2. I don't see why it matters, but I think it is definitely a trait people are
Edited on Sun Jan-07-07 02:28 PM by Shell Beau
born with. My opinion is why would someone choose to live a certain way that would cause them such heartache in life. I am not gay, but I know it must be hard sometimes to be gay. I think the world has progressed a lot, but it is still a cruel cruel world out there.

5. poor choices
something can be inborn without being hereditary.

Much evidence suggests the hormonal environment of the womb has an effect - so a child can be born gay, without it being hereditary.

8. I am guessing the word hereditary was used incorrectly
to describe the "nature" half of the nature vs. nurture argument.

15. Animals are homosexual too
But if they're homosexual they won't have kids. So how does it get passed on? :shrug:

Are two possible facets to this issue, of which there are many. I knew a guy like that once...

19. Hereditary = inherited. How about a choice for "innate" or something?
This choice implies that it is a trait passed down genetically. Could it not occur naturally otherwise?

23. How about another option: "Why does it matter?"
Is it not how a person behaves rather than what a person is?

26. Locking.
Polls don't explain the world as it is, unfortunately, or we all would fit into an Excel spreadsheet.



Thank you!
