Are Straight People Born That Way? - Alice Dreger - Health - The Atlantic
The best scientific argument we have for the innateness of straightness is that evolution would favor it. But a poll of sexologists raises some interesting questions about arousal.

From the article:
Says Bailey, "if you can't make a genetic male be attracted to other males by rearing him as a girl from early in life, how likely is any socialization theory of homosexuality or heterosexuality? I think not likely," at least for males.
Some food for thought for all the choicers on the board.

There is no choice in sexual orientation. This is one of the most obvious things in the world.
The only people who believe so are hardcore religious people, and they know this because the Bible told them.
It's pretty ridiculous IMO.
With all the negative stereotypes around gays why would anyone choose to be so?
Plus all the science to the contrary. It just doesn't hold any weight.

Lulz. I know a few people who have had a great family and turned out homosexuals.
My uncle was gay told my grandparents and they abandoned him, I'm sure he wanted that.
Like I said the argument holds no weight.
It's sad people continue to be so ignorant towards the issue, Canada is doing better these days. Obviously there are homophobes, but being one gets you ridiculed in public.
Michigan State does not and will not run the 3-4 defense.

Sadly, on tBB, being a homophobe gets you upvotes.
Seriously, why is it ok on here to call people "f_ _" or say they're gay like it's a bad thing? Do we have a ton of 12 year olds on here? I don't consider the 4 letter F word as bad as the 3 letter F word; the former is a general expression while the latter is a specific demeaning word aimed at belittling a group of people.
Rant over.

Meh, men are more likely to be conservative than liberal on average. People on this board are slightly more likely to be from the South, where they're more likely to be religious- and self-righteous.
I feel like the younger generation is better at avoiding those stereotypes, in large part because of the prominence of gay celebrities and shows.
Lebron James is easily the best basketball player in the league currently...

So the ability to oppress people is more important than letting people have the freedom to practice what they believe?
I don't believe forced conversions have the same holding power as ones that come within oneself.

Are straight people born straight?
