How can people think homosexuality is a choice?

and yet you chose to respond to this person instead of my post

...

If it's not a conscious choice surely it's not a choice?

Thanks for your input anyway

Maybe higher HIV rates in the US Gay community is down to your inferior education? For example half of you guys couldnt even name a European country besides England and France.

So clearly gay people lead a different lifestyle in one way or another that is more dangerous.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_Index. Hmm, yeah - 'inferior' education. Besides, how many states can the majority of europe name and point to on a map, huh? Also, geography isn't everything.

The common American couldnt even name the four Uk countries. 4 vs 50/52?

No, it indicates that an older generation of gay people engaged in unprotected sex. The younger. Generations are more aware of STD and are using protection. These generations, I believe, will reduce the gap. Future generations shouldn't be tarred because of previous ones.

So I tell him, Jesus tells us to love all.. so saying that is going against Christianity etc. Then he quotes Sodomy and Gamora.

Umm, the four uk countries: 1. UK 2. UK 3. UK 4. UK. britain is one country? I'm pretty sure people can name plenty of european countries though. Also, again - our education system doesn't suck and anyways, geography is not the most important class in the world.



The same applies to older straight people.

Just out of interest, what was your response to this point?

England, Wales, Scotland, North Ireland.

Great Britain and Uk is just a name that unites them?

Wow, hope this is a joke.

Naming European countries, and naming states of the US is not the same.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_states_of_the_United_Nations I'm pretty sure uk is a country, not the others, although I admit i often use england and uk interchangeably.



But the US is a large, diverse country - it is hard enough learning about the whole of the US, especially when the US is the largest and most important country in the world.

I just had a heated argument with some guy, and my frustration is what angered me to write this. He told me, for accepting gays and being cool with them, and treating them as I would anyone else I'm not a proper Christian - infact probably not one at all - because the Bible condemns them. He says we should all use Jesus as a model human.

I tell him about Lady Gaga born this way and he was adamant people aren't born gay, but they're brought up fooled.

I then ask how homosexuality can be a choice, when homophobic areas have higher suicide rates and by his logic surely they could just change back to being straight if it was a choice. He then says he wishes more homosexuals would commit suicide, and that homosexuals don't think they can turn straight.

So I tell him, Jesus tells us to love all.. so saying that is going against Christianity etc. Then he quotes Sodomy and Gamora.

He's obviously not just a closed minded pre-teen.. he knows his stuff. I just can't comprehend how people can believe it.

If any of you believe it's a choice.. help me out and tell me why please.

Edit: I'm just so angry right now.. sorry.. someone restore my faith in humanity

Haha, well played buddy, you are funny.

Most people are ignorant to the rest of the world, its that simple, nothing else to it.
Countries are alot more well know around the world, than US states, pretty sure of that.

When I was in NYC a guy who worked in a store didn't know we spoke English in Britain, and one guy thought we used USD. Gotta love **** like that.
