Being Gay Not a Choice: Science Contradicts Ben Carson
MSN News ^ | March 7, 2015 | Tia Ghose

Ben Carson, a retired neurosurgeon and presidential hopeful, recently apologized for a statement in which he said being gay is "absolutely" a choice.

In an interview on CNN, the potential 2016 Republican presidential candidate commented that "a lot of people who go into prison, go into prison straight, and when they come out they're gay, so did something happen while they were in there? Ask yourself that question."

Science does not show that there is a gene that causes homosexuality. They have not shown that people have no free will and can not control or "choose" their sexual activities.

This is simply fake science promoted by those with an agenda.

Then how do you explain NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio’s wife. She used to be a lesbian. Wha’ happened?

Over 80% of homosexuals were sexually molested as children.

Gay is not something you are it’s something you do - and that’s a choice.

I have similar questions regarding heterosexual women who go into prison and engage in lesbian relationships.

I am not a supporter of Carson’s, but it does seem to me that prison behavior of both males and females indicate that at least some homosexual activity is indeed a conscious choice.

These people believe in fake science when it pleases them, the only science they reference are papers submitted to psychology journals. No Genetic Paper has been submitted.

Can you PM a source for that. Not disputing it, but I have heard that for years and never have seen a source.

The human body is designed for reproduction.

Sensual taste is a matter of acquisition.

It may not be a choice 100% of the time but it certainly is a choice some of the time. The choice is just more obvious to/for some.

Having homosexual proclivities likely isn't a choice. Just as though I'm sure being inclined towards kleptomania, alcohol abuse or pedophelia isn't a choice. Who would choose these habits?

But acting on those inclination very much are choices.

And all of these things can be overcome where there's the will.

Whenever a liberal wants to prove a point they refer to “science”. “Settled science” which changed with the liberal agenda. Global cooling and a new ice age in the early 70s. When that did not work out it became global warming. When that didn’t work out it became climate change. In each instance it was “Settled Science” and those that disagreed were anti science. Seems the global warmers disagreed with the global coolers and now the global climate changers are disagreeing with the global warmers.

The need to buttress the gay agenda needs ‘settled science” to prove that those science deniers are actually Neanderthals.

I believe the actress, Anne Heche, also used to be a lesbian. I think she broke up with Ellen DeGeneres and started liking men.

Not sure if is true for both male and female but it likely is... however, anecdotally every 'lesbian' I've ever met (for which details were available) were cases where they were abused at a pre-teen to teen age by some guy their mother was shacked up with.

What an overdone story. The MSM knows this stuff resonates with young people especially and serves to create a caricature of Republicans as oppressors of gays, minorities, and women. Once the caricature is in place and becomes kind of a social norm in their little groups, they’ll never explore any genuine conservative ideas.

It's settled science just like climate change. Ask Obama — he knows.

We don’t ask questions about his wife because she and her husband are liberal. She would only be attacked if she or hubby were conservative.
