What I believe is totally, completely, absolutely irrelevant.

That question belongs in a medical section, not this one.

As far as I know, no hormonal irregularity has been found, but some people say that they have a difference in certain areas of the brain.

Still, it is unknown why homosexuals are homosexuals.

According to a theory, the sexual social role of the individual develops during the 3 to 9 years old period.

Some homosexuals have been found to have smaller parts in the brain responsible for hormone production. I forget the name of the brain part. Hermaphrodites are often born both sexes because of a lack of certain hormones. However, I don't believe that is the sole reason why people become homosexuals at all.

I do not think it is a hormonal imbalance. I think it is probably related to an abnormality in the brain (structural). I think it may also have some underlying psychological issues attached to it (gender confusion, gender identity). Somewhat related, I did see a documentary about transexualism where they were finding postmortem abnormalities in the hypothalamus. A really good question. I think people are afraid to talk about it really. As if when we talk about it, we are somehow less accepting of a homosexual person.

A difficult Question and speaking as a Straight man i think its a little old fashioned to say that Gay people have something medically wrong with them,they are born that way and have no choice, they can camouflage their sexuality for appearances sake like they did in previous generations but they will always feel trapped and unhappy.In a free Democracy everyone should be free.

As a heterosexual I don't think it's possible to know the answer to a question like that. Every homosexual I've met says they're born that way and I'd have to take their word for it. I do think *some* people choose it for various reasons. However I wouldn't rule out the possiblity that they're born that way.

I don't think that its a choice but I don't think that they are born that way.I think that they are inhabited by a demon.there are many different types of demon possession.Some demons cause people to become addicted to drugs and alcohol.Some cause people to rape and Molest children.Some cause people to become compulsive liars or gamblers.Some people can have many Demons and Display all of the behaviors acquired through them.I do think that homosexuality can be overcome.But the person has to really want to change.I hope that I am not being Judgemental.I am just expressing my ideas on the subject.

No, I think it's something within the brain, such as the hypothalamus. A hormonal irregularity or imbalance would suggest that you could "treat it" with drugs.

It's wrong, We all have male and females hormones, maybe their hormones are mixed up.or maybe they've been hurt so bad. Only a man knows what makes a man feel good, and the same for women. I pray that they get it together before the Lord returns.

Karma, Life Path Aspects

There are several important aspects of people's life that are influenced by their karma. Your karma can affect your love relationships as well as all your relationships, your work, career, power position, marital situation, wealth and poverty situations, finances, personal abilities, to name some of those aspects.





Your Relationships and Karma.-

The interaction between your karma and relationships starts with our childhood family relations and goes into all our relationship life. It becomes projected into our social space of relationships where we learn about human situations and all lessons in life. All our relationships are likely to occur within our social space influenced by our karma, and it is within this space where we eventually get in contact with those special others, including soul mates, through karmic connections and learn with them some fundamental lessons.







Soul Mates.- The most special ones within the scope of karmic connections are the soul mates. Those mean a personal compatibility that is well above the rest of people within our karmic connection.



Relationship Learning.- What is common in all the relationship learning through our reincarnations is that every particular relationship is chosen to grow within and know how to develop a full attachment and also learn how to break free from one that meant a bond from past lives not implying duration for the relationship. (vows and pacts done in past lives involving others that are met in this life, by example)







All the learning process in relationships involves trials and errors before the necessary growth, development and evolution is completed. The difference in spiritual level may mean for one or both of the partners an imbalance leading to unhappiness, depression and hard setbacks, even tragedy for the relationship despite the strong feelings involved. But the end result tends to be that both partners internalize the lessons from their shared experiences, each one in their own way.



Some Types of Relationship Karma.- Love addicts, victim-victimizer, rescuer-rescued, persecutor-persecuted, dependency, retributive, infidelity and betrayal are terms related to those types. To see about these go to Karma and Relationship



The karmas we have seen so far are of the negative types. Solving them requires a learning through lessons that will change their make up within our inner mind converting them into their opposites, positive ones. The important thing here is the change of their negative mental patterns, and, fortunately, you can use psychic methods to work with your mind to achieve that.



and i do not believe the same thing about karma compared to the buddists out there

i belive when we go to heaven all are thoughts will be carryed with us but we will live with god for eternity there will be no other lives earth will be destroyed by god

Actually, psychological studies have determined that the greatest evidence agrees that sexual orientation is genetically determined, at least in part.



A question for those who think it is a choice- could you simply give up heterosexuality and CHOOSE to be attracted to the same sex?

My child, it is nature. The liberation of gays will cause them to pursue childless relationships. Their gene will cease to pass on and the world will eventually have no sexuality. do not be afraid my child.

No more than women are.



Or men.



The idea that gays are semi-women is an old canard. The latest studies show that it is a difference in preference which is hardwired in the brain. Pumping a gay man full of testosterone will just get you an aggressive gay man.



There have been top male athletes who are gay and wimpy little mama's boys who are gay. There have also been straight versions of both of those stereotypes.

There is continuing medical research being done regarding why gays are gay. We do know that a gay person's brain functions differently than a heterosexual's brain does. We've seen it directly via functional MRI examination...

Irregularity? Imbalance? No. Homosexual behavior is normally distributed human behavior.

No. They are born with an affinity for the same sex. Hormonally, they tend to be the same as heteros.

Some might be Many are turned that way when they are young. By dominant mothers or other homosexuals that start them down that path.. Many reasons why they do it..

But in the end it is a choice.

Why ask on R&S? why not ask on a medical board, or on the gay and lesbian board.

No.



Sexuality is a societal construct. We are all sexual creatures. Choosing who to be intimate with lies solely upon the person, however, enormous pressure to stay hetero leads to unneeded hatred and strife in our world.
