The question regarding why homosexuals exist, either made by nature or transformed after born, has still one of the most intriguing unknown answers of humanity. Life constantly throws at us thousands of questions, many of which humans can’t find an answer to. Nevertheless, one always ends up choosing a theory, although not perfectly accurate, to believe in. This video contains studies of cases of child-gender-non-conformity, which means a person of a given gender is interested and has behaviors of the opposite sex. One of the cases was about twin brothers with exactly the same genetic makeup, except one of them was gay and the other one straight. If gay people are born this way, why aren’t twin brothers or twin sisters both gay and both lesbian? On the other hand, why would a normal person decide to be gay? In my opinion, the decision of either being gay or not is SOMETIMES optional. Like the 18 month old boy who picks up a Barbie instead of a toy soldier, their makeup pushes them towards things they like, not things they are supposed to choose because of their sex. At this small age the child doesn’t even know what being gay or straight even is. Sometimes, this only means the boy is feminine, but not necessarily gay. Although, feminine boys most of the time turn out being homosexuals. After a kid is born if she or he has a psychological trauma like getting raped by a person of their opposite sex, might probably look for a partner of their same sex because of fear. In conclusion, a person cannot be judged because of their sexual orientation; after all, the important thing is to accept a person by who they really are, not by whether you understand their decisions or not. “Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands?” –Ernest Gaines. I believe this is probably because people in the world rather see and do murders than accept change and difference. I believe these people are too close minded to open up their hearts to something dissimilar to what they see every day in the mirror.
