  • I just answerd this question hours ago. I'll let God's word tells you why.

    Romans 1:18-32:

    For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.

    For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

    Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

    Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

    For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.

    Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

    And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

  • Human sexuality development is little understood. Most psychologists believe the seeds for someone's sexuality are formed in early childhood, during formative years, I've read between 3 and 6 years old are especially important.

    It affects more than just sexual orientation. More needy people may not have received the affection children need. Poor relationships with a parent can create a desire to get what they lacked in their adult relationships. Gay people often say they were born that way, and I guess in a sense its true.
    The desires you will have for affection, or perhaps not liking physical touch.. or characteristics of their parents' personalities and who they were to the child. Everything from a workaholic parent with no time for their child to alcoholics or addicts or sexual abuse or physical abuse can affect what someone grows up to desire

  • You don't choose your sexual orientation, but you can come to "Accept it" and make it publicly known, which is what I suppose you refer to.

  • Next question we will get from you is why people choose to be tall and why people choose to be black.

    • Some people can still choose the partner they want to be with. It's not as simple as not being able to change their height or skin colour.

    • Everyone can choose their partners. The point is, you can't choose sexuality anymore than height or skin color. You can choose to ignore your sexuality if you want to but that doesn't change it.

  • Why did you choose to be heterosexual?

  • It's not a choice. You don't get to decide your sexual orientation.

    • That wasn't the question being asked. Sexual orientation aside someone can still choose to be with someone of either sex. And sexual orientation works on more of a gradient than it does just black and white.

    • The question asked was "Why some women and men choose to be lesbian or gay. My answer is that no one chooses to be lesbian or gay. There is no answer yo you question besides his because not a single person on this planet chooses what gender they are attracted to. They may choose which gender that they sleep with but they do not get to choose which one they are attracted to.

    • Someone who falls closer to the bisexual spectrum can most definitely choose one side or the other and still not choose the opposite. That's my point in it.

  • Think about it this way. Do you remember when you were in grade school and one day the asked everyone in the class if they liked boys or girls and wrote down their answer? Me neither because it never happened. I never had to choose to prefer, it's just what I've always felt from the get go.

  • Not a Choice... unlike falling for a particular race/nationality.

  • I'm trying to remember the reference but there was a psychologist in the 60s who had a sort of test to determine the level of sexual preference one might have.

    This had a wide range from completely heterosexual to completely homosexual. For those there is no 'choice per se.

    There is a huge swath of area in between. Those who are more drawn to one side of the spectrum are more likely to stay with that orientation but seldomly do they go towards the other side.

    Those who are closer to being bi can choose who they want to sleep with and their decisions can be from wanting their own bio-children, marriage laws, or whomever they deem to be most comfortable with.

    In the end sexuality is much more fluid than a lot of people think. Who you end up being with is still ultimately your choice and your own reason.

  • I have to go with learned behavior coupled with environmental factors.

    Environmental:
    Decreased testosterone from
    -pesticides
    -plastics
    -poor diet
    -estrogen in the water from birth control

    Learned behavior:
    -everyone else is doing it
    -pornography
    -media saying it's okay
    -"if im feeling this way then i must be gay"

    But that's just my opinion :^)

  • Some people DO choose it, but why is only for them to say. Cause only they understand why. But all of my gay friends argue that those people aren't gay cause they weren't born gay.

    So I don't know, i guess it might be because of factors or experiences they have been through that drew them to it.

  • I don't think it's deliberate choice, it's a result of many different things, including both biology, the social environment and choice of sexual fantasising.

    People can develop perversion over time, one small step at the time, nobody is born like toilet sex or animals, yet some people do.
    Clearly they is some choice involved, but biology also comes into play.

  • No one chooses their sexuality. It is what they are born with.

  • It is not a choice -.- do you chose to be straight?

    I'm all in for rational thinking and fuck sjws, but this question is bigoted even to my standards.

  • You don’t choose num nuts
