I believe that stress can be a cause of some of this style of thinking. I think some of the stresses of the body as a young child can cause some of this problem. IF you look at it as a problem. I am like JB in the fact that I am still looking and searching for a actual statement that comes out and says this person was this way from birth because of this fact. Thus far I have not seen any fact to support a person is born or society bred homosexual

What proof do you got. I can think of a lot of people who can use that argument like pedophiles, abusers, murders and all the rest who say they were somehow born this way and thats what they do even though its not normal for the majority. |

I can't explain being gay. |

This is my point and shows that there is nothing physiological about it. |
You all have valid points. As dougie pointed out many can not explain why they are gay they just are. I have found many a gay person say this statement. Even bisexuals feel this way. But to be able to base it as part of their mind or part of their DNA has yet to be proven beyond a doubt in either way. Being somewhat of a scientist I am one that needs to be shown conclusively that it is all in their minds or they are born that way.

Just because he cannot (as well as others) explain why they are gay, does not mean it could not be physiological. |

Usually with anything, if it cannot be proven physiologically it is considered psychological. |
As I have been saying all along. What makes a person gay is sexuality - period. Its all about who you chose to be intimate with, not who you chose to like to be more. Lots of guys hang out with other guys, but what seperates them is that they are not intimate. It is the intimacy that makes the difference.
Well, let's analyze that using a heterosexual male. When a man is attracted to a woman is it his brain telling him 'x' woman is attractive and 'y' is not? Or is it his body? Is the body overpowering the mind to be intimate or the other way around. See where I am getting at? What about for someone that is gay, must be the same principle since we are all human despite sexual preference.
