#1- Gay Marriage y/n?

[Rowan13]

Actually, studies show there is no biological difference between homosexuals and heterosexuals, so therefore it is still somewhat of a "choice" to be homosexual. We choose the life we want to live, and your environment as a human being completely effects many things. If you were born in an isolated place for 20 years where you learned that being gay is normal, that would probably effect your mind.

I'd also like to let you know I am not even against gay marriage, rather, I don't believe it is beneficial, the wording of the topic was silly in my opinion. Two of the following pier reviewed journals/paper support their claim on the findings and reported results of neuroscientist Simon LeVay, from '91.

It is very easy to commit the mistake of saying " studies show " w/out actually having something to back it up. Fortunately I on the other hand have a couple of studies that say otherwise.

Sooooo "homosexuality is a choice" seems to be a pretty clearn "no-no".
