Homosexuality probably is contagious for guys who are repressed gays. Many guys harbour homosexual
inclinations but are unwilling to express them openly and, in many cases, even to acknowledge their
own desires for other men to themselves. It has been scientifically shown that man who express
strong hostility to homosexuals are much more likely to be experiencing repressed gay feelings
themselves than guys who are more relaxed about the whole thing. Because you started this debate and
framed it in contemptuous terms, I suspect that you fall into this category.
For these repressed gays, encountering those who openly acknowledge and practise their homosexuality
may be a liberating experience. It will be a practical demonstration that a life of fear and
pretence is unnecessary, that one can acknowledge one's own homosexuality and still find happiness
and social acceptance.In this respect then, homosexuality may indeed be contagious. Meeting a
homosexual may encourage you to shed your inhibitions and "come out", whether to others or to
yourself. If you fear encountering gays, then, most likely it is because, deep down, you either know
or suspect that you really are one of them. |

I doubt this could be true. It has not affected me: I would tend to not believe that one's being
homosexual makes any difference to anyone else or not as to what they are of and in themselves
oriented towards.
Everyone's sexuality is inside themselves as is. |

I have never met a homosexual person who has tried to "convert" me. This debate demonstrates
ignorance. I would hope the majority of people voting against are enough evidence to the contrary.
Perhaps, I'm hoping for too much. I would like to believe that when fact is pointed out repeatedly,
it would demonstrate that the concept is based in ignorance and lack of understanding that people do
not have to be the same as each other to be respected, cared for and loved. |

Homosexuality is NOT contagious. My friend is gay and there is no way that she could ever "turn" me
gay. And trying to "change" their ways is just as stupid as them trying to "change" your ways. |

How does being gay destroy society?How does my bed room preference threaten society. I admit I'm
good in bed but that's an insane claim. And all of my friends are straight and since I came out as
being gay none of them have caught my "gayness." |

No I don’t believe it’s contagious, however in a society where gays are accepted more people who
are already gay are likely to come out of the closet and admit to themselves and to society that
they are gay. I would also say that if you are worried about it being contagious it greatly
increases the likelihood of you being a repressed homosexual. |

How are we destroying society, i must ask.
We are just as intelligent as 'straights'
people are born homosexual,
it is not a choice where people wake up one morning and think
"hey, i am going to be gay" |

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. AIDS is contagious, not gayness. |

Really now? How is homosexuality killing society? Do you mean the fact that the rest of society
wastes resources, time, and money to change them when they don't need changing. Let people live the
way they want if they want to be gay go waste your time changing them it never truly works. |

You really are the most boring kind of ignorant.
Homosexuality is not a contagion. Sadly - your point of view is. This entire debate reminds me of
the "Boys Beware" video of the 1950's - (by that i mean - old, uninformed, and viewed one too many
times.)
(I've read the comments on this debate, and to reply to them in one fell swoop...)
Indeed you may have a friend with you in school who is gay - Just because he's gay doesn't mean he's
checking you out 24/7.
I shouldn't worry if i were you.
Actually, Gay men, do not find all men attractive - and on a personal note - intelligence is such a
magnificent boon when it comes to attraction.
When you say that you wouldn't mind if all Gay's were dead (they were just wiped out etc...) I can
guarantee it would effect you. Whether it is a worldwide thing, or not, but in Britain homosexuals
have most of the high paying jobs. The clothes you no doubt wear, at some point were designed by a
gay person, before they treacled down into your average pret-a-porter normality. Yes even the color
of your clothes is designed, and has been for years.
If you have a buzz cut hairstyle - i'll forgive you - but spikes.... Spikes would have been from the
punk liberation - then later adopted to the scene - gay clubbing - ta da - the mixture of these
comes to modern day hairstyle.
With regards to thinking too much out of the box - i disagree, here is a truly unrefreshing display
of in-the-box-well-worn-closed-mindedness. Out of the box mind would be liberal and free thinking -
Mr stricken (with what, pray?) is certainly not.
As for destroying society - really - how melodramatic - I personally think that idiocy is societies
cyanide.
You do of course realize that homosexuality does have some genetic grounding - not just whim. |

Destroying society? Someone has a little too much biased discrimination towards homosexuals. |

It is not contagious. This is a very dumb debate. Where do you get the idea it is contagious? |

I'm sorry everyone. This is my brothers debate and he is a little retarded at times. He can't help
it, its just the way he is. |

There's nothing wrong with homosexuality. It is not contagious. It is partially genetic and
partially environmental (how you grow up affects which genes come into play more often).
Is it me, or did stricken36 ACTUALLY say that he thinks gays should be killed? I can't believe I'm
reading that... |

Of course homosexuality is not contagious. The reason you tend to see more openly homosexual people
in western, liberal societies is because they need not worry as much about persecution. I am quite
sure that you would find proportionally just as many homosexuals in Iran, for example, as you would
in the United States. The only difference is that in the US they are more visible, while in Iran
they must remain in hiding, in order to avoid persecution (and sometimes execution) by state
authorities.
I really don't think that a homosexual can somehow make his straight friend gay. The straight friend
will probably end up being much more accepting and tolerant of homosexuality and homosexuals, but
his own sexual orientation will not change. Some people, however, have noted that straight people in
the West are increasingly finding certain attires, styles and ways of life once associated with gays
to be popular and trendy. They are sometimes referred to as meterosexuals. |

You have it all wrong. Being gay is like being left-handed and it is not a sickness nor contagious.
You should read a bit before stating your mind on such a well documented subject. |

I disagree with pretty much every thing you are saying in this. Firstly homosexuals aren't
destroying society, ignorance of other people (e.g homophobia) is. Secondly it is not some sort of
disease, and since the word contagious basically means the spreading of a negative condition through
the environment, it cannot apply to homosexuality since homosexuality isn't a negative condition nor
is it something which is spread through the environment. Thirdly since you say you should attempt to
get them to 'change their ways'. I feel this contradicts your initial implementation of it being a
disease since a disease is not based on a choice. |
