PEOPLE ARE NOT BORN GAY - AlarEnsis - Nov 26, 2010
I mean, people could, but I'd say that'd be rare. Why? Because being gay isn't helpful when passing on genes... Therefore, being "born" (genetically speaking, at least) should be a rare occurrence.
My 2 cents.

That has nothing to do with genetics.
Nobody said that you can't turn gay from a shitty childhood, just that you aren't born with a sexual orientation.
obviously there's nothing conclusive, but evidence seems to point towards the fact that genetics will give you a PREDISPOSITION to developing a certain sexuality. So no, people are not born gay, but they're born with certain factors that could influence homosexuality. It's a typical case of the nature vs nurture debate, and as is usually the case, it's a little bit of both.
as for being gay and its effect on passing on genes, I remember reading something about that, lemme see if I can dig it up...

But even a predisposition doesn't determine destiny. You could say that serial killers have genetic predispositions, but they weren't born a killer.
And I've yet to see an objective reason of why it is considered right. (read this knowing that I have nothing against gay people)

I'm gay. I have no clue if it was genetic, or something that came out of how I was raised, but it's really something that ISN'T easy to say "Born gay!" or "Became gay!" or whatever.

I think I interpreted the OP's post as meaning that being gay has absolutely nothing to do with genetics, which I don't think is true.

You're a doctor bumpy, you are the one who gets to pull the plug and tell raptors family about their great loss.
