Quote:I asked if you thought more gay men were born around that time or if men adapted to their surroundings ,which is it?


Ah yes I see you've dived deep into Google. Plato is an awful example by the way based on my knowledge of him. So we agree homosexuality was common place around that time. So was it a case of more people being born gay or was it a case that it was just freely accepted?


I don't think anybody chooses homosexuality but I do think it is a complex mixture of biological,environmental and psychosocial factors. To say that a person is born gay and that's all there is to it ,is a simplistic view.

To restate my answer another way. I argue it was more freely accepted then. I think there's enough supportive evidence of that. Am I ducking your question in some hypocritical manner with this response? Because I think that's what I said initially. Unlike others, I am not afraid of questions and have answered my fair share of dumb ones.


As for your last line. Is it a simplistic view to believe people are born straight? I was. That's what I sincerely believe. Am I missing something? Because it's a big reason why I am comfortable with the belief people can also be born gay.
