As a child my parents told me that homosexuality is a genetic disorder where a normal male is attracted to a distorted male with female hormones.
As I grew up, that sounded both bs and legit. Nowadays, homosexuality is widely accepted that any average (non-extremist) people would think that what i was taught is a total bs. Recently, my parents told me that the fact that homosexuality is being more accepted is turning a relationship like best friends forever into homo. For example, hugs among guys is considered homo by some people.
So my question is what is the natural/genetic sexual preferences that human beings are supposed to have? Does homosexuality derive from social needs (as in needs for friendship) or from sexual needs (as in desire of getting laid).
oh ya i don't rly want extreme views on this thread. i want moderate views.

Just spouting nonsense probably, but isn't the natural sexual preference for living things is heterosexuality? Since instinctual urges wants you to create offspring, or whatnot.
IIRC, not many animals have sex to have fun like humans. I think dolphins were one of them....

I think it's definitely dependent on sexual needs. Like if a girl is a lesbian, then obviously she is attracted to other female humans. In what way? I usually think attracted in a sexual way.
Things like friends, best friends of the same sex, something like that, isn't homosexuality. It's a relationship of two people of "homogeneous (same) sex", but it's not a relationship of two people "interested in the sexual preference of the homogeneous."

As long as you all realise if something is natural or not has nothing to do with if something is right or not.
Is homosexuality natural? Not exactly in the purest sense, but it is genetics.
Is homosexuality wrong? Not at all.

Snake venom is natural, but you don't see me running to include it in my diet.
There are argument's both ways, with environment vs. genetics.
While I think it's a combination of both, it all boils down to accepting the choices of other people without letting them compromise your own.
Accepting gays, lesbians, asexuals, bisexuals, pansexuals-- it can all come to pass without the hug you give your best friend being seen as sexual.

The reason I posted this thread is because I heard about bunch of kids being educated that homosexuality is right by having a field trip to a gay marriage.
I thought that was wrong and they were being forced to believe that. So I came to wonder what would they choose if outside influence did not force them to choose their belief.

That's kind of funny. I can't imagine a field trip to any marriage, much less a gay one. I hope the kids don't ruin the ceremony or something.

Fixed.
Holding hands, kissing and hugging are all common gestures of friendship around the world, regardless of gender.

Fixed x2. Plus the word you should be using is probably sex, not gender.

Genetics has actually been shown to have an effect on the sexual preferences of people.
In several studies, with constantly duplicated results, subjects proved this. Volunteers were given shirts to wear for a day, then the shirts were categorized based on ethnic lineage, and placed in boxes. Subjects chose between the scents of multiple boxes, and, with consistency, chose those of similar ethnic origin.
I would like to see the study repeated except focusing on gender rather than heritage. It would be interesting to see if a heterosexual person would choose the scent of a man or a woman.
[Edit: I was misleading. Genetics has been shown to influence sexual preference, but there is no "Gay gene" and one will most likely never be found. Just the thought of something like that is silly, because then that persons ancestors would all be gay. (And that means the person would not have been born.)]
