Voluntary vs. involuntary

Is homosexuality voluntary or involuntary?
That has to be one of the stupidest questions you asked. You can't even apply the work "voluntary" or "involuntary" to the concept of sexual orientation. A sneeze is involuntary. Eating is voluntary. Go buy a dictionary.

Carry on.
Yes, you are absolutely correct. But rolling7 seems to have a bit of trouble with the concept of cause and effect. If the horse is dead, you cannot kill it again. If a homosexual has already been born, you cannot beat them into heterosexuality.

I can see I struck a nerve ... a simple yes or no would have sufficed.

That's not the same thing as throwing it at people who are passing by.

Thanks for the study. If I ever have to do research for school again, I'll come back to this. (I'm a medical freak, forensic too.)
Repeating "we are animals" "are not" "are too" is how children argue. Are children even allowed in the GLBT Lounge? Or any other relationship threads?
Aside from the bisexuality factor, which BTW was a great point for the "choice" side, hetero vs homo is not a choice. Rebuttal: bisexuality does have differing ratios (50/50, 60/40, 70/30, etc.), those ratios are genetically set and resistant to change, at least on the physical level. Emotionally, I don't really think orientation affects that too much.
Of course, those who say it was a choice to be hetero/homo may just mean that they either choose to accept their inane orientation, or try to resist themselves from it. I chose to accept myself.

There have been people who have known to do that as well. They are severely mentally ill. Does that make them not human?

Are you referring to chronological age or mental age?

According to The American Heritage Stedman's Medical Dictionary, gender means both "The sex of an individual, male or female, based on reproductive anatomy" and "Sexual identity, especially in relation to society or culture."

It's weird how a grammatical term in recent decades came to be used for human sexuality.

Wasn't referring to you so don't flatter yourself. I was referring to a banana hitting a police officer.

The thought of even the slightest hint of what you mentioned makes me throw up in my mouth.

So, humans who behave like animals are severely mentally ill.

That is, humans who behave like animals are not behaving in a normal human manner.

Because humans are not animals, they normally don't behave like them.

No, humans who throw poop are severely mentally ill. Not all animals throw poop. And you know, they say animals have a keen sense of who to trust and not trust. Maybe they are demonstrating their distrust of the person they are throwing poop at. As in, "get the hell away from me! I get the evil vibe from you!"

Normally? For the mentally ill person throwing poop it is a normal behavior.

"Fraid there are scientist who disagree with whether humans belong to the animal family. We fit right in there with the primates. Bonobos have 99.9% of the same DNA humans do.

No, let me clarify. Reba did not mention human behaviour in regards to animal behaviour. That was brought up earlier in this discusiion when someone mentioned homosexuality exists in animals as well.

The difference there, is that it isn't actually homosexual behaviour - it is the alpha male claiming dominance.

Ask a Zoologist, not a crack head psychiatrist from a party school.

Cite me a case there, Steiny. Because what Reba said was animals throw poop and people don't. That means if a person throws poop, they are not human.

Yes, she did.

Keep it up Steiny. You are going to make me out you once and for all, and I would really rather not humiliate you like that.

BTW...I am a psychologist, not a psychiatrist. Can't you even get your insults right?
