, do they? What makes you think gay people do choose?

So you are saying that we have gays in our society today because of parents who failed to nurture their children in the right way?

Bring words from the scriptures let's go through and analyze them together.
No knowledge is a waste whether I believe or not.
What matters is keeping an open mind.

Re: Are People Really Born Gay? by Kirinwa: 12:24pm On Dec 27, 2014
I've seen a guy crying to me and his inner circle that he's gay but doesn't want to be. He's neva had gay sex though but he feels attracted to men and that made him socially crooked. And it pains him! It really does. He was like seriously crying that he doesn't want to be gay but he's gay. So I would say people don't choose their sexuality.
And the nigga that said God doesn't create abominations... God created nothing, man. God doesn't exist.
Shut up! Before I slap the fear of God into you. Didn't your
parents raise you well or you came from a broken home or molested while growing up and feel resentment againt God?

Your believing doesn't change the fact that God exists as people's hating on Jeg doesn't change the fact he's the commander in chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria!

Leveticus 20 vs 13:
"'If a man has sexual relations with a man as
one does with a woman, both of them have
done what is detestable. They are to be put to
death; their blood will be on their own heads".

Thanks. You did well.
But let me show you one or two things.
I'm not trying to avoid the quotation you posted. I'll come back to it.
I've been studying the Pentateuch for quite some time now. And most of it is riddled with clauses like "The Lord said to Moses" and the likes. And when I read most of the things that the Lord supposedly said, I ask myself: did "The Lord" really tell Moses these things? Or was Moses using that clause to give credibility to the words and laws which he was bestowing on the Israelites?
Why?
Because many of the things that the Lord supposedly commanded are ridiculous.

For example,
1. A woman's menstrual flow was seen by Moses as something that makes her unclean (Leviticus 15: 19). Such that she is ritually unclean throughout the period that she is menstrua.ting and for 7 days thereafter. Now if menstrua.tion has always part of God's design for the body of a woman, why will "The Lord" say that menstrua.tion makes a woman unclean.

2. When a man has seminal emission, he becomes ritually unclean (Leviticus 15: 16). And we both know that naturally, seminal emissions can occur during wet dreams. And it is known that wet dreams are part of the body's normal physiological response. Which is believed to have been put in man by God. So why does "The Lord" declare a man who has seminal emissions unclean?

3. Take a look at Leviticus chapters 18 and 20. You will discover that they were talking directly to men and not to women. Infact, everything there was about men. And I ask: does "The Lord" discriminate against gender where sexual sins are concerned?

Now coming to your quotation.
Re: Are People Really Born Gay? by nobilis: 11:51pm On Dec 27, 2014
Please keep an open mind or else the aim of engaging in this discourse with you would be defeated.

If you have read that passage critically, you will discover that Moses and "The Lord" never condemned being a homosexual. What they condemned is homosexual sexual intercourse.
And they are two different things.

If you've done an in-depth study of human sexuality, you will discover that a person's position on the sexuality spectrum has nothing to do with who the person has sex with. How do I mean?

Now, let me assume that you are straight (I'm assuming because I don't know). You didn't have to have sex with a girl to realise that you were heterosexual. Meaning that if perchance, you're still a virgin, it doesn't mean you don't know where you belong on that spectrum.

What is my point? You don't need to have sex with a girl to brand myself as straight. You don't need to have sex with a guy to brand yourself as gay.

Moving on from that point, there are many gay men who have sex with women. And there are many straight men who have sex with men. It all depends on circumstances. And so that begs the question:
What really defines someone as gay or straight?

A gay guy is a guy who has romantic attraction towards fellow guys. It is not about the sex. It is about the attraction. If you have sex with women but still you don't have that deep-seated romantic attraction for women, then you're not straight. If you have sex with men, but still you don't have that deep-seated attraction for men, then you're not gay.
Let me not bore you much with details of this. But I just hope you understand d point I've made. But if you didn't, you can refer me back to this point and we will explore it further.

So, by implication, Moses and "The Lord" never said anybody who is gay is an abomination. No!!! They didn't. What they said was that having gay sex is abominable. Now, I hope u understand the difference. Stop tying being gay and having gay sex together. They're different. You can be gay and abstain from gay sex. Conversely, you can be straight and be indulging in gay sex.

Think about it and study more.

I'm not done yet though.

Now coming to your quotation.
A woman's Menstrual flow and a Man's seminal emission are being said to be unclean at the moment one is experiencing it... Unlike being a gay, he/she has decided and concluded in his/her mind that that is what he/she is, which I think is wrong... See brov: I'm not trying to judge anyone here, I.just want peeps to know that this kind of sexuality is false... I believe it can be corrected... I'm not disturbed about it, I'm just worried that it may someday lead to something Apocalyptic..
