That’s not what I asked you. I’m aware the majority of men are attracted to women. I’m asking you why some men aren’t, and why some women aren’t?

Also- willingness to acknowledge same sex attraction has nothing to do with whether or not same sex attraction (or opposite sex attraction) is innate. If anything, it sounds like you’re saying sexuality is in fact innate, but many people suppress it.

You asked if it’s true that sexuality is innate, yet have offered no real reasoning as to why it’s not. Why would someone choose to be a sexuality that would get them ostracized? Why wouldn’t lgb people be more open to trans people who claim to be homosexual (but are definitively heterosexual) (also, why would trans people want yet another label -homosexual - that would ostracize them)? Why would homosexual people in countries where being homosexual could get them killed still engage in homosexual relationships if it’s not innate?

Basically- how is sexuality not innate? Exposure to oversexed media makes no sense as an answer because homosexuality, heterosexuality, and bisexuality all existed before media.

You've made the positive claim - there is innate sexuality. You have to prove that. I can't prove there is no god, but religious people are on the line to prove it. People have plenty of reasons for sexuality - trauma, being exposed to something at the time of sexuality discovery and certainly socialization. There are plenty of potential reasons to explain sexuality, but there is no reason to believe it is innate. Again, those who make the claims have to prove their existence. It was the our community who claimed it was to deflect negativity in a campaign for acceptance. It's clear sexuality can change. That is not innate.

Lmao so you’re saying that the billions of people who have said that they didn’t choose their sexuality have to prove this, even straight people?

But you don’t have to prove that sexuality is a choice? Makes sense. Totally makes sense.

Maybe gay people chose to be gay so they could be murdered, threatened, told their “lifestyle” was illegal and a sin against God, and have to spend decades fighting for equal rights (once it was finally safe enough to just be openly gay to begin with). They probably just did it because they were bored or something. It certainly took time, so it’s a great way to pass the time.

Eta- on a post full of ignorant nonsensical comments, this may be the top! Congrats.
