So I want to know your opinion. Where you born this way? or did you learn to be what you are? In media people say "You were born that way' When reffering to Homosexuality/Bisexuality/Etc. However I believe personally you learn to be that way. Sooo...what do you think? Love to here from you!

I don't think it's a matter of we learn it or are born this way, but rather we just are
And I don't know why people are so insistent on finding out the cause of how homosexuality started out. I mean, are we really that biased when it comes to seeing sexuality?

I'd say more so "born this way", of course I think that there are certain things in a person that were just there since birth.
@ Gordums: I think that the reason why everybody wants to find the "cause" is because we simply want to know. The human race is very curious, and we like to act like we know everything, and if we don't, then we're going to try damn hard to do so. Either way, I agree with your first part fully.

@Gordums: I have to agree with Mystic on the curiosity thing.
@Mystic: You're very wise. Oh you like Le Miz! Ever since choir last year I've wanted to see it. Just can't get ahold of a copy of the movie :3

Ive always felt that being gay/lesbian/bi in itself was something you're born with and the sex you are attracted to is something built in by genetics or hormones. however I do feel that our preferences to that ceartain gender are something we develop over time.

Born that way.
Considering the media still doesn't show a lot of LGBT related stuff (since the majority of it still is heterosexual relations related), and I know when I was growing up I never saw anything about LGBT until a music video of t.A.T.u. - All the Things She Said when I was in 7th or 8th grade in which I responded in a way I thought I was supposed to respond in.
Besides, there have been queers throughout history. Not much to deal with influencing, and if they were caught there were severe punishments. Depending on what era you were in and where. But in some societies it was accepted just as it was and there were no consequences or rewards.
You simply are who you are.

Born this way.
I didn't want to be bisexual. I didn't have anything against people of other orientations, but I felt sorry for them because they had to deal with so much discrimination. But, lo and behold, I started getting butterflies around a girl. I didn't understand why it was happening at first. It was a surprise, and I discovered my orientation rather than choosing it.
In the same way that I can`t pick a random person off the street and say to myself, "I'm going to fall in love with that person," and just do it on command, I can't choose which gender I am attracted to. I don't understand how it could be a 'choice' or a 'lifestyle choice.'

I'm bi-sexual. I absolutely believe we were born this way. I mean I remember times when I was way younger and was looking at girls, of course I didn't understand it then but I later really started realizing who I am and I embraced it. This is who we are whether we're straight gay lesbian bi-sexual or transgendered. I don't see why anyone in their right mind would want to be an outcast of society, ridiculed beat up and looked down upon because of who they are attracted to or how they feel on the inside.

Man I thought this was going to be about the Lady GaGa CD can I give my opinion of the cd anyways? Also I believe we're both like we are born this way but if you're born into a family who does not approve of homosexuality I believe you eventually come to the decision you're straight. Like one time I was watching True Life on MTV, and the title of the episode was "I Want To Be Straight" and it was about two people one guy and one girl who were both trying to change their homosexuality and they both had one common factor neither of their families approved. So although I feel we are born homosexual I think society and our families make us who we are.

I thought it was a good cd as a whole but it was far from her best I mean especially the song hair that song was just completely stupid. I understand it was a metaphor but it was a stupid metaphor.
And thanks :3

I think it really depends on the person. I do believe that some people are "born this way" while for others that may not be the case. Some people may always feel the same level of attention toward a gender(s) for their whole lifes while for others it may change over time. This can apply to gender identities as well. I don't think there is anything wrong with it either way, it is just different for different people.
