it's nurture not nature, so yes they can but it may be impossibly difficult to do so.

an apt analogy would be someone who is religious to stop believing in what they were brought up with, for some people it is easy but for others they believe no matter what

the same people who think being gay is genetic are probably the same people who think being fat is genetic :huh:

Thank you

Thank you

Actually fat genes can make you fat so part of your statement is invalid

You realize being gay isn't a belief, right?

if that's true then how did anyone become gay in the first place? there would never have been an original gay person and they wouldn't be possible today

I can only assume your comment refers to the nature argument, as yes with our current definition of "life" it would not be possible.

However with the nurture argument then there doesn't have to be an original person.
