Apparently listening to these bands make you gay

Actually, there are quite a number of studies on this subject.

But you honestly believe you can wake up one morning and decide you are sexually attracted to the opposite sex and wake up the following morning and decide that day you are sexually attracted to people of the same sex?

You say "everyone knows what you mean" I haven't a clue....I could no more change to which sex I am attracted than I could change the color of my eyes.

I'm sorry I didn't mean that as in me or alot of people. I am like you too I could never just change to liking the same sex, I'm completely straight, I was just trying to use an example and I guess I"m just finding it really hard to explain lol sorry I'm probably confusing people. I guess what I mean is that people change their minds all the time. And some people may want to 'try' the same sex just to see if it wouild work out or if they would like it, and some might decide they do, its just like how some people want to 'try' drugs and then once they try it they know if they like it or not.

Anyways I agree with the below replys, I also believe that men and woman are suppose to be together, but that doesn't mean I think gays are wrong, I think people have the right to choose what they want and I respect them for that. Anyways I"m going to be quiet now lol I don't know how else to explain myself. sorry if I confused people.

I don't know what the answer is to the sexual orientation question; whether it is genetic, a choice, or a mix of the two. However, I will throw my own first hand observations out there. One of my good friends was a lesbian from high school through parts of college. She had a few girlfriends and that was what she was attracted to. I dated her best friend, so we hung out a lot. She broke up with her long time girlfriend and did not have a relationship for a few months. Her next relationship was with my best guy friend and they dated for years. To this day she is still straight and dating guys, she no longer has an interest in relations with another female.

Either way she's still a friend and I honestly think she chose to no longer be a lesbian. It really was her choice.

Also, living in Southern California and growing up near Hollywood it seemed that people were changing partners left and right, male or female. However, we all know that area is not the most normal of places.

Some "straight" people do experiment with the "other" side, either for short or long periods, and go back to heterosexuality. Others continue with their interest in both genders, and are "bisexual."

I believe that for some people, yes, they can choose their sexuality, whereas with others they cannot. Yes, some of you out there believe, for religious reasons, that they are just choosing to be immoral. OK, picture this. Say the rules flipped around all of a sudden, and "heterosexuality" was suddenly immoral and considered "un-natural." Could you *all* honestly say that you could then happily engage in a homosexual relationship? Be genuinely sexually attracted to a member of your sex? Love them? Want to raise a family with them?

You don't have to answer, but I think that this strongly highlights the fact that the homosexuality issue is a very complex one. Spare a thought for those who consider themselves, "gay," and always have ... because THEIR childhoods/adolescence is not much fun at all.
