That is barmy steve, people don't choose to be gay, its not a lifestyle choice, that is how they are born, end of story

Gay children are the product of heterosexual parents.

How come they don't grow up aping the sexual orientation of their parent/role models?

Is it perhaps that sexual orientation is genetically preordained, like height, eye-colour, or level of stupidness?

People are born gay.

Just as some are born thick.

Since we can't decide on our height, or hair colour, the sexual orientation a person's born with, is the 'norm'.

Whatever that might be.

Maybe in most cases, but when I was a kid I lived up the top of Fielding Lane and on a farm near us lived a farmer, his wife and thier two sons. One son was your typical strapping farm lad, the other, younger son was as gay as a lord. My mum was friends with the farmers wife and she told her that when the second son was born she really wanted a girl and for the first few years of his life he was basically brought up as a girl even to the point of wearing dresses and playing with girls toys. Could be just a coincidence but I'm not so sure.

Mavis Davis wonders why some people don't do a simple search, using the handy forum search facility, so we don't replicate subjects that have been discussed in depth already.

See.

Genetics.

Some are born dimmer than others.

I take it you haven't ever travelled much further than Fielding Lane?

There are plenty of tattooed, knuckle scraping, rugby playing, gay men, who wouldn't know a scatter cushion if you hit him on the head with it.

Just as there are many totally straight, weak little men, who love nothing better than shopping with their wives for just the right shade of lilac potpourri.

What was your mother hoping for?

Disappointment can be such a terrible burden.
