Is having homosexual feelings a choice?

[Smash255]

Find me a homoesexual who says they werent abused mentally or physically, or raised without a male influence, and still are gay, and i'll show you someone who's lying.

It's a shame whats happened to them to turn them in that direction.

they are ALWAYS a product of their environment

It is not a biological thing that is predetermined

Thats ABSURD.  I have gay friends who had a great childhood growing up.  Were not abused in anyway and grew up in a 2 parent household with a mother & father and they turned out gay.

everytime I hear that line in that commercial, "twelve men, one boat, what could be better?"  I think about JC.  still, it's just a random free association, I suppose.  I'm no psychologist.  still, I cannot imagine how much coaching it took Rove & company to get the president to answer that line correctly at the debate.  I actually asked some folks that very question, both gay and straight, and they all claim that they never made such a choice.  I'm inclined to believe them.  who, among you, is such a clarivoyant that you can honestly say you know they're all lying? 

I retract the big turd I attempted to dump on your question, nclib.  I see now it was an excellent question.  my sincere apologies.

Angus, you've just heard a heterosexual say that he cannot determine why he is straight.   I think that is honest answer.

Exactly.  I'm heterosexual.  i have no clue why I am, I just know I like women.  I didn't choose to think women were attractive i just do, same thing with gays.  They didn't choose to like other guys, or fine them attractive they just did
