the next post: gender

This week we have discussed gender and things pertaining to gender roles. Also we have learned about homosexual attractions and what could be some underlying causes of it. In particular I was interested in what causes homosexual attractions since this has become such a highly controversial issue in the past several years. Based upon the article as well as our class discussion, I believe that homosexual attractions are primarily a result of circumstances and choice. that is to say the most influential causes may be traumatic circumstances in the family (no father, overly involved mother) it may be a result of bullying or any other number of factors. personal choice is truly the biggest factor because people choose to act upon those feelings which in turn increases them. this is not to say that people who engage in homosexual behavior are a result of those things, but it is a very likely contributing factor for many.
