TIM£ 2,060 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Biology and evolution pretty much provide reasoning behind all human behaviours, we are a social race people because we survived by working together, killing humans is generally considered wrong because it was a deterrent to that. Certain characteristics are universally considered attractive because they demonstrate good genes aka wide hips on women and muscles on men etc etc tec. So why are people gay? There have been examples in the animal kingdom and logical explanations behind why, so why are humans, animals themselves gay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koalafications 223 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Some people are blonde, some are brunette Some people are tall, some are short Some like the D, others like the V But biologically speaking, since homosexual couples can't reproduce, it can be for population control?

NovembersChopin 3,296 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Being gay is not an error. Socially it is not an error. I think the OP didn't mean it in an offensive way. If we are looking at it from a scientific perspective, it is indeed likely a genetic mutation. As species, our roles are to procreate, and anything that hinders proceation or natural selection is considered a 'mutation' Homosexuality has a predisposing gene to it, so in some ways it is somewhat fixed (with ofc some environmental factors associated with it). that is why its not someones fault if they are gay because they can't help it. It is not a choice. Hence, socially in our society, homesexuality should not be looked down upon. I have nothing against gay people and I support gay rights 100%, but there is a bit of truth to the OP's post. just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gay couples cannot naturally reproduce and and keep mankind alive. The fact that you're attracted to something you're not supposed to be attracted to is an error.

Sexuality is something that develops and changes, not something that exists are remains in the state from the moment you leave the womb. Everything about human nature can be justified if you studies us like animals and look at our biological reasoning, human beings complicate it. Sexuality is confusing because sexuality doesn't develop to puberty, and people don't truly understand it till later hence why it causes confusion because they don't fully understand their sexuality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANTI-IKON 1,013 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 People connect on a emotional level and those feelings lead to a romantic or sexual attraction. That can be an answer. ---------------- Besides that, we should be open to the idea that sexual orientation is not dictated by someone's gender. If we strip away gender rigid identifies such as male and female, then there wouldn't be such a debate people falling in love with the opposite sex and why are they homosexual. Society is very heterosexual exclusive but should catch up to the new norm in the modern world in which new gender identities are popping out like hot pancakes.

ANTI-IKON 1,013 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Imo, it's a genetic error. It's like being dyslexic, or color-blind. I know. Why isn't it? Gay couples cannot naturally reproduce and and keep mankind alive. The fact that you're attracted to something you're not supposed to be attracted to is an error. Doesn't mean it has to be a bad thing. It's just, not the way things are supposed to be, like color-blindness, albinism, etc. 1. Mutations are a natural process in DNA which create genetic diversity. Its a drop of water against the larger scope of natural processes in evolution. If you are basing your argument about homosexual being an error because it is a mutation then you are inherently saying being gay is also natural. That alone invalidates your argument that "it is not just the way things are supposed to be." From that point on: not all mutations are bad or "errors." Some can be beneficial and most dont make a difference in a population gene pool at all. 2. Displaying a certain type of emotion and feeling an attraction doesnt come from a genetic disposition. Thats actually psychological. 3. Your narrow-minded assumption that the purpose of humans in nature is to procreate fails. In actuality, humans being gay doesn't defy the laws of nature nor is it an abnormality because same sex coupling have been observed in other animal species. Also, some men and women are infertile.

Sexuality is confusing because sexuality doesn't develop to puberty, and people don't truly understand it till later hence why it causes confusion because they don't fully understand their sexualityI understand that, but even biological research cannot determine sexuality in the same way that it can determine the characteristics that you mentioned in your opening post. They are unable to find clear and definite marks that all homosexuals share because sexual orientation is not genetic. It's a chemical matter where the 'activation' (which can happen before puberty) depends on epigenetics, a chemical modifier that can alter the heritage but not the DNA structure. From what I understand, epigenetics are present in every Human, so anyone can be a homosexual, but it does not always go for the area of the DNA that is associated with sexuality. So how is it possible to predict or expect sexual orientation beforehand? It's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
