Causes Of Homosexuality.

My conclusion is that it’s best to accept what we are attracted to. In my case I’m a man that’s totally attracted to men so I accept that I am and I’m very comfortable to be the homosexual that I was meant to be!

 

That's the attitude and conclusion that the whole world needs to adopt and accept as the truth about humans. "The causes of homosexuality." "What makes people bisexual?" No one ever asks what makes people heterosexual, but everyone is expected to be or face a lifetime of being seen as some kind of freak or pervert when, as you said, it makes more sense to accept what attracts us and for the rest of the world to get its collective head out of its collective ass and be a part of this century...

 

Very well said!

 

When it was time to marry my husband who had just arrived from Nigeria, I intentionally left my parents out of the equation. They didn’t find out until weeks after everything was done because mom would have publicly objected and would have humiliated me in front of everyone. She found out later after everything was finished and we had the marriage certificate in our hands.

 

I can imagine your mom having a whole litter of cows if you had told them before you got married; historically, a lot of parents have had hissy fits because their children weren't heterosexual...

 

She would have had a whole cattle farm! LOL

Its not a cause, its a desire.

 

@topper, we live under the auspices of cause and effect, and we know the effects of homosexuality... but we don't know what "causes" it, what makes some people homosexual while others aren't. We get to bugging about this because according to the belief systems we tend to hold dear, no one is supposed to be homosexual... and homosexuality has been with us and probably before recorded history. We know what it is; we know what's good and bad about it; what we don't know is why or what causes the effect.

Science has been unable to explain the cause; religion, science's arch enemy, says that [again] no one can be homosexual under pain of death and eternal damnation... but. The guys I began my sexual exploration with (as far as being intimate with guys) contained one homosexual guy while the rest of us were either "practicing bisexuals" or literally scared straight. What makes someone who is immersed in heterosexuality become bi- or homosexual? A lot of things can cause this change, and most of them are social in nature but some of them aren't and we have been chasing our tails "forever" trying to figure out why people wind up being anything other than heterosexual.

There cannot be an effect with a cause but if you can't find a cause, let alone explain a cause, then what's left to do because, obviously, people can not be heterosexual and as socially and morally mandated (and, again, we know this) but... the cause continues to elude us because we have an innate need to know... stuff. The need to be intimate with another human is hard-wired into us and social norms tend to work well to keep our need for sex and intimacy focused on the heterosexual way of things, but. We can, within reason, count how many stars are in the skies that we can see; what we can't do is figure out why people become homosexual (or bisexual) when our social norms dictate otherwise.

We can come up with some very interesting probable causes that prevents us from just accepting the real "cause " - we're human. Genetically and biologically programmed to be sexual even if merely for reproductive purposes but, yeah, we're human and, well, we know the effect, don't we? Shit, even I wanted to know how and why guys wound up having sex with each other when we were told not to even if we weren't told why other than it being a sin. What makes a guy merely look at another guy and get an urge to have sex with him? What causes this... when it's not supposed to?

To me, the answer is, "Duh... we're human and we've made a mess of what attraction is and what it means, and we continue to deem it immoral for "Jim" to be emotionally and/or physically attracted to "Billy", but the attraction is there and what causes it? We're human." Saved me a lot of headaches growing up and I have always found it utterly fascinating to hear guys talk about why they're, well, not straight. The effect is so profound and pronounced and across our existence as a species that the cause... really doesn't mean a whole lot and more so when, again, we reject the one cause that should be very damned obvious:

We are human. What other cause is needed or makes any sense?

 

Even animals in nature sometimes try to mate with the same gender so it must be something natural that causes the same sex attraction.

 

Yes, we know that, too - but still wonder what causes it. And, duh, it's nature. The difference is that those animals that "practice" homosexuality or even bisexuality doesn't have social rules that demand that they be heterosexual animals and, indeed, we pat ourselves on the ass to think that we're above such animalistic behaviors while forgetting - and conveniently so - that we're animals, too but, we know the effect - we just cannot accept the cause... it can't be that simple, can it?

Yeah, it can be because nothing else makes any sense. Naturally occurring and we happen to be one of the species that can be homosexual (or even bisexual). For other animals, eh, it's just sex except humans "need" it to be more than sex and we learned that it can also be emotional and... we have complicated the shit out of all of this because we're human and we can fuck shit up. Just my opinion but instead of beating our heads against the wall about what causes homosexuality, we should use that energy to work toward accept homo- and bisexuality as being just as normal as heterosexuality is supposed to be.

 

Absolutely!

No, Christianity is, and it's a choice. Things like gender dyphoria are caused by hormonal programming in utero. Christianity, or at least hate and intolerance, is always a choice.
