I always thought that being g*y was just a psychological problem of some sort that could be fixed with zoloft?

Question

any thoughts on this??

Answer 1

im not g*y, actually im a woman but no it cannot be fixed with zoloft, crack or any other drug.  its not psychological it has something to do with the way the person was made when they were born.  ever heard someone say " i knew from the time i was young that i liked the opposite s*x" ?? most dont choose this lifestyle, they cant help it.

Answer 2

Well let me ask you this: why do you assume there is something wrong with people that are g*y? Just because they are the minority? something to think about.

Answer 3

Unfortunately, decades ago, being homosexual was seen as a psychological disorder in the DSM. Luckily it is no longer considered a disorder. There is much research available regarding the concept of whether homosexuality is a choice vs. being born homosexual. The research is rather convincing that it is not a choice. Homosexual males and heterosexual females for instance have a larger corpus callosum, which is the part of the brain that connects the two hemispheres..  while heterosexual males do not.... but there is a lot more research available if you want to take the time to look for it.  

Answer 4

My thought is do more research, you're way off.

Answer 5

Yeah, well I always thought cocaine could help me concentrate.

Answer 6

From recent information that I have heard there are studies that show that there is one brain part, called the anterior commisure (medulla oblongata), that's bigger in g*y men's brains than in those of heterosexual males. This is not a "sickness of the mind" that can be fixed with a pill. That is actually a disproved antiquated explanation that was used to try to understand homosexuality 30 or more years ago...check the DSM II or III from that era...it is listed here as a psychological disorder. This is no longer the case in the DSM IV.

There is no "cure" for being g*y. I am of the belief that it is what it is. I have 3 male friends who are g*y but they were molested by males at an early age. I'm not sure if there is a correlation here, but in their case, there seems to be one there. Find peace with who you are. Your life will be much better when you do. 2 of these friends have turned to religion to try and "fix" them, but it has not changed their sexual orientation, they just try to not practice homosexuality as they believe this to be a sin.    

Answer 7

I think it is more complicated than that... it has to do with the way the brain is wired...

sort of like fetishes, I guess... you can't "cure" a fetish with Zoloft...

Answer 8

I not convinced you are serious but if you are, you are mistaken.

Homosexuality in not a psychological condition, at least not in the sense you imply. In other words no more than heterosexuality is. A g*y person cannot be fixed and indeed there is no reason why they should be. g*y people are g*y in exactly the same way that straight people are straight. They find desirable what they find desirable. That's it. It is not a choice or a social condition. Could a man be given a drug that would make him be attracted to other men instead of women. I doubt it, that is why it won't work as a "cure" for homosexuality either. For g*y people, being g*y is entirely natural.
