Is Being Gay Genetic? - Dr. Christopher Yuan 

Not at all. There are plenty of gay fathers and lesbian mothers out there, biologically speaking. What the species really needs is the encounter of the gametes. It doesn't matter if the father and the mother was being pleased, experiencing, were really attracted to each other, were married by financial interests or had sex once with the opposite sex and after that, they've chosen to sleep with same-sex people. In the absence of feromonical heat, of course heterosexuality plays a role as a facilitator to this process. But heterosexuality is not essential. If the whole humanity was gay and lesbian... It wouldn't disappear. They'd find a way to provide the "gamete encountering".

Because that’s another thing science has been so very wrong about. The majority of bees in a hive will never procreate. Are they useless? Of course not. They serve a purpose and it’s not always procreation. Homosexual people are less likely to procreate. They help balance a species population. They can procreate if they want to. They have all their sex organs. But they are less likely to. For example, 80% of bottlenose dolphins are exclusively homosexual. They have lifelong pair bonds, full on sex, everything. But if they were all heterosexual, there would be way too many of them in the ocean. God, nature, whatever you believe, controls all of this. Homosexuals are put here on purpose.

Heterosexuals are essential. In theory humans could maintain a race without sexual attraction and reproduction but in practice it would be very difficult to carry this out effectively on a mass scale. Even moderate declines in birth rates can have devastating impacts on societies

@@scottm1594 That was not tested to be affirmed. We only know how is to be a species in which there is sexual attraction, and heterosexuality is majority. Considering this situation, heterosexuality is a facilitator, not essential. And we do have gay and lesbian parents. So, yeah, we can supposed that, if in this situation, there are gay men and lesbians who were able to reproduce without "need", they'd probably do if they need. HOW they'd do it, we don't know, because we don't know how is to be a species like that, that was never tested and we don't have any empirical evidence as we have with gay parents.

@@jeffneedham6875 I'm guessing you're straight

Im pansexual and I agree with Jeff. I had a sexual awakening, I used to be straight and basically chose different. Choosing your sexuality is like choosing to be happy. Everyone say's if it was a choice they would choose the easy one but we make choices that make us angry or sad all the time. We can make choices that make us gay and we can make choices that make us the other kind of gay lol.

@@adenjones1802 correction: you used to think you were straight. Then you discovered you were pansexual. You were never straight.

@@miloslavmasar Bullshit, sexual awakenings are a thing. Your sexuality can change. Can you please not tell me what I was or wasn't. I know what I was back then and I was genuinely straight. I know this because I tried to see if I was attracted to men and it didn't work. Sexuality is not a fixed thing.

@@adenjones1802 lol you're so dumb, sexual awakening means discovering your sexuality. As a multisexual person you were blinded by your attraction to the opposite sex. As a gay man, I was never attracted to women therefore I was never straight.

The problem is that no study has yet detected a Nature cause for Homosexuality, instead of Heterosexuality. Even identical sibling studies, have resulted in a conclusion that Environmental factors are NECESSARY, for homosexuality in post pubescent people. Indeed, the closest thing to Nature... Was a series of minor physical features in present in men, that occurred statistically more often in gay men than straight men. None of which are guaranteed to be present in gay men. And they can all be present in straight men. Literally nothing else present at birth or during adolescence... Can be said to physically determine homosexuality post puberty. Leading to the conclusion of either Freudian Environmental Factors determining homosexuality in its entirety... Or there being a choice ( _consciously made or not_ ) during puberty, that is subsequently made semi permanent by the same factors reinforcing Heterosexuality.

@@Paulthored It is clear to me that it is not cut and dry. I've seen many people with similar childhoods ending up being homosexual and heterosexual; however, it does depend on how someone will go about their own sexuality. Some people will suppress their own sexuality for their lifetime. Whereas, others are more open, and expressive about their sexuality. i.e. if someone was bisexual and gets married to the opposite gender early in life, they might not find it necessary to come out as bisexual. Also, we see homosexuality a lot in the animal kingdom. It is most commonly seen in penguins, and porpoises, and well humans. All of which, live in communities, have a single litter number of one with a long gestional period, and have homosexual couples adopt and care for orphans. It is very common for homosexual couples in the animal kingdom to adopt orphaned young of their species (or even other animals), and homosexuality seems to be more common for animals with long gestational periods, and smaller litters. It seems to me that homosexuality is either an adaption or simply a consequence of having that live in groups. Yes, environmental factors do play a role on how that person goes about with their sexuality. Our expirences form our character. But, from what we see in biology; homosexuality is more nature rather than nurture

@@Paulthored well it is found to be genetically linked as twins are more likely to have the same sexuality it's not set in stone but genetics is involved

@@donnykafkaesquianis7518 Do we have evidence of Homosexuality in animals... Or, is it the animal equivalent of a Heterosexual Human hitting on someone in Drag? Even if someone is able to show animals that have supposed homosexual behaviors... it's not like that matters for humanity, even if through some miracle they could show intentionality in the animals actions. _I mean, just because you have genetic influences for Alcoholism doesn't really mean that we should indulge ourselves in Alcoholism, now does it??_

@@arianagrandaremix8858 Even if that were true, it wouldn't convince me about genetics having any sort of sufficient influence to matter for purposes of the LGB individuals giving up responsibility for themselves in this matter. Which is the main reason why LGBTQ advocates want there to be a genetic reasons for their desires. _(Obstinately because of the reasoning behind Race being considered a protected class. It wouldn't matter whether it's healthy/moral or not for people to act on homosexual desires..._ _if you were to be considered akin to racist, for objecting to those homosexual actions._ _I know that's why certain groups have justified teaching sexuality, & other woke/LGBTQ, stuff to prepubescent and younger children.)_ I would also point out that just because they're twins, doesn't mean that it's truly the genetics that influences their sexuality post puberty. Just off the top of my head, since twins are most likely Raised together... It would reinforce the Expert's conclusions about how environment works to influence sexuality. Especially when the alternative would preclude any real deviation in sexuality. But I still doubt whatever you've sourced that bit about twins from. Though I don't believe that I denied any genetic influences on sexuality. Just that no one can claim to have been conceived, born, or grown up with a particular sexuality guaranteed by their bodies. By that logic Heterosexuality would be considered the Norm. Because most people end up Heterosexual by nature then. (By at least 95%) Which would be a piss poor reason for regulation of sexuality regardless. And not one I would be convinced by. Peace!✌👨‍🏫

@@blakeemel3819 yep. There are no actually a gay gene. We also have studied that in college. There are no people who born gay, they always follow their nature like male always attracted to women vice versa.

@@mreggs69copied text you all just have s3x with men as unhealthy way to identify with men unconsciously...you feel that you are different from other men and don't feel like you belong to them or you are similar probably you had problem identifying with your father and was more attached and identifying more with ur mother and other women as a kid that's why you grow up feeling curious about men and not interested in women and because this happened at very younge age probably first five years when you were developing your gender identity and s3xuality specially at age 3 so all think you were born this way and have always been gai but this isn't the truth. you all don't need to have s3x with men what you all need is having platonic relationships with men and indentfying with them again stop seeing men s3xually and start making friendships with men and do men activities then gradually this attraction to men would vanish and you will find yourself attracted to women without even trying when you start to feel that you are also a man like them and no difference between u two and will start to realize that the real difference you have with and the real interesting gender is women and not men. Yes gai people can change there are many cases you proof it you all might think they are lying to themselves but they were honest they couldn't believe it too that they start to feel genuine attraction to women and are now happily married to their wife I'm not talking about conversion therapy this s*t is so bad all they do is just telling you that you are a sinner and you will go to hell and torture you making you h ate yourself more because they don't know the problem that's why they always fail I'm talking about something you should do urself without any help of conversion therapy but seeing a therapist would help this in case you want to change and aren't comfortable with gai lifestyle which majority of you I believe are it might be hard and it won't happen in one night it might take months or even years but it's not impossible and st the end you will get the result you also have during this time to stay away from gais and p0rn videos better to not have s3x with anyone at this time you will find yourself hate s3x with both and women and will turn to be as3xual for a while but then you would start to realize the change that you doesn't crave men like you did before and start to focus more on women but you shouldn't force yourself to do that it should happen naturally you don't have to feel bad and h are yourself and convince urself you will go to hell it's not about that it's about ur relationship with men and u have to be really patient and understand that you are a man and your true self isn't gai but straight and you burried ur true identity for years living the gai lifestyle think about it like that u put a seed in the soil to grow a plant(being straight) but the seed didn't grow and instead a harmful weed took it's place( being gai and attracted to men) it would all make sense

unless you're forced to have sex with someone then its a choice

@@mynameisgreg4179 so rape then

@@mynameisgreg4179 Ur a Choice🙄 and i say hell nah

I hope you’re not trying to “prove” that being gay isn’t a choice...

Well all the current scientific studies suggest, is that there is no evidence of a way to determine if someone will have homosexuality after puberty... At any point prior to puberty. At least, no way that is determined by someone's body, baring some kind of birth defect or similar. ie: No one is born gay, or guaranteed to become Gay. The above scientific findings, coupled with the multiple accounts of formerly gay individuals changing their sexual orientation... Accounts of a autobiographical nature. Basically means that either homosexuality can be a choice made during puberty, and then enforced by the same thing that enforces heterosexuality... (not saying that it's necessarily a conscious choice, just that it happens) Or, like the scientific studies suggest, that homosexuality is a result of mostly environmental factors. Factors that could be controlled, in theory. I prefer the option where it's a choice, not simply a result of Freudian Factors. Aside from that, just because it's a choice, doesn't mean that it's any kind of easy to change that choice.

"The capacity to reproduce is much more important than one's personal preferences." Really? What about monks? People have the freedom to marry and have their children. Even for heterosexual couples. Homosexual couples can have their (one-sided) biological children if they want to.

Everyone can reproduce and were in a time where reproducing is not that important and above that its the people choice of reproducing or not

If you are a man who is uncomfortable being with a man, why would you be with a man? Same goes for if you are a man and you are uncomfortable being with a woman. Why would you be with someone you aren’t comfortable with or can’t connect to in that way? Not everyone wants to have kids. And I believe truly loving your partner and being comfortable in your identity and who you are is more important than being able to reproduce with your partner. Not every Hetero couple can reproduce either. There are other ways to have kids and still live a happy life :)

poulation control

@@zoekrueger720 most heterosexual couples can reproduce 99% can. But no homosexual couples can reproduce

Does it matter who it is if they are citing scientific sources?

Well, from what I am to understand, the myth that people can be born gay... or even just more likely to become gay... Was the result of a songwriter and popular singer, implying that homosexuality was something fixed in the womb. So if anything, a doctor of theology is a step up from the usual celebrity endorsement. As an aside, it amuses me to think of the parallels with Richard Dawkins, a expert on biology... Who thinks that he's being clever when he promotes his Theological thinking about Christianity.

@@sebastianbancroft7184 exactly; it shouldn't matter, therefore there's no need for it to be mentioned. we can either assume the creators are incompetent by adding the fact that he is a doctor in theology by putting doctor before his name, which is irrelevant info, or we can assume they are ill intentioned and tried to misguide the viewer. either way, it's bad

@@Paulthored you're saying lady gaga invented the born this way narrative? lmao amazing

@@leehoohn1379 I’m curious as to why that makes them incompetent and/or guilty of misguiding the viewer? I think you’re lying.

Yeah I've read its in the brain. Apparently a brain scan was done on cis straight men, cis gay men and trans mtf and discovered a gay man's brain is closer to the way a female brain is and a trans mtf brain is seriously close to the brain of a cis female. I haven't actually looked up on that experiment in a long time mind...

@@HorrorHistorys if that's true, it's either a minority or something that happens after puberty. Multiple studies have concluded that aside from a single indicator, that is statistically more often found in gay men than straight men... Nothing present at/before birth, is a guarantee of homosexual behavior in people post puberty. Physically at least. Though this page draws doubts on even purely learned behavior... www.comprehensivesexualityeducation.org/ Edit: Was the Trans guy taking Hormones, or similar transitioning drugs?

@Nick Garrison even if it makes you happy, I wouldn't stay silent about your decision to chop off your arm. Same principle. Similarly, homosexuals are deeply involved in affecting heterosexual lifestyles. To the point where LGBTQ advocates are trying to say how people can raise their children. To claim that the 3.9% of the population that is LGB, doesn't affect the remaining +95% of population... Is at best wishful thinking.

Every action you take is in fact a choice. Even if you believe in every way you only have one option that's never actually the truth. And desire literally does not mean you should act on it. How much better would the world be if people with ill intent chose not to act on their desires? Both of those statements are fact and in no way homophobic.

If a person desires to steal something, even if it’s something small, should they act on it? You tell me🤷🏻‍♂️

Exactly. And I’m not sure it’s so “fluid” either, like they claim here. I’ve never known a man that magically turned gay or straight as an adult. Maybe they finally acted on it. But they were repression those feelings their whole life.

Praying to remove attractions (make straight) is not what christianity teaches but to accept our reality,offer it to God and choosing not to act upon our attractions.Removing homosexual attraction might not be possible,but choosing not to act upon it is.Not easy but possible😊, there's christianity.

Resurrection

You've made your choice, and you choose to continue in this choice. Admittedly, changing your choice gets right hard after the choice is first made in puberty... And that's ignoring those who actually do oppress the 3.9% of the population who have homosexual feelings. But nothing says that there isn't a choice involved. [There's certainly nothing science can detect that indicates homosexuality is resulting from being born different. (Excepting certain extreme birth defects... thing's on the level of hermaphrodites) ] So you're not born gay. And unless you're insisting that you're gay because of Freudian environmental factors, nothing you encounter growing up guarantees that you will exit puberty gay. So the only logical option seems to be that homosexuality results from a choice ( _consciously made or not_ ), made during puberty... And then the usual processes of puberty, make it difficult to subsequently change that decision.

Um, that was the entire argument for homosexuals being considered like Race is. It's the idea that you can be born Gay/non-heterosexual, and since there's nothing you can do about that, you should be allowed to trample over any objections to exercising said sexual desires. There've been studies looking for this gene, specifically because of said myth. Though nothing has been found that physically indicates sexuality in any age group that hasn't been practicing homosexuality for years.

People kill and die in this pursuite of a mate and in the animal kingdom there are creatures taht will have ne shot at mating beforee the female klills them and still they pursue it , Homosexuality is likely a concometant occurance that comes about with a fair amount of regularity as a result of the forces of sexual selection and some reproductive advantage that is effective enouggh it continues to be selected for without the fact of sometimes homosexual out comes being enough, So perhapws a set of traits taht correspond with higher rates of female fecundity amd interest in sex which will ocasionally emerge in the phenotype of a male with those genes in his dna who for some reason doesn't have some other workable alternatives on his one x chromosome so interest in male sexual parrners ataht usually shows up to give women a boost in chances to mate p-resentys in a male but since it is 1 in 100 males say the traits will continue to be conserved beecause they are so much more beneficial than the hit of a few whomosexdual s are and there could also be ways in whcih homosexuality is either irrelevent like when marriage is compu;sary or where the other assets that result from a homosexual or two or therr in the familly mean taht those traits are maintined though a weel selection method.

Exactly, your actions are a choice, your feelings are not.

@@juanmanuelmoramontes3883 Sadly this is choice because love or definition of love is extreme obsession or infatuation with an individual by choice. These can be made due to social interaction/stigma, connection or relationship with individuals, and also up bringing/environment. The population of gay people to heterosexual has always been very low and has only blown up more in recent years which is perfectly fine. However even if we where to say it is 100% genetic what purpose does it surve? From a biological stand point men are attracted to women because they can reproduce children the only function of the male genatalia hence the shape is literally to penetrate and impregnate women and surves literally no other function outside of being pleasurable. So it is counter intuitive to physical biology to be attracted to a man if your a man unless this new genetic evolution is a dysfunction or it is a choice based on upbringing and social norms or constructs of society. Pluss you cant attest to other animals breeding habbits because we are a completely different species and we really have little understanding of the reasonings they have for doing similar acts. Im not hating just not cool with oh its genetics no its luxury and now socially acceptable choice.

@annie villegas : Yes, I agree that the video is saying that even if you can't control who you like, you can still choose who to be with. However, it seems there's a subtle message saying "just because you are gay, doesn't mean you should act on it." I think it's fine if people who do feel same sex attraction choose to love someone of the opposite gender. But if it's telling gay people that you shouldn't choose to be with a person of the same gender that you like, then there's a problem. @D K : There's some theories of the evolutionary purpose that being gay serves. One theory is the Gay Uncle theory. It suggests that having a gay relative, like an uncle or an aunt, can help increase the survivability of children in the family. Instead of needing to provide for their own families, a gay relative can help take care and babysit their nieces and nephews.

@@angelanavarro9961 Men and women can fill those same roles and not be homosexual just saying the theory doesn't make sense especially in women dominated cultures like some in Africa. From a science stand point it is a useless evaluation that doesn't provide any benefit.

@@Donky_Kongs_Baby i mean gay genes are there and it did survived so it must have an evolutionary benifit

As he said, same-sex attraction is not a choice, nor is it a sin, but acting on it is. LGBT activists try to conflate the two saying that if same-sex attraction is not a choice, then acting on it isn't either. But that is not the case. We all have desires that we must resist throughout our life. A poor man might have a desire to steal from the wealthy but whether they act on that desire is still a choice.

Did you not watch the video? Genetics play a small role in sexual orientation in general. You cannot simply predict who will be gay/straight based simply on dna. Why cant you just accept the data instead of hold bias? Being gay is not a choice in terms of attraction but its not innate in a person either. This then leads to the fact that sexual attraction is *existential* rather than ontological like many claim(basically to claim that you were innately born to be gay which cannot be true) The only thing that is a choice is the choice to act on that attraction in the act of sex, the same choice heterosexuals have.

@@ricoparadiso the lack of predictability on DNA for sexual attraction may just be limited by our own understanding of genetics instead of genetics itself being insufficient in explaining sexual attraction. You can't say either explanation is proven or disproven, it's all still conjectural. The video is more of a point of view based on evidence than a scientifically proven series of facts. There's a lot of leeway to hypothesize over this theme

I'm gay, I'm too lazy to leave the resources I read to get my "verdict" but my personal conclusion, is a mix of everything, homosexuality is at least in some cases affected by genes but not 100% determined by it, just like with the transexual topic, the brain development in the womb might be also a factor here, when our brain developes in the womb through the exposure to certain hormones is when we might acquire certain things, I think that is somehow related, then it comes the social and environmental part, whatever it is it might differ from case to case, I don't see any point in judging from there, the feeling itself is independent of what you want, can't be changed consciously, and there should only be respect.

You only think that because you are straight, maybe you shouldn't listen to the people so far away from the actual issue and listen to the people directly involved telling you that it is most certainly not a choice. You wouldn't understand because you have never had to go through it but as someone who has I can promise you that who you are attracted to isn't just decided.

@teacupcabaret it depends on the way that you are saying it is a choice. In your case I believe that your feelings are entirely valid and that, that may be a choice for you. In the case of the original comment just saying "being straight is a choice" they are trying to invalidate other people's emotions with that statement. For the majority of people it is not a choice so saying it is, is saying that their emotions are not real. I believe that your emotions are real and you deserve to feel however you do but the issue is this person invalidating other people by saying everyone can just choose to be straight. Even if some people can. I and many other people I know can not. And nobody deserves to feel invalid.

It is impossible for gay couples to pass on their "GAY GENES" , "Gay Chromosomes' , "Gay DNA",or "gay genetic markers" because 2 sperm, 2 men, 2 women, or 2 eggs can't procreate, make a baby or pass DNA to offspring. Only OPPOSITE SEX can procreate and make babies. Not Gay Vouples. Therefore, being gay is definitely not genetic at all. NO GAY IS NOT GENETIC. If being gay was genetic, gay people would have ceased to exist a long time ago BECAUSE TWO GAY PEOPLE CAN'T PROCREATE.

OK, well science still has the same data lining up with the Bible. Catch up.

Can confirm as someone with a christian science teacher

Yep I would totally chose to be treated badly

Im so sorry about that. Im christian but i'll always support my lgbtq+ freinds

@@trumps.vaginal.cancer4233 but didn't the new testament said that gay is wrong. Love doesn't require approval, you can love a person and not approve what they say or do.

Well, there's no other good explanation for this difference in sexuality. They've already ruled out any Physical component, that is present prior to puberty. And what is present afterwards, can to the best of my knowledge, only be the result of the lifestyle. Not a cause, as the best case is only a statistical increase of a couple of percentage points. And is also present in heterosexuals. So the best explanation is that it's something chosen during puberty, that thereafter becomes rather difficult to change... Especially if you don't want to. But there's ample evidence that it's not impossible to change it. (Though by no means easy, or quick. ) After all, I keep hearing about people who were heterosexual, right up until they "came out". Why would the reverse, be so impossible?

@@Paulthored I agree, if I understood right, people can change that desire the same way they got it on the first place

Not perfect harmony. Surface level agreement. I encourage you to check out his story.

@@thoughtsbyhope6973 if u couldn't achieve perfect harmony in this manner then u just don't want to. Surface level agreement as u put it could be key in a better society...Doesn't matter what his story is.

That would mean that people cant discuss opinions anymore, i dont care about harmony first off bc its impossible but that would mean we would all live in our own circles of ignorance without acknowledging the other side Btw what would you say to your gay friend that might trigger him? That just sounds like you were gonna say something homophobic bc none of what was said in this video would trigger anyone

@@joaoballan2080 lost me on the trigger part...but what's the matter with living in your own social circles? And discussing opinions on certain topics like this between certain people who stand on what they believe is a waste of time. I'm sure no matter how many opinions u hear nothing will change how u feel.

@@outsideyourbox7505 first off, i dont care about feelings, like ben shapiro once said facts dont care about feelings and i can assure you that me and my friends have changed opionions multiple times and even if i dont change opinions its very important to acknowledge the other side of the argument

3:37 “Dr. Lisa Diamond... has provided EXTENSIVE research demonstrating that sexual orientation is fairly fluid, not fixed, especially in women.” You are more than welcome to look up her research if you’d like 👍

@@sebastianbancroft7184 Women are more socially susceptible to behaviors

@E B academic.oup.com/endo/article/152/8/2937/2457178?login=true "There is thus substantial evidence suggesting that sexual orientation, and homosexuality in particular, is influenced before birth by a set of biological mechanisms. " Not exactly the same words I used, but the idea is the same. Take in factor that on the contrary, the Hypotheses for the impact of the post-natal social environment on sexual orientation are weak, many studies show no influence of parenting and stuff on sexual orienration.

Kinda, as a pansexual person I would liken it to your emotions. Can you control your emotions? Sure, with some difficulty but why bother. We can control whether or not we are angry or sad but its hard and shouldn't be expected of people expect when necessary. Also personality is basically choice

"nothing wrong with responsibly acting on those desires" - keyword "responsibly". This conversation is usually mired in judgments about people's behavior. Christians call it "love the sinner, hate the sin". Normal people just call it judging people for their actions, not identity. Gay culture in the West has a history of celebrating irresponsible actions. This does color public perception of individual gay people through stereotypes.

@@TriggeredJelly - Yes, I agree, keyword, "responsibly." I think it's entirely appropriate to judge irresponsible actions of any kind, whether sexual or not.

​@@NotGoodAtNamingThings Thank you! You're the first person in a while to not call me names for trying to have a rational judgement on a gender/sexuality issue. Not subscribing to tribal beliefs, be they left- or right-wing, is effing painful. People get defensive of their cherished identities really fast, even if you're polite.

@@TriggeredJelly Yeah I agree with you to, As a Gay myself I think we all should do Things responsibly

“Completely natural” So are alot of other horrendous activities. ❤️❤️

"a lot of scientists would like to get rid of us" Most effective way of saying the swing of your sexuality is the focal point of your existence

Did your father raise you?

@@VoxelMusic no, but to a person that wants us gone, yes. Does that make sense? ;)

The digestive tract was never designed for sex that is why soerm mixed with feces can't procreate a baby. Anal fissures, loss of anal sphincter Tone, fecal incontinence, personal abscesses, tears, bleeding, gay bowel syndrome and oral throat cancers from genital HPV occurs with use of the digestive system for sex. Gay is a BEHAVIOR. Gay is not genetic at all because 2 gay men, 2gay women. 2 sperm and 2 eggs, 2 transgender people with SRS, and transkids who never gone through puberty (used puberty blockers) can not make a baby or procreate with each. If you don't go through puverty, the REPRODUCTIVE system never develops, grows or matures to sexual functioning. Therefore, it is ABSOLUTELY impossible for GAY to be genetic. Transgender is just conversion therapy for gay people. They would rather a transdaughter with neovagina than a gay son who uses his anus for sex.

@Sassy Slarfy Gacha I'm sorry you're girl, would you like me to refer you to a lesbian single girl?

Pretty sure he is gay and you don't have to be gay to search about it and say that is or is not a choice ( We know it is not a choice ). No one have to be homossexual to talk about homossexual behavior. The guy in the video didn't said it is a choice, he only said that it is not genetic.

There is no such thing as "right to say it". Anyone can say whatherver they want.

@@pedrofernandes2466 Whenever I say "right to say it" I mean that they dont have the authority to say it. For example, I am not black so I cannot definitively say something about being black. However, a black person can tell me something and I can be a messanger. The difference between those two is that in the second one I am getting the information from somebody who has actually experienced it. Also in your first comment I wasn't talking about the man in the video. There are lots of people in the comments saying that being gay is a choice.

@Mister xXx just let people express their love in peace, will you?

@@pedrofernandes2466 you can say whatever you want but it doesn't hold any weight. It's not possible to have any kind of personal understanding of something you have not experienced. That's like a man trying to explain to you how it feels to be pregnant. He can reiterate things hes heard or seen but he we never be able to tell you how it feels cuz he will never know.

@@rangersbulls1855 most people can't remember that shit. It just happens, subconsciously. We don't really think about it unless we grow up in a religious household or have an overly conservative environment growing up.

Its just like being heterosexual. I am heterosexual, but I personally do not act on that urge because doing so would be unwise for me personally. I live a more impactful and joyful life by behaving asexually.

@@imsavor Many people who had homosexual attractions in teenage became heterosexual eventually. Similarly, many changed the other way around. An objective look at the evidence suggests that homosexuality is a reinforced behavioral pattern, as is heterosexuality or any other kind of sexuality. However, since all sexuality is repeatedly reinforced to the point that it drills into your subconscious desires, none of them can be changed on a moment’s whim once set. It takes a monstrous and relentless amount of time away from previous sexual outlets to develop new sexual outlets. And for every one day that you experience a new outlet, the old outlet will try to draw you back for probably months. Effectively, it is impossible to change sexuality once it is set. Theoretically, it is possible but it will literally take like a decade of highly miserable/sex-deprived retraining, as many years as you may have spent training your mind on your existing sexuality. For example, being straight and going out to voyage with only men on board for say 7 years will, no doubt, bring in a homosexual element at the end of the trip. Could happen to girls too. For the first few years of existing outlet deprivation, you will have wet dreams through that outlet, but that will change, once you attach yourself to the new outlet emotionally more and more. Anyway, moral of the story is you cannot change your sexuality once it is set, not unless you go through extremely deprivational circumstances for your existing outlet. And no matter how you attempt it, it will make life hell for you. If you retrain perfectly then that hell will end in a decade or so, but if you can’t retrain perfectly which is more likely to be the case (you know how relapse is), then you will just be subjecting yourself to prolonged, possibly lifelong hell, for something so subconsciously ingrained that you will never find the strength to change it.

Please think about what you’re doing. Read at least one of these studies and articles to learn about how your attitude affects the long term health outcomes of the children you communicate this sort of information to. www.cdc.gov/msmhealth/stigma-and-discrimination.htm www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5127283/ www.google.com/amp/s/childmind.org/article/lgbt-teens-bullying-and-suicide/amp/ There is EMPIRICAL evidence that the best quality of life and health outcomes for LGBTQ+ people occur when they are surrounded throughout their life by accepting people who promote their autonomy. By spreading negative-reinforcing info to children, you are contributing to incidences of suicide, self harm, and long term trauma. I don’t think you should be able to handle that kind of senseless suffering on your conscience, please reconsider what you are doing.

I don't hate homosexual people I really don't I enjoy their company just as I enjoy straight people and I love them the same way but I know if I tell people I am Christian and I don't accept LGBTQ community they will bash me out and cancel me in a minute. That's the part that really hurts many christian nowadays because Christians are being attacked n silenced for their beliefs. God gave us rules and boundaries for our good and we face consequences when we break them in one way or the other if not today we will face it tomorrow. There's a law and balance we need to follow and you can see how lost people are now-a-days so much chaos, so much hatred, fights, wars etc that's going on today if people really don't realise it today and don't pick up their cross it will be too late to repair the damages done.
