i kno for a fact its a no, so i voted that. www.answers.com/topic/sexual-preferenceIn my personal opinion, you have a choice to choose. Let me ask you this, do you have a choice to put ketchup, mustard, pickles, etc. on your hamburger? You do. You also have a choice of your sexual preference. Yes, it may not seem like you do and most places say that you don't have control over it. They are not entirely correct. Yes, it is a lot easier to go by what you feel is correct, and trust me, that is the way you should go but I am telling you. If you love somebody that is the same sex as you, that is your choice. For an example. I am a male, if I loved this other male the way a "gay" person would love one another that is my choice. Do you understand what I am saying? Let me ask the girls here a question, I have to know this. Are you attracted to other girls at all? Don't lie. Even if you are not "bi" or "gay" do you think one another is pretty or beautiful?... I know for us guys, it is hard to say it to other guys if we are entirely straight.

look, yes we can decide if we want mustard or ketchup on our burger, but we cant decide if we like them. i cant just one day say, i think im gonna like pickels today it doesnt work that way!
i can decide whether or not to date a guy, but i cant decide whether or not to like them. get what im saying

I believe you can decide. While it may not appear you can decide at first glace, let's take a look at a very similar "disorder?"
While there is debate on whether or not homosexuality is "right" amongst world views, we all pretty much agree that excessive anger is forbidden and should be dealt with immediately, to ensure no one gets harmed. Now, do you think that a person has a choice in order to be angry or not? While most of us do, it seems like some are born with a natural instinct to simply be mean. Can they choose though? The answer is yes. While it may take a lot of work from exterior and interior forces, you can overcome anger problems. I have seen this first hand through many, many people throughout my life - it can be done.
Now, parallelling this to homosexuality, while it may seem like we are "born" with the natural urge of attraction to the same sex, we can overcome it. While it may take lots of work to break the, for lack of better term, habit, once can overcome.
1 Corinthians 10:13 states that if we are tempted, God will always provide a way out. God will never tempt us beyond what we are able to overcome, you just have to want to overcome the sin.

Okay Im probably wrong but I thought people that were born with too many X Chromosone things would more likely be gay and a girl with too many Y Chromosones most likely be lesbian. I learnt that in sience class

Can you please post your sources as to where you are getting this
"being gay is not a choice, you cannot choose your sexual preference!"
If you have no substantial evidence, I suggest that you mark it as your opinion, to allay confusion.

So why is it that guys AND girls can go through most of their life thinking they are straight then come to find that they are gay? Its a lifestyle. I think you can choose to be whatever you want everyone in this world has control over everything they do not what others do but what they do.
You control every action you take in life whether its about who you love have sex with or when you brush your teeth. All it is,,, is choice people choose the be gay because thats what they like just like if someone chooses to be a pro baseball player they become a baseball player because they like baseball.

I kindof agree with Emo Kid, cause I know a gay guy, and he didn't want to be gay, he just felt sexually attracted to men. He even said he didn't like being gay, but he couldn't change it. But I believe that if you try and work at being straight, you probably can. That's my oppinion though, because I have always been straight.

if its a choice why would they find out and why would some gays be so mad about it. its your choice to date a guy, but not your choice to like a guy Same reason people get frustrated when they accidentally break out into a rage, and then realize it later.

I find that you can and do choose your sexuality, whether you are aware of it or not. It's a very complicated feeling and emotion, which is why it is hard to detect and hard to change. You have full control over what you want to be, but if you try to change, I think people may find that they don't want to change, no matter how much they're pushing themself to change.
