> [@Miller](#): > > What evidence do you have in support of that belief? People are not born gay, and they’re not born straight either. No one is “born” with a sexual preference; sexual preferences originate during adolescence/puberty, not at birth. I believe that a child who grows up in a normal, healthy environment will be straight when he or she hits puberty; if he or she turns out to be gay, lesbian or bisexual, my theory (emphasis on “theory,” seeing as I’m not an expert) is that it may have something to do with unusual childhood experience (molestation, exposure to pornography, etc.). > [@](#): > > There are a large number of couples in the US who are incapable of having children. Homosexuals make up only a small percentage of them. Is homosexuality more unnatural than being post-menopausal? Why? > > Also, can you define how you’re using the word “natural” here? Homosexuality is not “natural” because the way human beings were created/designed is indicative of the fact that procreation is meant for opposite sex couples. Males have sperm and females have ovaries. The only way for procreation to work is when male and female organs work together. > [@](#): > > Homosexuality doesn’t cause AIDS. HIV causes AIDS. Far more heterosexuals world wide suffer from AIDS than do homosexuals. I’m not an expert on HIV or AIDS, but I do know that one of those things can be the result of homosexual behavior. Not to mention, bleeding from the anus is another result. > [@](#): > > Yes, well, “hate-monger” does seem rather strong, I’ll grant you that. Although, honestly, why I should care what you _like_ is beyond me, given the attitudes you’ve already expressed about me in this thread. The attitudes I’ve expressed about _you_\*? I didn’t even know you were gay.\*\*\* All of my responses to your questions are inside the quote box. It was a mistake. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-we-should-get-used-to-saying-president-christie-yea-or-nay/674448)._
