Nurture or Nature- Is ***ual orientation determined at birth?

[Anders™]

But of course. -_-

I'd say it's nature, because gays have chemical imbalances and low levels of testosterone. I don't think there's a "gay gene" though.

chemical imbalances, idk. But the low levels of testosterone is a myth, which has been debunked.

i think the "chemical imbalances" are caused by at least one type of gene because it doesn't change later on in life. something has to be causing it and it's obviously not a pathogen.

Or perhaps it has to do with the developing embryo in which the chemicals that enters the system from the mother may have alter certain genes or chemical pathways in a way that may modify the mindset of individuals?

In the science realm, rarely does the cause/effect is 1+1 = 2, but more like 1+3.5x2/3-1=2

I believe our ***ual orientation is determined at birth. We are born the way we are. Let's face it who chooses to be a way that is for the most part, unacceptable in our society. I believe that we are forced to hide who we truly are, for acceptance. Our family, friends, and society tend to ridicule, bash, critize, and in some cases commit violence against those who are not like "everyone else". It is truly sad, but because so many of us have to stay "in the closet" about our ***ualality, when we finally "come out" it appears that we have made a choice, when in fact we were unable to be ourselves out of fear and the consequences we would have to experience. So personally, I did not choose to be this way, however I am proud to be who I am. I was born this way.

Nature always takes its course they say and I think thats the best way to leave it always been the way and always will.

So maybe it is nature .

It's both.

A study done with psychology shows that people who are homosexual have non-symmetric lengths between their left and right side. Their fingers, toes, and other things are generallylarger on one side of their body. heterosexuals however have symmetric lengths. When I get the energy to show you the article I will.

Explain to me Anders that if it isn't nature how that happens or is it that gay guys look down at their hands and say oh shit this hands fingers are longer it means i must have sex with guys now.

It's the nurture too because the flaming gay guys aren't born that way they choose that. They don't chose to be gay but they do choose to be flaming and out there with their homosexuality.

Lastly I know that Anders is gonna argue and make up some BS as to why this happens so I'm not going to bother responding to him. I have shared my view and that is all.

1) regarding the right/left brain and fingers size - interesting views there.

2) Being flaming has nothing to do with being gay, heteros can be flaming.

Lol. So you asked me to explain it, then you asked me not to? But yes, you guessed it right. The hand theory is a bunch of rubbish - a myth.

The length of your finger is boosted by higher levels of testosterone in the womb during the crucial phase of gestation. The fact that children, for example, who have longer fingers are "generally" better at math than people with shorter fingers means NOTHING. There is no physical condition that can define a person as being gay or straight. That idea is ****ing ridiculous. -_-

Hope you wash that pillow.

Nothing happens to it. O.o It just gets really warm.
