I am straight and have worked around several gay men and for some reason could always tell. In the voice, the clothes, just something about them. I am not a homophobe and do respect most people regardless of there sexual preference. I just see to many familiarities in gays to think that it is really not a choice. I am sure there are a few out there that choose it but I feel most are just born that way.
lets hear.

Sure, you are established with a foundation from your parents' genes, but what makes you a unique individual is what you experience during your lifetime, childhood especially. If you were to ask the childhood experiences of a homosexual, you won't find many pleasant experiences. Many of these people usually develop psychological problems from parent abuse (physically and emotionally), peer abuse (not fitting in at school), and they suffer from exclusion. They almost look towards homosexuality as a release or an excuse for why they aren't fitting in mainstream society.
