I can't tell you why I can't choose to feel a certain way. It may be environmental factors.Quote:

Well i was trying to get a bit more basic than that.
Animals...humans included because we are animals are really just biological machines.
Everything the human body does, physically and mentally is controlled by chemicals the brain controls this via "electrical" signals...it controls senses, this is why we smell, touch, and our organs produce what we need to exist and genes tell the body how to grow and what to grow..etc.
So the question is what tells the brain to convert electronic signals into emotions...such as "feeling gay" if that feeling can't be helped?
I am using your "feelings" arguement of sexuality when asking this... i am asking a question about your logic and how you explain it with basic human make up.
What enviromental factors?Quote:

Any environmental factor can influence how we feel....Quote:

I don't think he was hard-wired to reject corn-chip feet. :lol: :lol:
I think you answered my mistype, my "life logic" theory all along was that if we can't control the "gay feeling/emotion" why is it so unbelievable that homosexuals are born that way.....what is stopping us controlling them.Quote:
