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.

No, "psychologists" believe that. Only Right wing nutters. All evidence supports that it's genetic. The majority of gays were brought up in heterosexual households, and they weren't molested, or any other theory that came out of the 1950s when they used to play that homosexuals were pedophiles.

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.

Nope, most evidence supports just the opposite.

"If you're born gay then its nothing to with genes."

Uh, being born a certain way, is genetics, my friend. Yeesh.

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

Biological make up IS GENETICS.

You can't turn someone gay.

If they did, he would be dating women.

[ange7]

mahahahaha!

Theres no evidence of a gay gene as such but genetics are obviously involved in the biological make up of a person. I think it makes sense from an evolutionary perspective for there to be more gay people in a rapidly expanding population. for the human race to survive we need to have enough resources for everyone. Its nature man

What is IVF?

[NettoSuperstar!]

messing with eggs and sperm outside the womb then putting it back...and I wasnt being serious, Id rather people had kids through IVF that really want them than the scum who pop em out like they just dont care, then they just dont care

[Kornetto]

Yeah i think they should be allowed to adopt. But the thing is the child might get bullied cause her/his parents is gay.

Then that's a societal problem that should be dealt with.

[andyman]

Yes, it should never be an issue.

[Sunny_01]

I cant see why gay couples should not be allowed to adopt. Someone said that kids of gay couples could be bullied at school, surely thats the same as kids of fat parents, kids of people who dont conform to the norm in terms of dress code etc. not sure that bullying is a good argument for not being allowed to adopt.

I think anyone that can provide a loving, nurturing home should be allowed to adopt.

Interesting point - without passing comment on whether his upbringing with them affected his sexuality - surely gay parents are better equipped to help teenagers come to terms with their own homosexuality? It doesn't always have to be a bad thing, a child coming out as gay "because" they have gay parents.

don't try to be funny with a topic which is sensitive to a minority of people

Suit yourself.

[Wildcat!]

LMAO! YOu cannot be serious with these comments acidbur08! BUt I have a feeling you are.
Anyways, not that I am an expert, but apparently, youre equally likely to be a homosexual, regardless of your parents sexual orientation. SO that point dont hold up!
I would rather kids be raised by straight parents because lets face it, that is the norm. But there are a lot of different situations these days. Kids raised by single parents(nothing wrong with that, but not ideal), or parents that are unfit (As in they are abussive, substance abuse etc..., or financially limited). SO Imo, they should be allowed to adopt if its a better situation for the kid.

[acidburn08]

I'm dead serious :L
