If sexuality was a choice, bad or good?

[smithy1219]

Hi, I just read this thing on the internet about how if there was a ‘cure’ for homosexuality if it should be available for people to change there preference just how people can change there gender. Personally I think this would create more issues for the people who do not wish to change there sexuality from gay to straight as people would then see it as a choice where as at the moment there is no evidence to suggest its choice or not. From my experience I know I was born gay and im now 17 and starting to accept it and start telling people and im not sure I would want to be straight. It would go against who I am to go out with a guy etc (no offence you blokes out there :) ). I just don’t think I could do that.

I wondered what everyone else thought?

I agree with you on the fact that it could create more issues for the people who didn't want to change because then technically it would be a "choice". At first when I was younger I really hated the fact that I was gay and it caused a lot of problems for me. I think back then I probably would have changed to straight if I could have but now I'm glad to be gay and wouldn't want to be different from how I am. I think being able to change your sexuality is generally a bad idea because then there is pressure to "fix" it :? and people shouldn't be ashamed of who they are.. it isn't easy, it just takes some time to get used to.

Variety is the "spice of life". The only thing I am changing for anyone, is my clothes.

There is no "cure" for individuality.

I do agree and I hope that it never happens that you can change your sexuality because that’s will make things so hard for people who do not wish to change. Its hard enough as it is with all the people who hate the way we are and if it became a choice things I think would only go down hill. :-(

to me personaly the way i see it the word cure meens fixing or healing something that is wrong homosexuality is not wrong and never will be its just who you are and i would never want to change who i am even if i was givin the chance :D

I completely agree with you, there is nothing wrong with being gay. That's like saying that they would try to cure being black, or asian, or mexican. it's ridiculous. It's who you are and you should be proud of it, no matter what. even if ppl do say crap about it. Stick up for what u believe in! :)

I agree with both of you, X-CoCo-X and Ellen_portiafan1. I didn’t like it either and im fed up with people being homophobic and if anything its them that needs to be ‘cured’. Or at least keep there thoughts to themselves. I don’t go around telling everyone what I get up to and making a big deal about sexuality so they shouldn’t either. We all have our own views on what right but no one should be disrespectful towards someone else for something that does not even effect them. For example people would call me names but did the fact I had a girlfriend not a boyfriend affect any part of there life? No I don’t think so because I didn’t even know these people. Sorry I get angry about these things. I just wished everyone was treated more fairly for being themselves.

exactly, I recently came out to my mom and she told me that I won't know that I'm gay until I'm an adult and she also told me not to be so narrow-minded, but I personally think that straight people are narrowminded. they don't look past what the straight people's version of right is. They're the one's that need to see that we have dated guys but we just feel more comfortable with a woman. I mean we didn't choose to be gay, we just are. But we do choose to live our lives as gay men and women. We aren't narrow- minded, we've explored the other pastures and we just like the grass that's greener on the other side.

How can people change their gender?

I don't think it's a good idea either and not all straight people are narrowed minded. I see alot of homosexuals are are just as deviant.

By getting a sex change.

That's not changing genders. That's just adding and taking away. You are born with certain characteristics(unless you are born with both I guess) that makes one either male or female. A man can get the biggest implants and take as much whatever to become a woman and vice versa.

not all straight people are narrow-minded...me being one of them.personally,i see absolutely nothing wrong with being gay,it's who you are,so why should a person have to change who they are to "fit" into society?my family is very religious,and so am i to a certain extent,so my parents find it totally weird that i love ellen so much yet i go to church.but i tell them that i dont think god is going to be picky about two women or two men who love each other,and that love is love irregardless of whether its with the same or opposite gender.the church on the otherhand.....i completely disagree with many of there views and reasons for condemning certain things.like ellen says "unless i sit down with that person (referring to god) and hear it out of there mouth..." and i seriously live by that,i dont know how the church can say god says this is right or wrong,when all they are doing is basing teachings on a book written by....humans! and NOT god.......makes no sense to me.

[Ellen_portiafan1]

I'm talking about our parents and grandparents that are more narrow-minded. Because they grew up in a world where being in love with another man or woman wasn't right. I mean the younger ppl today are quite excepting of it now. And especially the older very religious ppl aren't excepting at all.

thinking about this question, i surprised myself with my answer. at first i thought i would definately change if given the chance, but i really dont think i would now that ive thought about it.

[kaaaaaaaaka]

I personnaly never would change my sexuality because that would mean changing my whole self. For me sexuality is more than just the gender of the person you love, its your whole way of living and seeing things around you. Anyway, just my opinion!!

Im gay and proud to be!!! :D and if someone is not happy about that go f*** yourself! (sorry i just had to get it out!)
