Men do not GO gay. Homosexuals are born that way. There are no more or less homsexuals living in this world then there were 100 years ago. They are in all countries. People just had to hide their sexual preferences a long time ago but thanks to a wider understanding of homosexuality, most no longer have to keep it a secret. It's 'out of the closet'.

They'd be dead. They lived hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Cool.  Thanks.  I did not know that.  I guess that goes for "homosexuals", too...?  That term wasn't coined until about that same time.

Good question.  Probably when people stopped using the word "gay" to mean "happy and carefree", and started to use the word "happy" and "carefree."

Ooh, nice question.\n\nActually, I think you could make a strong case that they didn't have sex until after they left Eden. There's no mention of it, and I know they had no children when they left. \n\nIt was eating the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge that made them realize they were naked; is it possible they were having sex prior to this, yet failing to notice this one detail? Which they then figured out from eating a piece of fruit? \n\nI could almost imagine them just not bothering to contemplate the fact that they had different genitals because the subject never "came up", as it were. But the whole Fig Leaf story just sounds absurd if they were copulating the whole time.\n\nAfter the Fall, of course, it wouldn't really matter if they sinned or not, having already been declared sinners.\n\nOn the other hand, if they weren't having sex prior to the Fall, and one assumes that God intended, or at least hoped, that they would not disobey Him and remain in Paradise forever, one has to wonder why He would give them genitals at all. I mean, seriously, what's the point? \n\nAgain, good question.

Society, I guess has a role to play.  Being gay has been taboo for quite a few centuries, in almost all cultures. Therefore, everyone was expected to marry and have heterosexual partners and have children.\n\nThen there have always been bisexual people too. Who is to say a person who exhibits heterosexual behaviour has not homosexual tendencies. It is possible those tendencies never manifest themselves for a huge proportion of Human population, unless they are extremely strong. Extremely strong homosexual tendencies die but mild ones don't and are passed on. Besides gene variation is always a possibility.

That is a tricky question, but I think it should be possible. I don't think you are referring to genetically modifying homosexuals such as many other answers, but using this as an example to other areas of human race. Lets for a second assume being gay is not genetics, but a choice. Murders and rapist are said to have some genetic defects also, but as it relates here we will say they don't, so we could apply some behavioral techniques while they are still young in order for them to make better choices in their lifes.It won't be easy, but with the right techniques at the right time anything is posible..

yes, they could have.\n\nHowever, more likely they were both just carriers for a recessive gene.

Adam and Eve lived hundreds of years. By the time Cain and Abel took wives there were sisters, cousins and second cousins all over the place. Remember, there was no TV yet.

I'm not sure why you care. Is it for the monetary benefits they could then enjoy as a legally married couple? If it's not about money, then why make such a big deal about it? The bottom line is how two people feel about one another and not some definition of "marriage" that society chooses to make. I think I'd revere two people who were dedicated to one another who didn't need the formality of marriage as a crutch. Spend your time living life, not debating it.\n\nIn my opinion, the basis of your arguments are that you want society to accept homosexuality as a normal human condition. Unfortunately, homosexuality is not a normal human condition by definition because reproduction is necessary to preserve the species as it is with any animal on earth. It's true that 10% of the population is genetically homosexual, but so is 10% of the population deaf or blind, but that doesn't make it normal. On the other hand, skin color, nationality, culture, gender, and other potential racially related discriminant features are simply manifestations of human evolution on earth. Darwin's theory of evolution cannot support homosexuality as a normal development of mankind.

You will probably get a lot of comments about how homosexuality is not a choice.  However, the question is not at all hypothetical.  The ancient Greeks faced this problem.\n\nIn the ancient Greek system boys were taken from their families at the age of seven and put in a boarding school.  Homosexual love was a recognized custom.  Each boy had an adult male lover who wooed the boy with gifts, poetry, protection, and training.  They played together naked.  Because it was considered the accepted thing to do, virtually all the men practiced homosexual behavior, and thought it normal and expected.  They choose to be gay, if you will, but it was more peer pressure than free choice.\n\nSo, what happened to reproduction?  That was indeed a problem.  Men did not want to take upon themselves the responsibility of having a wife.  They did not want to do their duty to their nation state by getting her pregnant.  So the government was forced to give special tax breaks and status to those who had children.  A man was not thought ill of if he allowed another man to give him children through his wife.  It was still hard to keep up the birth rate, and this may have had a lot to do with the eventual collapse of the Greek culture.\n\nThere are many more corrupting influences of homosexual behavior than merely the threat to the continuation of the human race.

I think others are misunderstanding your question.  Your point is an interesting one: that gays currently have to pretend to be straight, and therefore they have heterosexual sex and reproduce, against their natural inclination.  If they did not have to hide their sexuality, they would be much less likely to reproduce.\n\nThe only weakness in your argument is the assumption that homosexuality is entirely genetic - this has never been proven.

Right on, brother! I'm with you all the way. That's the last thing Jesus would do, especially knowing that he purposely created that problem on earth for both gay and non-gay people to deal with. No pain, no gain. If you can be gay and make it through life following the good rather than evil in your heart, congratulations! In my opinion you've made it to heaven. The same holds true for non-gays when it comes to following the good in their hearts.\n\nPS,  I believe there is at least some genetic (gene) component that predisposes most gays to their attraction to the same sex. If so, who but God gave it to them?
