Homosexuality (or any other sexuality) isn't herpes, it's not like you can catch it, lol.
But you
can invoke it.
Gay does not exist. It is all about how open you are to the human experience.
Quoted for Truth.
Homosexuality like Heterosexuality is an ideology. It's something that anyone can be conditioned too. I and many other quote unquote "bi-sexuals" are living proof. Masculinity and femininity are social constructs. Many people "believe"(without a shred of scientific validation) that sexuality is determined by genes, that you're born with it, but
consciousness itself is not exclusively the product of one's genetic makeup. Environment has direct influence on gene expression, and
free will determines the response to whatever predispositions might be present. Sexuality is not an autonomic biological function, it's a
conscious resolution that you, "
your conscious awareness" took part in concluding.
Furthermore,
To say that “being gay” is genetic is to engage in science that hinges on a very historically recent and specifically European-American understanding of what being gay means. In Ancient Greece, sex between elite men and adolescent boys was a common and normative cultural practice. According to historians Michel Foucault and Jonathan Ned Katz, these relationships were considered the most praise-worthy, substantive and Godly forms of love (whereas sex between a man and a woman was, for all intents and purposes, sex between a man and his slave). If men having frequent and sincere sex with one another is what we mean by “gay,” then do we really believe that something so fundamentally different was happening in the Ancient Athenian gene pool? Did some evolutionary occurrence enable Plato’s ancestors to get rid of all of those heterosexual genes?
Hypothetically, let's say "homosexuality" is the product of a specific gene trait.(
For the record, it's NOT) Could it not then be theorized that there is a specific gene trait that causes people to be born with an opposition to "homosexuality"? That would then put the entire homosexual community in a Catch 22. It would be completely hypocritical, irrational and illogical for the "homosexual community" to expect these people and society to "change". How can they change, if they too, like them, are "born that way"?
To say that one is born homosexual or heterosexual is the equivalent of saying that one is born evil or good. People aren't born evil, people aren't born good, these are social constructs. Constructs that anyone can be conditioned too.
I understand that right now, in today's society it is necessary for the "homosexual community" to carry and promote this "born this way" ideology. Granted, this meme has been a literal GODSEND to those that are in the homosexual community and has helped shape and change moral perceptions all over the world. It has also brought us one step closer to total equality. I however, view this "born this way" ideology as just a set temporary training wheels. As soon as society learns how to ride without them, we will be able to get rid of them.
So I ask you, what sexuality label would you put on those that are intersex? Or what sexuality label would you put on a male with xx chromosomes? How about someone with gender/sex identity issues?(My favorite paradox by the way
)
What about those that are/become celabte and asexual? Were they born that way, is there a specific gene trait that causes them to give up all sexual inclinations, or did they make a
conscious decision and
put forth conscious effort to become that way?
Please, let's just leave the sexuality labels for the kiddies.
I envision a future where sex/gender itself, will one day be a conscious choice/decision. If sex/gender becomes a choice, what then is sexuality?
Imagination is the limit.
The future is littered with prizes.
SWITCHING A GENE IN ADULT MICE EASILY TRANSFORMS FEMALES INTO MALES
THE TECHNOLOGY MIGHT ALLOW FOR MID-LIFE HUMAN SEX CHANGES WITH NO SURGERY

One gene keeps Mickey from turning into Minnie
Even when Matson deleted DMRT1 in adult mice, FOXL2 was released and started switching on ovarian genes. Within a month, the testicular cells had been reprogrammed into ovarian ones. These cells produced oestrogen, and flooded the rodents’ bloodstreams with this hormone; meanwhile, their testosterone levels fell.

It now seems quite possible that a transwoman will give birth by 2020.
