is homosexuality a genetic disorder?

[bmbmm]

Homos have nothing to do with genetics. Its a disease and can be cured.

What about homosexual animals,do they have a disease or are they following the laws of nature?

salaam all,

i can't believe how people around the world are so "americanized"! let me explain:

1. being close to your mother does not mean you are gay, this is an americanized cultural syndrome where people demands freedom when they are 18 or above, where guys are glued to internet porn... when they have very little respect for their parents.(arnoldyasin was right, pornography is indeed very harmful despite its partial cure for stress for limited time.)

people in other cultures are also very close to their mamas, but that is twisted logic to imply that they are gay!!! for example, spanish, indian cultures are very family oriented and the boys grow up marryin' straight! what makes you say that they are Gay!?!

2. having sufficient knowledge on women's/men's clothing doesn't make you gay because hey, what if the guy wanted to pursue a career on clothing? (although in america it is assumed you are gay because of these characteristics...)

3. about understanding women's tastes and behavior does not make you gay... again, americanized misinterpreted culturul syndrome. it could be noted that you grew up in an environment with more females than males around you.


4. americanized teenagers try to show off their cold side... they feel that showing off thier emotions(such as crying..) is considered weak and feminine. women have complete control of emotions and feelings in america(for the most part) because guys worship their outer appearence...

based on these limited evidences, i now conclude homosexuality and its influence is more strictly related with "americanized culture" than anything else, i wonder what you guys think? am i correct?

peace, rifat

Peace rifat, all,

This is one of the more complex issues to deal with and I don't think there is any one answer. I believe there exists many 'reasons' for homosexuality.

First and foremost, and probably the worst in the eyes of God, is gross disregard for sexual self-control. This is animalistic, as can be witnessed in nature.

Second is social pressure. Boys not athletic or macho enough get picked on and passed over and labeled as "gay" from very early on. This gets amplified through adolescence and young adulthood until they realize that admitting to this label would open the doors and the arms of an entire culture of other gay people. Same for young girls who were "tomboys".

Third is upbringing and social damage. Kids brought up primarily by one or more person(s) of the opposite sex can fall into picking up those tendencies. More potent, however, is molestation at a young age.

And fourth is predisposition - whether genetic or hormonal or whatever, some people are just born attracted to the opposite sex.

I think in all cases, and I'm sure there are more, people can learn to undo their tendencies. I base this on the fact that people can curb other behaviors that are not accepted by society. But I wouldn't swear on it, because frankly, I've never experienced it. And if someone told me that being attracted to women is wrong, and that I had to curb this behavior, I really don't know if I could do it.

Peace,
Tay

Homosexuality is psycological disorder and has nothing to do with genes or hormones, that is what I - the expert believes  .
We know that Vinona Ryder had a problem with theft, psycological problem. This is not hormonal or genetic disorder.
I read sometimes ago about a women that has orgasm if being arrested... this cannot be hormonal or family tradition.
We know that people have orgasm through cyber sex. This cannot be genetic since there was no network 20- 30 years ago, right? and for sure its not hormonal disorder.
Its all in our head.

Sex starts in the mind; usually the more creative/forbidden in the psyche the more stimulating.

Regardless of cause, it is still a choice whether to act on those urges as in committing adultery.

12:24
And she desired him and he desired her, had it not been that he saw His Lord's proof; it was thus that We turned evil and lewdness away from him; he is of Our loyal servants.
