Toms dissaproval of gays/gays adopting comes from what people told him when he was growing up and the bible.

Its not genetic don't you mean?

But anyway the thing about up bringing is a true theory. Some psychologists believe that your upbringing and social conditioning can have an effect on your sexuality, and its something decided in the very early years before you can make a conscious choice.

How irrelevant :rolleyes:

Parents aren't religious and neither am I. If you're going to pass opinions like that at least get your facts straight but I'm not going to go into my personal life. And no I'm not contradicting myself and changing my story before people say that.

thats the reasons you gave

I didn't say parents. I said upbringing. You're implying I said that.

"My reasoning is that I come from quite a religious background and its just something I've always been told isn't right." Tom

Whatever your just being pedantic, it doesnt really matter who told you, people did

I'm not being pedantic, I'm just saying what you are trying to pass off as a fact is wrong.

Being a smart a*se and reading into things doesn't always work.

It doesnt matter who it was it has no relavence to the argument whoever bought you up to believe that has no logic either. And you are being pedantic

Ive edited it to make you happy

If it doesn't have relevance then why imply I said that and why bring it up? I'm not being pedantic, I'm just correcting you.

This is true, and to be honest, no one on here can really comment on having gay parents unless they have them.

Because without having gay parents we dont know what they are like so for everyone to make judgement is a bit off...

No mate...I mean what exactly what I wrote ... it IS genetic. That's pretty much what we've been aruging about the whole timw .... you just pick on that did you? hehe

" Some psychologists believe that your upbringing and social conditioning can have an effect on your sexuality, and its something decided in the very early years before you can make a conscious choice."
Sorry that's not even remoely true ... show me your source... I've never heard that one...... unless by "some psychologists " you mean the psychologists at your local church.

Because Im saying your reasoning is illogical, doesnt matter whether it was your parents or the next door neighbour, its all prejudice based on nothing logical

I know two people bought up by Lesbians and theyve never had any great problems

"I'm not being pedantic, I'm just correcting you."
OMG
sorry I'm out nighty night

lol

Then they are the sort of people that know whats its like and can judge weather right or wrong.

though i know every one will still have opinion on this.

There is no proof to say it is genetic, more evidence points away from that. If you're born gay then its nothing to do with genes. Its something else.

For starters I don't have a local church and I don't go.

If psychologists didn't believe it then there wouldn't be a huge nature v nurture debate around it. Just because you disagree doesn't mean you can dismiss it as being false :thumbs:

In 1991 LeVay published a controversial paper in the journal Science that described an anatomical difference between the brains of homosexual and heterosexual men.

In his seminar, LeVay described his own work and that of other researchers who give nature their vote in the nature versus nurture debate. LeVay referred to studies of separately-raised twins that suggest that sexual orientation has a genetic component.

"There is no proof to say it is genetic, more evidence points away from that. If you're born gay then its nothing to do with genes. Its something else. "

Wrong, plenty of new research to suggest there are differences in biological make up of /gay people. Social factors may play a part but that doesnt mean if you are bought up in a gay family you will turn out gay, thats rubbish

Genetic often refers to something passed down. I'm not doubting the biological make up at all.

well theres not evidence of a gay gene as such but there are probably biological/genetic differences that make someone more likely to be gay

But the clear focus of sexual-orientation research has shifted to biological causes, and there hasn't been much science produced to support the old theories tying homosexuality to upbringing.

I know a gay couple who live together they adopted a teenage boy now he's gay.
