All of the research I've read on homosexuality only pertains to male mammals. I know the scientific community is somewhat sexist. But can we get some more data?

We have a lot of theories, but the problem is, the case varies from one woman to the next. Typical causes include:
- severe [sometimes sexual] abuse from male relatives [and other men] at a young age
- wanting to rebel against their parents as teenagers
- wanting to be part of a group, even if it's one reviled by most people
- lack of faith in the religion the family follows (relates to the above abuse)
- don't follow any religion, or follow one that is more open to alternative lifestyles
- wanting attention
- falling for propaganda other L's tell them about, as well as feminazis teaching them to hate men
- being unlucky in the [hetero] dating dept. and thinking they'll have better luck with the alternate lifestyle instead (usually due to the common myth other L's or Allies tell them)
- admiring a strong-willed L they know
- getting groomed by an older L
- desperation [loneliness]
- using the partner as a living bank because they are terrible with money, were blacklisted by every apartment in town, and are lonely
- spending time in prison with only others of the same sex for company
- making a bad choice in life
These reasons are similar to why G's and B's exist too.
I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.--Margaret Thatcher
Wow
I'm sorry but sexuality is NOT a choice.
I know, I can't believe the level of ignorance and how she so confidently spouts such utter ill-informed garbage.
I suppose we could make a list about why bigots become so revoltingly bitter and nasty, but who wants to be at her level, really.
You forgot to add a natural attraction to the same sex from a young age
shareYou forgot to add how attraction for the same gender has nothing to do with sex at a young age. Otherwise, you could accuse everyone of being gay when they were little.

You need to quit lying to your mirror when putting other people down. The Alphabet people have been selling that lie that it's natural and normal for over 40 years and most of us still aren't buying it....save for you.
shareYeah that's why same sex marriage is now legal in most of the western world, because "most of us are not buying it". Try again dullard.
shareHow is it a lie? Please explain to me in detail how you have first hand knowledge that homosexuality is not natural? Scientific, please.
shareThat's right, AmeriGirl. I can vividly recall the time when poofters would argue vehemently that people shouldn't pick on them for being poofters, because 'everybody is allowed to choose whatever they want in life, and they choose to be poofters', so people shouldn't pick on them.
I remember seeing poof "marches" with weird-looking people carrying signs saying, "It's my choice".
Apparently that approach failed to persuade people, because people still criticised them anyway. So then they thought up the "genetic predisposition" crap, as if being poofters was completely involuntary, and they couldn't help themselves, like folks with Hemophilia or Down Syndrome, so people shouldn't pick on them.
One day they'll run out of excuses, and have to face the fact that their behaviour is the result of a mental problem. A glitch, as MovieBuff rightly stated. Although, having said that, I somehow doubt that'll happen. If they were bothered by mental problems, they would have been bothered enough by their weird homosexual habits in the first place, to quit. I mean, if an otherwise mentally-healthy person finds themselves messing about with the genitals of another person who has the same genitals, it surely should make them stop and think, wtf am I doing? And they could only continue if they had a mental problem that prevented their seeing it as weird.
Now, while I wait for the tirade of outraged denunciation from the sensitive folks here, I'll just say that I've known quite a few homos in my lifetime. And I've never attacked any of them, never fought with them, never tried to shame them or change them. Frankly, I just thought they were odd, and was puzzled about why they did what they did. They weren't important, or relevant to normal people and normal life.
And frankly, I don't think this whole social trend of accepting homos began as a result of their being attacked or harassed. I think it began simply because they wanted the attention. They like a lot of attention.
The American Psychiatric Association removed homosexuality from their list of mental disorders in 1973. You've got some catching up to do.
But while we're talking about mental health, this article might interest you:
https://www.psychiatrictimes.com/bigotry-mental-illness
This passage was particularly interesting:
Psychiatrists and other mental health professionals regularly confront extreme forms of racism, homophobia, and other forms of irrational hatred. Many patients holding these views are troubled and sometimes even disabled by them. Some individuals with pathological bigotry are frankly delusional, perceive themselves as "under attack," and become overtly dangerous to themselves or others. We should provide diagnosis and treatment for these individuals because we may be able to help them, just as we can help other troubled patients. For example, some extremely hateful patients may be helped with psychotherapy or antipsychotic medication.
LOL! The "American Psychiatric Association" removed it from their list, did they? So we should stop thinking whatever we're thinking and abandon our own opinions, should we? Wow, that's one powerful "Association"! They can even tell us what to think! Do you bow and scrape equally to any other "Associations", bananaman? Man, we really are a society of followers...
Your subtle accusation of me in that c&p article was a bit of a failure, wasn't it. Because nowhere in my post did I even once mention that I had an "irrational hatred", or "felt myself under attack", or was "delusional". Maybe you'd better read again what I did write. This time, notice where I said, "I've never attacked any of them, never fought with them, never tried to shame them or change them. Frankly, I just thought they were odd, and was puzzled about why they did what they did. They weren't important, or relevant to normal people and normal life.
See that bit? Did you understand it? Not quite "pathological bigotry" is it? Never mind. I know it's a knee-jerk reaction to cry "homophobia" and worse whenever anyone says they don't much care for homos. I expected it.
Yeah bud, I saw that bit, but it was somewhat negated by the amount of times you referred to gay people as "poofters" in your opening paragraph.
You can get down off your cross too, I wasn't accusing you of anything, you brought up mental health and I presented another argument regarding the issue. It's fine if you don't see any bigotry and hatred in the comments made by you and your friend AmeriGirl, nothing I say will make you see how hurtful your words could be, not only to grown adults, but also to young people currently struggling with their sexual identity. Picture a young gay kid who's a movie lover who is constantly bullied by small minded idiots and comes to a forum like this to share ideas and escape bullies, only to be told by some self-appointed psychologist that they are mentally ill and are not "relevant to normal people and normal life". Feel proud if you want, I think it's quite disgusting.
What, do you have trouble even being honest about it? Of course you were accusing me of something. And you yourself were being a self-appointed psychologist when you cited The Psychiatric Times to do it.
I've got no problem with my "words being hurtful". If there are young kids "struggling with their sexual identity", what they need is some common-sense guidance, not esoteric catch-words from folks who have already made up their minds to push them in the direction those folks want them to go. Do you object to people offering confused people a reasonable solution for their confusion? Or do you just feel that "struggling" people need to be told how to feel? That seems to be the default course of people who claim to "help" those folks.
"Struggling with your sexual identity? No problem, just think like everybody else thinks nowadays, and you'll be fine." I wonder how often those confused people are advised to do some serious self-examination to find the real reasons for their troubling confusion. Not often, from what I can see.
No, actually I quoted the Psychiatric Times to present some actual critical thought into the debate that has more substance than say "gay people are mentally ill because I say so".
Do you know anything about gay youth suicide and the reasons it's so prevalent? Many studies have found the suicide rates directly relate to experiences of stigma, prejudice, discrimination and abuse on the basis of being gay. You are feeding that stigma, whether you see it or not.
Well, you're ticking all the boxes, banana.
The "Appeal To Authority", (they don't have a disorder because the American Psychiatrists Association says they don't.)
The "Appeal to Emotions", (you should agree with homosexuality because some of them kill themselves, sob, and if you argue against homosexuality you're making people commit suicide.
I've seen some of your other posts on these forums, banana, and I must say you usually argue more honestly than this.
Now I have places to go and things to do, so I'll just sign off for the time being.

shareWhat causes female homosexuality? The same thing that causes male homosexuality or bisexuality. It is a complex interplay of genetic, hormonal, and environmental influences. This however does not mean that a person inherits the gene.
shareWhy is this board so obsessed with homosexuals and homosexuality?? Seems to come up a lot.
shareNon-stop... This is the first time responding to one, because I don't want to bump it up. I thought ignoring one maniac might help loosen the place up, so that real threads would be on pg 1 (as opposed to pg 4).
Why do you women like other women?
Big tits.
Seriously everyone stop posting to these. This garbage has to stop.
shareYou're right. Much as I love throwing firecrackers into the same shit-pits the sluags, shit-weasels, and bludrats wallow in, I have better things to do, like work for a living, or talk about movies people actually care about.
sharethis site is way better than anti gay crap.. I don't want those people taking over a great site.
shareMany times its done by someone with under 100 posts.
When I woke up today, NONE of the threads had a single topic about movies.
