Where do u stand on this? Do u think homosexuality is a result of socialisation or just plain biology? Or, perhaps, more likely a combination of the two? To what extent do u think each plays a part?

My mother used to call me Nicola and make me wear dresses until I was 17, something I still continue to this day, along with having sex with men in the bum, and yet I'm 100% heterosexual, so go figure.

I think some people are born that way and there is nothing wrong with that. I know some people and they are so sweet

I know. Homosexuals can be quite cool, actually.

It's true. I met one once and he was smart too.

Fauxie said:

dammit

now everyone's gonna want to hang out with us.

I'm speaking for myself and myself only. I was born this way. I've know since I was 5 years old when I had a crush on Mickey of The Little Rascals fame.
(Robert Blake ).

And believe it or not I know nice gay people and AS**OLE gay people(men & women). I know gay people that have no sense of style. The reason I mention this is that people always say oh they're all so nice and fun and blah blah blah. Sometimes it bugs me when people say that because, although it's a positive message it is also not accurate.

Sorry.

I had a black friend once too and he was nice also.

they (scientists/biologists) are working to prove it is purely biological, the embryo being exposed to certain levels of testosterone while in the womb. Apparently if the mother suffers extreme stress levels while pregnant this can cause an overproduction of testosterone and it affects the foetal brain - well that's how I understood this theory anyway.

They have managed to prove that autistic kids are not the product of refrigerator (ie. cold and distant) mothers - as believed before the 1950s.

So you can't blame/thank your mum - it's not her fault.

next thing, you all will want access to our secret underground city that no non-gay person is ever supposed to know abou--


SHIT!

charlottegelin said:

I don't believe that

I think it's something you're born with. Certain traits or behaviours, for some people anyway, I think are learned. For example, there are some genuine flaming queens out there, but there are also some gay men who will "act gay" because they think they're supposed to.

The same can be said about any minority, really. Tell a person they are something often enough and sooner or later they'll believe it.

yes black people are really nice as long as they are not homosexuals or jewish

It may not come across as a joke to people who belong to those groups.

charlottegelin said:

I think our humour is a little to dry for some people.

You are forgiven

U said they're born with it, but your last paragraph highlights socialisation as a cause.
