But most men who were not close to their dads growing up and had dad’s who were always working and didn’t spend a lot of time with their families still turn out straight. And there are a lot of gay men who had normal, healthy relationships with their dads who still turn out gay. And as for sports, I don’t care for sports either, but there are more and more athletes who are coming out and announcing that they’re gay. So, not all gay people hate sports, either.I didn’t feel very close to my father growing up and hated typical male activities. Never involved in sports, dad was always working, mainly around mom, aunt, and grandma. I think parents should make sure their kids are developing well socially instead of just neglecting that. Gosh, felt so outcasted from peers for so long.
The best, most unbiased sources are anecdotal evidence. The Union of South Africa was the most racist entity in the world in the mid-20th century, with blacks having no rights, and ‘coloureds’ [mixed race] having little more. Geneticists did a statistical study by graphing the incidence of sickle -cell anemia among the privileged, and allegedly pure, white population, and found that 95% of them were, by definition, ‘coloured’. After this, Apartheid was on its last legs.Among the general population, 2.2+/-0.4% has SSA; among those raised by homosexual ‘couples’, 30% have SSA…that disparity strongly suggests a learning process rather than a genetic one.
No one will question the fact that suicide/ attempted suicide/ suicidal thoughts are statistically more common among those with SSA. This information was used to arrive at the 2.2=/- 0.4%, and confirmed more recently in a study involving tens of thousands of teens/young adults. The most recent study, done within the past few years showed SSA at exactly 2.2%. The 30% figure is less reliable, but was achieved by the same methods.
What choices did a gay person’s family make that made them gay? And did the families of straight people make choices that made their children straight? If this is true, then there could be a checklist of things that parents have to do to make sure that their children turn out straight and things to avoid doing to make sure that their children don’t turn out gay.
My dad took me out to shoot guns (ie target practice) and my uncle took me hunting. You’d think that those manly activities would have made me straight, but they didn’t. And I’ve always had a great relationship with my dad, and my mother, too. I had a normal and happy childhood, so I wonder where my parents went wrong so that I turned out gay?
Don’t get me started on that.But most men who were not close to their dads growing up and had dad’s who were always working and didn’t spend a lot of time with their families still turn out straight. And there are a lot of gay men who had normal, healthy relationships with their dads who still turn out gay. And as for sports, I don’t care for sports either, but there are more and more athletes who are coming out and announcing that they’re gay. So, not all gay people hate sports, either.
Wow, I wonder why that is?No one will question the fact that suicide/ attempted suicide/ suicidal thoughts are statistically more common among those with SSA. This information was used to arrive at the 2.2=/- 0.4%, and confirmed more recently in a study involving tens of thousands of teens/young adults. The most recent study, done within the past few years showed SSA at exactly 2.2%. The 30% figure is less reliable, but was achieved by the same methods.
Don’t get me started on this, either.How old are most people when they know they like someone of the opposite sex? I was about 5 or 6 when I realized I liked boys. Children with homosexual leanings know, often times from that very young age as well, what they like. I don’t know of any homosexual who “chose” to be gay at 14 or 15. And I know a lot of homosexuals.
Anecdotal evidence is the best, most reliable evidence available.All of your figures are unreliable
Concentrate! It’ll come to you…. I can’t believe you were basing your statements on the information you just provided. Nothing scientific about any of it.
You know, you make a great point here, and I think that might be part of why these parents disown them, because their children being gay insinuates in some way that the parent must have done something wrong in bringing them up.I agree with this, you are who you are. It wasn’t your family who made you gay. Perfect example what about gay people who’s families disown them for being gay or don’t like it … it wasn’t them who made them gay. I am a lesbian but it wasn’t my mother who made me this way I found an attraction to other women my mum accepts I am gay and she is catholic but it wasn’t her who made me a lesbian.
Why are you against the possibility that being gay might be at least partly genetic?Ok? It’s not a one size fit all explanation but I still refuse to believe it’s genetic.
I have ADHD which is a highly heritable disorder and has been linked to a number of different genes. It tends to run in families and I probably inherited it from my father. It doesn’t seem to me to be a very beneficial thing but humans haven’t died out yet because of it.A gay gene makes no sense whatsoever. Species would have died off a long time ago if that was the case.
If you inherited something that predisposes you to homosexuality and you don’t want it handed down to offspring, your straight brothers and sisters and cousins would have to be celibate, too, since even if they’re not gay, they would still carry the genes for it and could hand those down to their offspring.Well I might as well be celibate then, better not have offspring, don’t want them to go through this.
