View On Homosexuality

Ok, recently I've had a debate with someone on my Formspring (http://www.formspring.me/mainstreetjake ) over views on homosexuality. Now, at first I was only joking around, thinking it was just someone being funny. Well, now that views are conflicting, and a heated debate has ensued, I thought this would be the best way to post ALL of what I want to say, so I don't have to compress it all into short messages. These are my personal beliefs, and you can take them for what they're worth.
Now, first off, I do believe that homosexuality is a choice, rather than something that's natural. My theory is, is that there's instances where babies are born, and they have both X and Y chromosomes. If this happens, the some guys are then, naturally having a "softer" side to them, and for girls, sometimes a manlier side. But, there are people who aren't "gay" because of this. How could being gay be naturally traited in a human? If it was, then wouldn't God have made Adam and Steve, and not Adam and Eve? In the beginning, God created Adam and Eve, and from there, an attraction to the opposite sex.

The person debating this against me wanted me to watch segments on youtube about this topic, and I did. But there was one story in the video that proves my point. A man was raised in church, and when he was in late Jr. High, his friends got a hold of a Playboy. Apparently, the images did nothing for him. So, he assumed that something was "wrong" with him. From here, he had to choose to either figure out what's "wrong" or act on it, and say "I'm gay. Those images didn't do anything for me, so I'm gay." So, from that, being gay is an action.

The person said I couldn't have gay friends, and have the beliefs I have. Well, yes, in fact I can. I may not agree with their lifestyle, however, I do have gay friends, and I don't judge them. It's their life, not mine. I'm always here to talk about my beliefs, and opinions, and I'm not going to force them upon a person, if they don't force theirs on mine.

After this, I am done with this debate. If you wish to talk to me more about it, send me a e-mail, or message on Facebook. There is a link to my Facebook on the right side of the homepage. And here's my E-mail - jacobmatthew1992@aol.com
Hope everyone has a good day!

Very well stated. The level of maturity you show as a 17 year old is awesome. I'm a gay male and was not offended in the slightest by your views.
