If a male homosesual can father children though conventional sexual performance, would not that mean he was bi-sexual and his orientation towards other males is a choice or preference as opposed to a biological compulsion that cannot be changed?

Do you think gays and lesbians could change their sexual orientation if they wanted to?

I think they did.

In other words, do I believe in free will? Yes.

I love the use of polls to prove “TRUTH”.

At one time, the majority of people thought that the earth was flat, that the Sun Revolved around the Earth, and that veins and arteries were filled with air.

Today the majority of people believe that behavior (in this case homosexual) defines your rights, the Earth is getting warmer, and that polls define scientific fact.

Sad how little has changed....

Should have been a two question poll.

Second question:

“Do you think heterosexuals could change their sexual orientation if they wanted to?”

This is a ludicrous question. This is like asking beastophiles, pederasts, rapists and necrophiles if they can alter their behavior. We have prisons full of deviants who are there because they can’t or won’t alter their behavior while the rest of society alters their behavior and/or their orientation to stay within the law.

I’m not sure I’d even want a gay to “change back”. I mean, would I date a guy who use to date guys?? Uh, no.

My own theory is that there are two types of homosexuals: hardwired and acclimated.

The hardwired homosexual became so in the womb, due to whatever hormones were floating around his mother's system.

The acclimated homosexual is one whose first sexual experiences (either consensual experimentation or by being molested) were homosexual. Like a baby duck adopting the first living creature it sees as its mama, people get imprinted by their first sexual experiences.

The hardwired ones can't change.

The acclimated ones can.

It is my opinion that the majority of homosexuals are not hardwired.

They should qualify the question: “If professional mental health treatment was available where needed”.

I have a better question. Would homosexuals still be gay if they were not sexually molested as children?

No, it is impossible for people to restrain their sexual impulses.

No, wait...

There is no genetic test or procedure (experimental or otherwise) that can determine one's sexual orientation. When people claim to be gay and we believe them, what we're really doing is taking them at their word. We believe their claim, we believe their testimony and we believe their declaration that they are gay.

But there are some people who are suddenly skeptical when one claims to be ex-gay. They don't believe the ex-gay claim, they don't believe the ex-gay testimony nor their declaration that they are ex-gay.

When somebody uses a certain standard to measure the credibility of what one group says, but then refuses to use the same standard to measure the credibility of what another group says--thereby ignoring the claims of the second group (ex-gays)--he should ask himself why he believes one group and not the other... This is a double standard.

How about this for a follow up? If you responded Yes to the question, would you let your duaghter a men who had changed his orientation?

Funny, "straights" can become "gay" but not vice-versa.

Ironic, that.

This poll may as well say: "Do you believe an alcoholic can recover and stay off the sauce for the rest of his life?"

Those who say "no" do not believe in the Grace of God to do the impossible, IMHO.
