Yeah, we all have differences. For example, some people have a gene that allows them to process opioids incredibly efficiently (such as Ozzy Osbourne).

I can understand that if something like that WAS found, it would come with controversy, because people would want to exploit that, and "cure" it. Let's nip this in the bud, and clear the air... It doesn't need to be cured. For the record, however, I don't actually think that sexuality is as simple as brain chemistry, but it is likely to play a part. --- I tried to think of something clever to put here. <cite>Dyinglegacy posted [p:898566335] in Straight p...

Biologically speaking though, it is disadvantageous to the species "in the wild," Actually, most evolutionary biologists think it is a bonus to the species as a whole. Studies have shown that the more children a woman has, the greater the odds of each consecutive one being gay are. The theory is that it is a sort of built-in population control mechanism that also frees up the number of adults in the tribe to help raise kids ("Kin Selection", see below). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kin_selection <cite>CiIantro posted [p:898566342] in Straight p...

I'm not really sure what you are getting at. Could it be genes that cause homosexuality? Sure, it's probable and most research I've seen seems to indicate some sort of link. However, the exact same could be said about your food preferences or what sort of hobbies you have. So you have two guys, one that loves spicy food and one that doesn't. They may have different genes or traits that influence that preference. No one would say, "I can cure my spicy food preference!", so I'm not sure why you even bring it up. As for chemicals? No. Pretty sure they can measure those, at least enough to recognize a clear difference between homosexual and heterosexual people. CiIantro posted... @TheCyborgNinja posted...

I remember a friend saying that some researchers noticed that homosexuality in animals often occured in cramped conditions when populations were too large, so a natural population control is actually an interesting theory. Also, 'in the wild' is a hilariously stupid argument. You know what else happens in the wild? People die of preventable diseases and infections that we have developed drugs to prevent.

So do you feel the need to comment about it when you see two said fat, incredibly ugly people. Otherwise I guess the rest is nice. Men preferring women, even having a particular type, isn't especially aberrant behavior. It'd have to be a pretty radical and specific preference. Men preferring other men is aberrant behaviour, by definition, when only ~4% or less of the population (in the US in this case) is homosexual. I don't think many men have only one specific type of woman they're willing to sleep with. When answering the question "Do you think there is something wrong with gay people?", I think voicing my personal feelings about gay people is appropriate in that context. It might be a weird comment if the topic were about something unrelated. --- http://steamcommunity.com/id/Esrac/wishlist/ <cite>Esrac posted [p:898568106] in Straight p...

Otherwise I guess the rest is nice. </quote> Men preferring women, even having a particular type, isn't especially aberrant behavior. It'd have to be a pretty radical and specific preference. Men preferring other men is aberrant behaviour, by definition, when only ~4% or less of the population (in the US in this case) is homosexual. I don't think many men have only one specific type of woman they're willing to sleep with.

There is no need to be condescending. You and I both understand how language works and that using that term combined with, "I find gay people disgusting" might send a specific kind of message. There are other words you can use and if you use loaded terminology it's going to raise some eyebrows. Like, let's say your boss' parents weren't married.
