OK, I'll come clean. You people are starting to sound like you're getting pissed and wanting to leave the board or some shit like that, so I'll clarify something...
To a point, I was just trolling and I feel kinda bad stirring all of this up when I was really just saying a lot of that stuff to agitate.
Frankly, I have no clue as to whether or not homosexuality is a born-in trait, or if it is a conscious choice that someone makes. I am actually more inclined to believe that it's more of an environmental influence than one of genetics, and that you don't just wake up one day and decide "I'm going to be gay." More likely, it's a behavior that comes from a screwed up father figure or something like that. Who knows. I'm not a psychologist.
I was perpetuating the argument for the sake of conversation (as I often do over lunch with friends). I was going to keep playing the devils advocate, but since it was really getting heated, I thought it best to diffuse the argument since it became apparent that the discussion wasn't going to die on its own.
There were certain aspects of my previous messages that I do actually believe. I do personally believe that homosexuality is wrong, but that doesn't mean I hate gay people. And yes, I do have some (although they are few) gay friends. Does it bother me that they're gay? No. Do I disagree with their lifestyle? Yes. But I don't let it get in the way of our friendship. I'd hope the same could be said for you guys here.
I would venture to guess that many of my personal beliefs would be considered wrong to you guys, so there's no harm done there. I am sure I would be crucified if I told you a lot of things that I do believe in.
Let's just make this conversation go away, now, OK? I promise never to troll again. In the near future. I swear.
Damn you people get worked up over this message board stuff, man!
