Why are you gay poll

[Duck]

I was too lazy to read the whole 'Why are you gay?' thread, but I'm interested in the results

[txbarefooter]

I was turned gay by my levi's.. no I meant wranglers .. nope I mean my jeans. LOL

[PhotoGra1]

The UFO's that used to vaporize my blood, causing me to kill other people to drink their blood, in order to stay alive, have given up on vaporizing my blood and made me gay in an effort to kill me by AIDS.

...will they every stop?!

[bedlam]

yeap,,, I was gay as a fetus! :H

[BlackGuardXIII]

I was gay as a foetus too, but somewhere along the line, I ended up hetero.
I still consider myself a dormant gay fellow.
And just seeing an apple blossom tree in bloom on a sunny spring morning makes my spirit gay to this day.

[Duncan]

Can't reply. The original poster is on my ignore list.

[BlackGuardXIII]

waitaminute?????

that is a reply.

That's not you in that pic?
How is the new job going? I bet you love it.
Like my new sig?

[Abyle]

It's pretty obviously a genetic thing within my own family: two out of three kids are bisexual within my immediate family, headed by a very anti-gay conservative patriarch.

[moontime]

*sigh* Oh geez are we still talking about this?
Bi since birth, baby! yeah! I love everybody, LOL.

[broken_tradition]

My dad is bi and my mom is God knows what...me i'm gay:D

[psyche]

i caught the queers at the mall. never ever use public bathrooms, it spreads if you use the same toilet as a homo!

I knew it! No one believes me... They just won't listen... They'll get what's coming to them......

[Jointman69]

duck man you fuckin crack me up

[Abyle]

Hmm. Does that mean 9 of 10 toilets are safe?

[Snowdancer]

I was born bi but that just proves out Freud's theory......

[daniel]

I was BORN GAY!!!

[SelfControl]

I've been gay as long as I've known what sex was.

[Snowdancer]

The whole thing can be crowded & people will stand (especially guys) & often I sit alone. Pretty funny actually. But anyhow, now I know. They are afraid of catching The Queers :&

yes but you can never tell which is infected, it takes a long line of questioning and spying in on the toilet's life behind closed stalls. beware!!!

Sure. easy enough to say. You've already caught the Queers.:p

[monosphere]

I don't feel comfortable voting in this poll because it makes the assumption that the only options are either/or. What about a genetic factor brought to the surface by events in one's life?

[John221]

I'm actually bi and engaged, but I voted anyway.

[John221]

So sue me.

[Snowdancer]

awwww i would sit next to you <3

Well, sure you would. You aren't a homophobic dimwit. Besides, like Moonsphere said, you already have The Queers I suppose it's like the people with genital herpes finding partners tht already have it. It's not going to get worse by new The Queers cooties that literally jump from our bodies spreading gay agenda. Even cartoon characters can catch it you know. Look @ Barney, Jimmy Neutorn, Tinky Winky & now Even poor Spongebob Squarepants. All of them infected by us. I know I'm personally responsible for Tinky Winky. I used to watch Telletubbies with my Daughter every day. I'm sure that it's only a matter of time before that Rabbit, Buster comes down with it. No doubt in some episode soon he is going to start dancing ballet with Binky I suppose both of them wearing tights or EEEGads! tutus. They will no doubt recruit Arthur himself into their depravity having a lewd & raucous all male multi species orgy. The female characters will all start loving & kissing each other too. All because Buster visited lesbian Maple Syrup farmers. I take responsibility for this too. We watch that show all the time too. Yep, you guessed it. With my advanced affinity for electronics & constant television watching I have perfected being able to infect TV characters with The Queers <Snowdancer starts to laugh maniacally... > Now if only I could get Joe Rogan, Joey Tribbiani, David Letterman. I want Turk & JD to get it on on Scrubs while Carla & Elliot "play doctor" on the other side of the room. My mission would be complete if the whole cast of ER preformed a mass omnisexual orgy. OH, to see SHERRY STRINGFIELD (Dr. Susan Lewis), MAURA TIERNEY (Abby Lockhart), GORAN VISNJIC (Dr. Luka Kovac), NOAH WYLE (Dr. John Carter), LINDA CARDELLINI
(Samantha Taggart), ALEX KINGSTON (Dr. Elizabeth Corday), MING-NA

Man on man! Woman on woman! Women & men together! The cop characters using their cuffs for bondage stuff! mmf & ffm combinations! Heck while we are at it why not have Sherry Stringfield & Kathleen Wilhoite having sex so we could have incest too. Everyone wearing each other's cloths, especially the males wearing the females. YES! THAT WILL BE THE END OF CIVILIZATION! The gay agenda will have succeeded. The Queers will have completely infected the world. Brainwashing everyone into complete & total queerdom! Ahh Haa Haa Ahh Haa Haa!

[SpliffVortex]

I was turned gay by spliff's picture above...


no, actually I just like anal sex and dont know enuf women with strap on'sok

[LOSTBOY7]

I was turned gay by the 1980's

[Dr Death (the DJ)]

I am gay because... wait, I'm not gay - only 79% gay at the mo but slowly rising the number, the more arsehole men I meet!

[Ocean Byrd]

I first felt attracted to a boy for his personality when I was 7; and I felt physically attracted to a girl that same year.

[SpliffVortex]

That was a long ago . airplanes were not even invented yet.

[danielle_niki]

Hmm why am I gay? Girls are hot, I mean I am actually Bi, men are hot too. I began liking girls since I could first like anything. Boys too. Free love darlings, I truely find everyone beautiful.

[SageDreamer]

When it comes to fictional characters, I thought there was something about these two girls in Peanuts--why was Marcie calling Peppermint Patty "Sir" all the time? And Marcie looked a lot like Billie Jean King. Hmmm.....

And then what about Ernie and Bert? They lived together in a one-bedroom place. Was there ever any hot Muppetsex?

Am I the only one old enough to remember Snagglepuss? This big fey thing, and he was pink!

RE: why are you gay?
I'm queer because boys are attractive, but some girls are too.

[mariah2390]

I am bi and I think I was turned bi by my first ever girl crush.

But I don't think I was Bi when I was a fetus, I don't know

[Lodui]

I'm not, but I do like parades, which probably means I'm a little gay and just repressing something. http://www.hipforums.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

[feministhippy]

None of the above? I don't think I was born with a sexual orientation, but I didn't chose it, either. And there wasn't an incident that made me bi. I think it was just something that developed as part of me.

[SageDreamer]

Maybe we're not gay because.

Maybe we just happen to be gay.

[hipunk]

Why are you gay?

I don't know why. God made me gay, you should be asking him.

I have known for as long as I can remember. One of my most vivid memories is of my older brother who was chiding me for watching Chef Tell, a fabulous, flaming, local chef who had a daily T.V. program.
"Why you watching him for? You don't want to watch him, he's queer."
I asked him what queer meant.
He said it was a man who wanted to be with another man like daddy wanted to be with mommy.

I realized two things, one -I am queer; two -people will hate me if they find out.
I was 6 years old. I didn't know a thing about sex.

Nothing in my young life was any different for me than it was for my brothers who are straight. Mine is one of thousands of simular stories.

[Erasmus70]

There are two reasons in particular that can explain (well.. explain isnt the exact word) but are often involved in why some men will 'become gay'.
This is just generalising so just calm down:

- Given an upbringing in which the Father is either absent or is absent emotionally, distant emotionally. [examples: Alcoholic, very detached/uninterested in Son] and at the same time a Mother who is a strong dominant figure.
Not necessarily 'bullying' either but in which the Mother is the one who controls and dominates the household, especially in emotional and social sense of it.

Now that previous example is not necessarily what sets the stage but when its combined with traumatic experiences.. basically disfunctional and especially if alcoholism and physical abuse (beating) and these sorts of problems exist.

- The Child is then 'Recruited' through the sexual molestation by an older man.
Often a 'Friend' who exploits the childs low self esteen and desire for a Father Figure of any kind.
Often the 'Recruiting' male will follow a pattern something like this:
He will gain the boys trust and begin infering sexuality and lust into the relationship. Not difficult at all if the boy is entering puberty.
Almost always some form of pornography is introduced although not necessarily either.
Eventually the 'Recruiter' will suggest that the boy may be gay?
Then suggest that its 'easy to know' and for example say "Well if you are gay then if a man sucks your penis you will get a boner"
Something along those lines.
Then the boy 'finds out' that he is actually a gay.
He wins approval and 'fatherly love' from being 'a gay' and there you go.

Take those two scenarios and combine them - you have an extremely powerful force of events that will have a young man saying he is 'A homosexual' in no time.

Even better if you have a school system, media bombardment and grown adults who will not only condone the behavior but actually praise and encourage it and its probably a lock-solid done deal, everytime.

[monosphere]

Hmm... my dad was always there for me. Apart from the typical arguments, dad never beat me, made me feel worthless, or ignored me.

I was never sexually abused, nor was I "recruited" by anyone. I had my own curiosities about sex and sexuality and explored it a bit with someone my own age. Even after the initial sex encounter, I still didn't think myself gay or bi until I got serious crush on another boy and had the opportunity to go on a few dates with him. It was then that I decided that I could have a loving relationship with a man just as meaningful as with a woman. I don't know if it's all genetics or if there is learned traits. All I know is that your theory does not hold water in my book.

[Erasmus70]

Its not 'my theory' but its an example of well documented case studies which were on the way to help Doctors treat men with what was then called 'Homosexuality' and was considered a behavioral problem.
That was before they were told to stop treating it as such.

It also happens to be why my best friend from jr.high was seen on the News at the 'Gay Pride' parade flashing his anus at the cameras and declaring it 'sweet stuff'.
Seriously.

As I said - these are some general explanations, so just calm down and everyone can just keep the never-ending "NOt Me' posts for themselves.
If not...
I can give you another explanation of why the young men in this situation cannot ever admit what has actually happened anyways.
As you can imagine, the absolutely devastating realisation of those things is simply far too much to handle.
But 'IF' you say that you are 'gay anyways' then it becomes much less hostile a memory to deal with.
But thats another story.

[LogsOnSticks]

Its very accountable info Erasmus, but any circumastance can be analyzed under some way, shape, or form.

For example, how can someone be born gay on a scientific level?

Well, one scientific theory is called hormone anomaly- A pregnant mother secretes an unusual or wrong amount of hormones to the baby that will alter its perceptions on sexual feelings later in its life when the child reaches puberty as the hormones begin to trigger reactions.

I once read up on 'testosterone baths' and how it led to (oldie days word) Viragos or what we just call 'Manly Women' and this sort of thing.
Last I heard - there was no more homosexuality among these women than any other group.
Id like to read more if you have any links.
The study I saw would be about 10 years old now.

Unlikely and it surely never happened. Your "Gay Pride Camera" story suspiciously seems to relate to the fact that I recently mentioned cameras at a Gay Pride parade. If you are going to fabricate such wild stories to illustrate your homophobia, could you be a little more original, please.

[Erasmus70]

Read it and weep Hipunkrite... thats how it happened.
Its also how it happens for a lot of guys in gaydom.
There are two reasons why its not talked about:
-I mentioned before the tremendous emotional pain and this is just unbearable to be faced. Its just better to say "well i was born this way anyway' than to even start processing the ramifications of what else it could be.
I mean, seriously if you think about it long enough it would make a person cry out loud for these people.
- The other reason its not talked about is pretty obvious: Its not allowed to be a legitmate conversation anymore.
You do NOT mention that on any televised discussion or publication because that is NOT how its going to be percieved or thought about.
It brings questions about the Official Thinkspeak and thats 'Hatred' and 'Bigotry' right?
So dont you even bother asking if its true or not.. thats beside the point - it will NOT be a valid topic to be known about.
Except here at Hipforums where we can actually talk without censorship for once.

Yeah, but are testosterone baths a natural occurence or a choice women made for themselves? Because in today's world women can shoot themselves with steroids to make themselves receive a manlier appearance.

Hormone anomaly naturally occurs during pregnancy. The child has no choice or involvement in it whatsoever.

Anyway, here's a link I found about hormone anomaly and other scientific scenarios that could lead to homosexuality. It's viewed and written by a homosexual, but his research is from legitimate sources.

LogsOnSticks, thanks for finding the link. It is an articulate and accurate paper.

interesting info.

[henry101]

I have to say, Erasmus, that what you posted earlier is just not a generalization, but it is generally wrong.

What you posted is a perfect re-hash of a century old Freudian theory on homosexuality. It has since been discredited, as has much of psychoanalytical theory.


Source: American Psychiatric Association (http://www.apa.org/pubinfo/answers.html#choice)
There are numerous theories about the origins of a person's sexual orientation; most scientists today agree that sexual orientation is most likely the result of a complex interaction of environmental, cognitive and biological factors. In most people, sexual orientation is shaped at an early age. There is also considerable recent evidence to suggest that biology, including genetic or inborn hormonal factors, play a significant role in a person's sexuality. In summary, it is important to recognize that there are probably many reasons for a person's sexual orientation and the reasons may be different for different people.
Source: American Psychiatric Association (http://www.apa.org/pubinfo/answers.html#choice)
Sexual orientation emerges for most people in early adolescence without any prior sexual experience.
Source: Wikipedia - Homosexuality (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexuality#Nature_versus_nurture)
[Historically, Freud and his followers believed] that the most common experience that leads to homosexuality is sexual abuse experienced as child. The modern scientific and medical consensus is that biological or in-born factors -- whether genetic or acquired in utero -- produce characteristically homosexual childhood experiences...As you will notice, I have cited two rather mainstream sources of information, one being the nation's premier association of psychiatrists, and the other being an online encyclopedia with an accuracy rating that is the same as the Encyclopedia Britannica (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4530930.stm).

I've provided you with just a summary of the scientific consensus. I could easily find many more highly credible links which say the same things. I don't have to resort to a discredited 19th century theory, fringe publications, or purely anecdotal evidence.

You speak quite often of how your "best friend" was gay, and how "most of my friends growing up were gay". Not only does this add nothing to your argument, but I think you are making it up, since it is a statistical improbability that most of your friends were gay. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexuality#Incidence) Furthermore I doubt you would hold such typical anti-gay views if you actually had so many gay friends.

What I'm saying is that you're full of rubbish.

[BuffFilmBuff]

I've got a few other gay people in my family, but that isn't the reason. Men rock. Period.

I got turned on by the football team thats pretty much it

i did like a girl in grade 7 but then i fould out she had a boyfriend and i took one look at him then the next day i was gay. thats about how it happened lol

Born gay grown up gay and its all mums fault.. She carries the gene according to the site i saw :P

[Last Stand]

the dam fluoride in the toothpaste did me in.

[Andie Nicole]

I think it developed as I grew older, but not caused by any one thing.
I suppose I was just born with a tendancy towards it, and little things over time, mostly in my early tweens, helped my bisexuality along.

My sister is, btw, lesbian, and I believe the tendancy does run in families.
My aunt has had a 'roommate' for... I think thirty years.

[xshatteredximagex]

I've always been bi...at least I think so

[JI G]

when i was about 7 i had these friends brian and Melony..anyway we would go into my tree house and look at eachothers parts..just out of curiosity.. anyway me and brian where boared and melony wasnt over.. so we discovered that getting ur dick sucked on feels good.. we had no clue about sex yet and did it for the feel.. i am not possitive that turned me gay.. but im pretty sure....

Give it a rest this post is allready over 1 year old.

RE: why are you gay?
I'm queer because boys are attractive, but some girls are too.Same here.

[TreeFiddy]

If something happened to turn me bi, it must've been REALLY early in my life, because I've been attracted to guys for as long as I can remember, I just didn't accept it for a while.

That guy in my class who I would "inexplicably" want to be around? Hmm...I wonder why??? ;)

[okay]

I voted gay as a fetus. When I started realizing my own sexuality, it was always the thought of being with another guy that turned me on. When I was 16 I had a hopeless crush on a girl one grade ahead of me BUT I think that may have been cuz i was in love with her younger brother who was one year younger than me.

[Sidnei]

I was born gay, of course! hehehe :-)

[SelfControl]

I think the question is more often: "Steve, why are you so fucking gay?"

[CrazybutLazy]

I don't think either way really describes me. I always considered myself straight untill about age 12, at which I started to question my sexuality just a little bit. One day, after fantasizing about gay situations every once in a long while, I decided to check out the Gay Male section on literotica. I liked it.... a lot. I can't get off while reading straight situations now... but I definatly can with pictures!

~CrazybutLazy

[iChris]

No I was turned gay by guys!

I never thought about it until I was about 12 or 13. Then there were hot guys! Yay!

[bkcmar]

i was turned gay by Nancy Sinatra's "these boots are made for walking". as a 6 year old i was dancing to the song in the yard, wearing my mother's go go boots and a shirt around my head pretending it was my long blond hair.

[J0hn]

I prefer the young blonde hair and blue eyed boys. If I wasn't a gay, I would probably be asexual.

[moonlightdelerium]

I always got caught for staring at les filles in my class, but I've come to accept it. I tell em' they should take it as a compliment :)

I think everyone is slightly gay weather they have discovered it or not. I didn't discover I was bi until highscool, and didn't admit it to myself until quite recently.

I think everyone is slightly gay weather they have discovered it or not. I didn't discover it until highscool, and I didn't admit it to myself until recently.
I don't agree with that, because i would love to be sexually attracted to women and am not in the slighest, i think they're beautiful but i'm not sexually attracted.
being completely gay is in the minority I think, but if you look at the sexulity scales, while many people will be in the middle there are still people at ethier end

No I was turned gay by _______ (fill in the blank)Mr. Rogers. That, and my great-grandmother teaching me needlepoint.

[*Andy*]

Hah you can't become gay. Research has shown that people have chemical imbalances in their heads that make them gay or something like that. Maybe I are wrong, but I don't believe that you can become gay.

[logan-42]

Hey... I hope this doesn't offend anyone. I'm just curious about homosexuality and why it exists... is it a conscious choice to become gay? Or was it something you just felt inside, almost as if it were genetic?

P.S. I support gay marriage and all of that stuff.

[amp7325]

It's definitely not a conscious choice.

This is something that I posted on a different forum, about basically the same topic:
The age old question of nature vs. nurture.

My stance is that it's a little bit of both. / I haven't thought about it enough (probably because I don't want to).

I do not believe that a person is born gay or lesbian or bisexual or anything. In my opinion, people are not born with any sexual orientation at all. However, everyone is born with specific genes that govern our behaviors and feelings. Our environment, where we grow up, also governs our behaviors and feelings. So my view is that the right combination of genes and environment can cause someone to be gay.

HOWEVER if you disagree with that, don't get all up in arms about it, because I haven't really thought about it too much and haven't developed the idea very much.


My TRUE opinion is that it doesn't matter. Whether it's because of my environment, my genes, something I was born with, how I was raised, whatever, I'm gay. It doesn't matter why I'm gay, I'm just gay.

[pianoperson60]

hey,
Im sure some people will get offended. Not because I think what youre asking is offensive, but because a lot of people here overreact like idiots and always try to point people to old posts that asked hte same question and get all pissed at hte person who asked the same questoin twice.

But anywho!

Why it exists? Why dont you just turn the question around and ask "why shouldnt it exist?" ya kno? Theres not really a "why". Well, I guess if youre religious you might believe God created homosexuality to give guys ultimate pleasure, cuz God knows himself that sex with a dude is better than with a girl anyday. :-) haha

Nope, it is not at all a concious choice. There are straight guys who make the choice to take part in gay acts, but thats not them "becoming gay" its just a choice of theirs.

But poeple who are actually gay dont choose. The only choice a gay guy has with being gay is whether or not he'll accept it or if he'll just hide it away.

Its definitely something you feel inside, kinda sorta like it was genetic. For me, genetics with such things as sexuality seems more symbolic than anything. But yeah, being gay is something you *realize*, Id say.

P.S. Thats cool thatcha support gay marraige and rights.
P.P.S. You gay?

That is so damn true.

I'm sure these two guys have summed it up nicely for you and like they said - it is not a concious choice. It happens differently to everyone, but one day you'll just start thinking..."Am I gay?"

I remember I started realising because when I wanked, I thought of one of my friend's dads..Then I started looking up naked men and then started looking up "Am I gay?" things on the interweb. For a while it seems a bit odd, but then you just learn to accept it and your body follows.

I think in a way, once I accepted and almost convinced myself that I was gay, I started finding vaginas and stuff more unattractive than ever which reinforced these feelings about my sexuality.

Hope that made sense :) I'm glad you're not a homophobic tool. So many people are and we could really do without it. Thank you - you are a good person for that. You clearly have been raised by people with some great morals and values.
