Ben Carson: Being Gay Is A Choice Because Of Prison Sex [VIDEO]

Really this whole argument is stupid. There are a whole host of behaviors that people argue may or may not involve choice. Alcoholism, pedophilia, kleptomania, whatever. Proving choice or no choice has little bearing with how society chooses to deal with these issues.

Eh. I don't know if it's genetic or not, but it's certainly not a "choice". I believe some may be genetically/inherently more prone to it than others, while other external factors such as the nature of one's upbringing and social experiences can also have an impact. I also believe some are prone to it (more than you'd think) but don't have an event that makes them realize it until a certain point, if at all... But to say it's just a behavioral decision is ridiculous and couldn't be farther from the truth. Nobody chooses who they're attracted to. It just is what it is.

I absolutely choose who I'm attracted to.
 
Lol at retards thinking its a choice.

I grew up with a kid and from age four it was clear he was different. At the time I just knew he was different but I didnt grasped the concept of gay yet off course. You're telling me he mad that choice before the age of four? FFS. You're retarded then, just like mr carson.
 
i assume most in here have watched porn of some kind. If you're a guy and you look at a guys dick, that makes you gay.

Isn't it amusing that only those identities which the mandarins of political correctness have declared "protected minorities" have genetic origins.

...because if they have genetic origins, our concept responsibility makes them irresponsible for their actions.

So, for instance, homosexuals are genetically homosexual - and to accept this entirely unproven fact makes one enlightened.

Whereas, to suggest genetic causes for poverty or stupidity or violence makes one a NAZI.

Funny how that works, eh?

Whether or not it is "genetic" is irrelevant. The relevant point is that a person's sexual orientation is generally something that individuals experience rather than control. Acknowledging this does not make one enlightened, it merely indicates that you are using common sense.

Have to disagree my friend.

It's no coincidence that approved behavior is believed to be genetically determined while unapproved behavior is believed to be environmental.

There is an implicit ethics to it; environmentally determined = responsible (guilty); genetically determined = irresponsible (innocent)

I don't actually disagree, my objection is to the hypocrisy.

I don't think environmentally determined necessarily implies guilt or responsibility. If someone were molested as a child and this environmental factor somehow influenced their sexual orientation, that doesn't make them responsible for it.

Guys have been looking at other guy's dicks for many centuries. I doubt there's any correlation between that and getting teh ghey. i.e. Michelangelo:

Ben Carson's presidential campaign faces turmoil after staff exits and super PAC chaos

June 6, 2015
By ROBERT COSTA and PHILIP RUCKER / The Washington Post

The presidential bid of Ben Carson, a tea party star who has catapulted into the top tier of Republican contenders, has been rocked by turmoil with the departures of four senior campaign officials and widespread disarray among his allied super PACs.

Carson’s associates described a political network in tumult in interviews Friday, saying the retired neurosurgeon’s campaign chairman, national finance chairman, deputy campaign manager and general counsel have all resigned since Carson formally launched his bid last month in Detroit. They have not been replaced, campaign officials said.

The moves gutted the core of Carson’s apparatus and left the 63-year-old first-time candidate with only a handful of experienced aides at his side as he navigates the fluid, crowded and high-stakes contest for the Republican nomination.

Carson is a hot commodity on the right-wing speaking circuit and has fast become a leading candidate, winning straw votes at conservative gatherings and rising in public polls.
