What's a Boy To Do

Nature versus Nurture

Michael Lehet on 11.25.09 at 2:00 PM | no comments

Is homosexuality a choice or are we born that way? 'Nature versus Nurture' is a debate that has been going on for decades - if not longer - and yet there's still not light at the end of the tunnel. Do we as homosexuals "choose" to be gay or are we born gay?

National Geographic attempts to tackle this touchy subject by taking an in-depth look at identical twins, one of who happens to be gay. The gentlemen that they spotlight are Chicago natives.

Personally, I think that we're born gay. Why would I choose to be a part of society that is looked upon as a second class citizen, treated with hate and disgust, denied rights at every turn and ridiculed by churches around the world?

What do you think? Are homosexuals raised to be gay or is it just the way they are?
