I don't dislike it, I disagree with it. Hence the bull**** flag.
LOL. Speaking of bull****.

Controlling our preferences does not mean that we still don't have said preferences...
Wait, so you are saying that all I have to do is "choose" to like passion fruit and I will like it? I won't scrunch my face up in some disgusted sour face if I only "choose" to like it? Since we all have the same taste buds, I have "chosen" to not like passion fruit some time in my past and have simply forgotten this "choice"? Seriously?
I think that you give way too much power to the idea of choice. Are yo usaying that you chose to be heterosexual, forgive me if I missed this mac.
You know what is odd? I have been around gay people since I was 7ish, and I have not actually seen gay couples kiss all that often, probably alot less than I have seen strait couples kiss(per couple, not overall). I know a couple gays who are kinda in your face, but they seem very rare. Most gay people I have known you would not know without them telling you or being friends with them.
do you like anything now that you found distasteful as a child?
I think you give to little power to the idea of choice.
I don't disagree with that.
Good point, but I would counter that it was not that I now decided to choose to like it, but rather that my taste buds or my preferences matured.
I dislike tomatoes sincerely when I was a kid and now I love them. I never once made a choice to like them. I just had one after twenty years of not eating them and found that I liked it intensely. I also liked tequila a lot, and then I drank too much of it, was violently sick and now it revolts me. I made no choice in the matter, I smell it and my stomach turns. I have tried drinking it a few times in fact, choosing to like it but it didn't work and then I just gave up. Choice doesn't define us... innate preferences do.
I have brown eyes but they are very sensitive to light. I never chose this.
I didn't choose to like pizza or sushi or sports or breasts... I never looked at a guys dick in gym and thought, hmmm... that might be fun to suck. I never chose to like the shape of a woman. Girls started getting curvy in middle school, started developing breasts and my eyes were drawn to them from some mystical power.
My favorite TV show was Friends for the sole reason that Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox's nipples were hard in just about every scene. Damn I miss that show...
Choice, the other white meat... it's over rated...

I thought your mother is gay?
In this case, matured is just a different word for changed.
hmm, have you tried fellatio recently?
Genetic, different entirely.
There's a little evolution at work here....
I miss that too...
So, there is never a choice?
For how you define the word "abnormal", do you consider gays to be "abnormal"?
She is. That right there might tell you a couple things.
Ok, then you're adopted? If I'm gettin too personal tell me to stfu. I won't report it
Lesbians can have children mac...
Many still have the biological urge to have children, and many lesbians are in marriages and have kids and then leave the marriage for a woman... weren't we just talking about Friends. Ross got dumped, 'member?
Can I tell you to stfu if she doesn't?
I've been to places where two stray people ****ing on the sidewalk is fairly common.

he said he's been around gays since he was 7.....that would indicate....
you could try....
Red hair is exceptional and exceptionally hot.

The question is, what people, country, imperial, civilization etc. in the last 5771 years considered Homosexuality as normal and has not vanished?
Why are you so defensive all of the sudden? Is this not an opinion board?
But what does that serve when in one thread we get a gaggle of contentious users?
Since we can't pin down the definition, and we know such argumentation would ensue, why even offer up the question?*
No not necessarily, Thinks happen that nature does intend... but they usually die out. But i think there is a connection between a development of a human and some other animals sexual drive where a mess up can occur. The sex drive aspect would pass, but when the defect happens it wouldn't.
So basically nature just "is" and we have absolutely no idea what we're supposed to do in life? It would seem like the safest position one could make about existence, yet it offers nothing for depth of understanding.
But that is exactly the point. The theory of evolution is not concretely proven, it's a theory. Theory =/= concretely proven. If I asked 20 scientists how life came to exist, I am sure I would not get one unanimous position. In fact, I've actually debated with multiple "evolutionists" and they kept arguing amongst themselves about their theories...
