PLFXpert 0 #202 March 27, 2002 Hello gang. I am at work and have only had time to read a few posts but I thought I'd add my two cents to this one:1. I personally believe the majority of men and women who claim to be gay did not choose to be so. I believe they were born that way. However, younger kids may think it's "cool" or a new trend and might jump on the bandwagon and "choose" to do so. I am Christian but unlike a lot of Christians who criticize gays and lesbians, I do not feel it is my place to judge anyone, it's Gods. Because I believe gays are born that way, I do not feel it is a sin. Yes, I have read the part in the bible that says...blah, blah, blah....the bible is open to interpretation. Some people may interpret it as a sin. I do not.2. I'd rather see a child grow up in the care of a loving and stable couple than see them live the first 18 years of their life in foster care. Personally, I feel our current foster care system is more damaging to a young child than being cared for by a gay couple. The American Pediatric Association has made it legal for gays to adopt. Just like any other heterosexual couple wishing to adopt, these couples must undergo extensive reviewing, ect. before they are allowed to care for a child.My two centsMuch love and blue skies,Carrie http://www.geocities.com/skydivegrl20/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope, just the one article from the Baltimore Sun.

Tee 0 #209 March 27, 2002 Quote If my son comes home with another man and says he loves him he is in BIG trouble. Please remember that when you were a child, you didn't wake up one morning and decide to like girls. No...it was just part of you...it wasn't a choice. The same goes for gay children. They live for years feeling like there is something wrong with them because they are not attracted to the sex society says they should be. This feeling can even go on into adulthood. Today society is slowing learning more acceptance for homosexuality and that is allowing gay people to feel safer coming out (if they ever do), that is the only reason we see more of it today then we did in prior years. Homosexuality is not a choice...the only choice gay people have is to either live a lie their whole lives and never come out because society forces that upon them (how would you like to be forced to live with only a man your whole life?) or to come out and be treated as half a person without the same rights as the rest of society.Please remember, we didn't chose our sexuality.Tee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites rhino 0 #210 March 27, 2002 LOLNice try..

I believe it is something they learn to be or something they grow into by circumstance.That's a hard one really. I believe that, for the most part, they ARE born gay, or not. Like someone said earlier, it's a hard life, why would you choose that? However, I have known or known of some people that I wonder if circumstances kind of 'lead' them in that direction. Only they can know if they were unhappy being straight and found where they truly belong (after they 'switch' so to speak) or if they were so unhappy from a relationship they are scared so are trying something they consider 'safer'. A woman I know of dated men as a teenager and young woman, then later decided she was gay. She'd been sexually abused in the past by a family member and had always been scared to let a man touch her. These sorts of circumstances are deeper and individual. Then there are people whom I feel truly do feel attraction to members of both sex. Even some gay people think THEY are wrong and should 'choose sides'. I, personally, have been attracted to both men and women. I wouldn't have cared where I found my soulmate. If I was physically attracted to them, mentally attracted and stimulated by them, and truly loved them, it wouldn't have mattered to me if they were a man or a woman. New pin jewelry!
