I was not "born gay" (No one is, and saying so is ridiculous as claiming someone was "born kinky" or "born trans")

Or born straight.

Say what you will about radical feminists like Julie Bindel, but she got it spot on when she said that most efforts related to finding a biological basis of homossexuality were accompanied by an eugenic lust for wiping out gay people before birth.

Homosexuality doesn't have to be biological to be a legitimate expression of human sexuality and affection, and the assumption of the contrary is brimming with homophobia.

And it makes me mad knowing that if I wasn't treated like shit and exposed to fucked up fetish shit I probably would've turned out healthy.

Oh my, the implications!

I don't know most gay man on this sub, but I haven't been exposed to any fucked up shit in my predominantly tradicional catholic upbringing.

But that's just me, I guess..

It seems to be caused by prenatal hormone exposure. Science has been turning out lesbian guinea pigs and monkeys for decades by farting about with testosterone and embryos.

Sexual orientation being innate has been a large part of the argument for making the religious nuts back off for years.

Religious homophobes don't give a shit if homossexuality is inate or not, as their beliefs are based on faith and social control more than anything.

Case in point: modern gay conversion therapy is most of the time a 'let's teach the gays how to cosplay as straight' kind of affair and not 'let's teach the gays how to feel horny for woman'. Even they know it's not possible to do this kind of shit.

The 'gay is inate' is more of a secular argument if anything.

Well yeah, I brought up that point too. No idea why the pro gay crowd are in such a rush to prove that being gay is something you have from birth, because that's exactly how we end up with selective abortions and wacky "treatments" on babies. Although, unlike intersex kids, people actually see homosexuals as good, so maybe that won't happen. Maybe they'll abort the straight kids instead lol.

a legitimate expression of human sexuality and affection

What do you mean by legitimate?

I haven't been exposed to any fucked up shit in my predominantly tradicional catholic upbringing

lol I was raised Catholic and still was. Doesn't matter how much Jesus is pushed on you if you have unlimited internet access + are friends with bad influences

That homossexuality is a natural extension of human sexuality and affectivity in the same way heterossexuality is. It doesn't need to be 'explained' at all, it can just exist like it aways had.

Thank god I only had internet access after I was 14 lol
