The fact is, being gay isn't genetic. It isn't something you learn or choose to be. Homosexual people can't help it. The title "Same Love" captures it very well - gay people love the same way straight people do. Even if you think of the word "gay", it means happy. They are happy loving the same sex. I'm not gay, but even people who aren't need to realize that coming out of the closet is hard for a lot of people because of the way they know people will react. Why do gay people have to be treated differently then straight people? Gays even have less rights than straight people do in America. Up until recently, gays weren't allowed in the army. In many places, homosexuals still aren't allowed to marry. Although gay rights are expanding, gay people are having their rights as Americans restricted because of their feelings towards a certain sex. They are American citizens too. They have rights under the constitution. They have freedom of speech, freedom of religion, just like straight people do, but they don't have the most important freedom - the freedom to love.
I have to disagree. I am bisexual myself. It was not a choice for me, if it was I would be straight right now. I also know/knew a homosexual guy who told me that if it was a choice, he would be straight in a second. He wants to be straight, very badly. He said he envied me because I am able to love girls. In a lot of cases, its not possible to just change, I don't know why people assume it's always a choice. In general though, I do agree with you.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TRUE!!!! Everyone just needs to stop being so judgmental!!! It is getting sad how many people do not see that what they say does hurt people around them...

The song itself already says it isn't genetic though.
"The right-wing conservatives think its a decision
And you can be cured with some treatment and religion"

You can't choose who you love, right?

@Ianb437 I'd say it is just who you are ... each of us has different sexual preferences, some like missionary, some like doggy, others like oral, bdsm, etc. etc. We do not chose whether to like these or not ... we just do. A preference for homosexuality or heterosexuality is just who you are. Is it passed on through genetics?? Environmental conditions?? Situations?? Past experiences?? Probably all and more help shape our sexual preferences.

your reply makes no sense. you say being gay isnt genetic. But you say they can't help it. Doesn't that mean its genetic?

Being gay is genetic. It's not about environment and it's not a chosen path for anyone. youtube.com/watch
