CreateDebate is a social debate community built around ideas, discussion and democracy.
If this is your first time checking out a debate, here are some quick tips to help get you started:
Arguments with the highest score are displayed first.
Argument replies (both in favor and in opposition) are displayed below the original argument.
To follow along, you may find it helpful to show and hide the replies displayed below each argument.
To vote for an argument, use these icons:
You have the power to cast exactly one vote (either up or down) for each argument.
Once you vote, the icon will become grayed out and the argument's score will change.
Yes, you can change your vote.
Debate scores, side scores and tag scores are automatically calculated by an algorithm that primarily takes argument scores into account.
All scores are updated in real-time.
To learn more about the CreateDebate scoring system, check out the FAQ.
When you are ready to voice your opinion, use the Add Argument button to create an argument.
If you would like to address an existing argument, use the Support and Dispute link within that argument to create a new reply.
It is genetic, I know that your stone age based personal belief system does not like it but it is genetic and it does no harm.
Just because you are religious zealot facts will not disappear... You can deny it as much as you want, create how many debates you want but guess what? It will not change :D
It certainly is not genetic. We have mapped the human genome, if being homosexual is genetic, then we should be able to see a genetic similarity within homosexuals. Genetics don't play a role in how someone acts or how someone wants to mate.
Mapped human genome means, that we have list of all genes, no that we know what they all do... There are many genetic mutation that affects behavior. "Gay gene" is a failed epi-genetic marks of testosterone overdose protection.
What is a man? A creature bound to its religion who says being gay is wrong? No, as a religious person I don't think so. We have the freedom to be whatever we want to be. It's our choice to lead a 'gay' life if we want to or just 'hide' is (really, it's been proven that there are more gay people out there than we might think).
I think it's also up to the parents of the fetus but...just give that kid the freedom it deserves. Love is unlimited and has many forms. I think being gay is not wrong at all.
I'd say straight because of the negative image gay people have. I would imagine that I would hate being gay, and that it would make my life worse.
I would be wrong..! I love being gay, just as I would love being straight, I don't care, but I'm happy and that's what matters to me. Any one who says homosexuals should e put to death or are going to burn in hell for their sins, can go burn in hell for all I care :)
And to answer your question- No, clearly we can not all agree that we should blah blah blah.
I could perform gay or straight acts if I wanted to, that is a choice. It's whether I enjoy them or not that I don't have a choice in. And gay acts appeal to me, straight ones don't. It's like choosing to enjoy pain or not- you don't get that choice.

Do you think that being a gay qualifies you to judge on this matter? I don't think so, simply because you are not "unbiased" on this matter. Same as the religious drone that you are standing against.
I love when so called tolerant progressives say how much they love gays, but would than allow a gay fetus to be aborted. To say that gays is not born is to me the very definition of homophobia. I also object to killing a fetus based on based on biological sex or ethnicity. So called tolerant progressive who allow these things are in my personal opinions bigots. All humans are endowed by their Creator with equal rights. Gendercide is not cool. Gaycide is not cool. Ethnicide is not cool. This is part of what pushed me away from that worldview. Joe, my statement is to answer your question, not to accuse you. ;)
Umms........ Naah, I don't think so ;) Now I don't want to bring up the whole "whittle mankind down to a perfect race" statement thing again, and start talking about you-know-who, but seriously man, instead of trying to eradicate it, thus encouraging peoples intolerance- grow the fuck up and accept the fact not everyone is going to be an exemplary human being.
Should we, for example, not figure out how to extend our life time? Should we not figure out how to make babies with a particular hair or eye color? What is a worth while en devour to pursue and what isn't? And most importantly, who decides? ;)
Homosexuality is not hereditary. If it were then it would have eradicated as there is no way it could have been passed on as Gays can't reproduce together.
I'm not saying that it is hereditary. I am asking if we should try to figure out what causes it, how to identify it in the womb, and how to reverse it. ;)
It's not a gene. It's just one of natures accidents. It's not something that is carried over, it's the result of a chemical reaction that occurred during the earliest stages of a person's body.
Well..., there are the gays who get thrown out of the house for being gay and their families disown them. Then there are the religious parents who think their child is going to hell. We could help both of those types of people if we could just make babies straight. And the gay marriage thing would go away, etc. I mean think about it for a second. An entire country divided because of gay marriage. We could fix that. And then we can all be divided on some other stupid shit thing ;)
Wouldn't it be much more useful to get rid of whatever it is that makes people stupid and ignorant like that? Not only will Gay people become more accepted, it will fix the world's stupid problem. Society would progress much more smoothly.
An overwhelming number of people disagree with you. That isn't part of this debate, check out this debate
Actually that is not true most people on the debate you gave me said it was a choice and Americans are divided about 51 percent against it being a choice with 49 percent being it for. The majority wins and even if it didn't God is the ultimate judge
Show me one- just one- case of a heterosexual man who believes homosexuality to be a choice, and has put his money where his mouth is by actively choosing to be homosexual- actively and intentionally changing what he is attracted to.
This really shouldn't be a problem to do, if it's true- if it's a choice, they can always change back, and Jesus will forgive them if they repent, right? Especially since, you know, they're sacrificing of themselves in service to their faith.
I find it far more likely that people want to pretend it's a choice so they don't have to feel like a bigot for persecuting them.
This is not matter of opinion it's genetic. No matter how many religious zealots will vote IT will not change, the epigenetics sequence was found and described....
which god? there is over 3500 of the only true ones ... just to know to which cult you belong :D
