There is also several states that have "no pro *****" laws. While that might be stupid. There is still a ways to go to get those laws changed.
I don't buy the "born that way" propganda. So far science can't prove people were born that way.
If it was so, then how can 1 identical twin be gay and the other strait? They share the same genetic code, so if one is, the other should be as well.
I believe everyone has limits to how much stress/trauma they can handle. And when that limit is reached, a new behavior pattern emerges. At birth, we are all blank slates, its our experiences that shape us.
And you can't tell me that scientists can't figure it out, cause they can tell who is a higher risk for many different things (diseases, disorders etc) from a person's genetic code, so if there was a distinct pattern, they would've found it by now.
Now before you jump all over me. I'm not saying its a bad thing or that they are bad people or broken in any way. Just how I see it, just like you see it as "born that way". And I dont put anyone down because of their lifestyle choices. I respect everyone, but their lifestyle isn't for me.
When you inquire as to how one twin could be gay and one straight, it feels as though that's as far as you've ventured into your query. It honestly feels like you've not seriously considered the question at all because you feel the question itself serves as an answer.
Let's explore your question though, by asking a few more questions. How is it that one twin is very athletic and the other one is not? How can it be that one twin has a great sense of humor while the other does not? How can it be that one twin learns very quickly while the other does not? How can it be that one twin is sexually attracted to one type, while the other is attracted to a different type, even if both are heterosexual?
The answer, in my opinion, is two-fold. I believe that some homosexuals are indeed "born that way" while others prefer to be that way. For example, I have always been attracted to guys. At no point in my life has that not been the case. From my earliest memories of sexual attraction, females were never part of the equation. I have a friend who's experience was very different. At one point, he was very much attracted to females. However, over time, his desires and preferences would change to the point where he began to be much more attracted to men.
Ask yourself this; why are you heterosexual? Did you decide to be that way? Did you suffer trauma that forced you to be that way? Did you become a heterosexual due to societal pressures? Or perhaps, is it just the way that you've always been or evolved to be?
Being heterosexual, homosexual, bi-sexual, asexual, or whatever the case may be, is not a pattern of behavior; it's the natural product of your personal, internal preferences and desires. If you, as a heterosexual, prefer one type of woman over another, is that a "pattern of behavior" on your part, or is it simply what you're attracted to; something that you can't help or change?
