jon 13 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 i wonder what else the community will think of lol link removed for the lazy people "Gay people & past lives..., Maybe they were the opposite gender in another life?" "I just had this interesting thought and I always wondered why some people acted more opposite of their gender & why they're attracted to the same sex. I think gay people may have been their opposite genders in their past lives.. Meaning a gay guy was probably a female in his past life & the female was actually a male in her past life. For some odd reason when they reincarnated into the present, the female's soul was incarnated into the males & vice versa. Which is why maybe some guys are very feminine & the girls are tom boyish. Yeah they're a female, but their soul is actually of a males, which is why they carry traits and have an attraction for the same sex. Anyway it was just a thought and I'm curious about people's views on this subject... Also no offense to anyone if I offended anyone with this topic in anyway.. " Link to comment
DN Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 The problem I have with so many of these theories about why gay people are gay is that it can too easily give the impression that there is something wrong with gay people and that if the reason can be found for what is wrong perhaps a 'cure' can also be found. I would think most gay people would find that offensive. Link to comment

scared and alone Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 why are straight people straight... Link to comment
greywolf Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 well, I don't really believe in past lives. But if I did, and if I thought being gay had to do with it my theory would be this. The person I am in love with right now is someone I was in love with in a past life. And our love is so strong that it transcends sex and gender. hahahahah yeah, not likely.... Link to comment
jon 13 Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 absolutely agree. same here. Link to comment

agent1607307371 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I'm bi so what was I? Also, I do think it's incredibly underthought and patronising to say that lesbians are lesbians because they used to be men and gay men are gay because they used to be women. Link to comment

Instead of finding an excuse, they should opt to try to understand it. Link to comment
EQD Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 all i know is that there is alot of homosexual behavior in animals. being that we are animals.. it makes sense why we too have gay people. its a fetish, a preference, and a normal lifestyle. Link to comment

Anyway it was just a thought and I'm curious about people's views on this subject... I believe that in general the soul does not have gender. (Of course this whole discussion hinges on a belief in reincarnation and the existence of a soul, universal or otherwise). The gender we are given is only a characteristic of the illusion we call reality. Once our souls are free, gender is irrelevant. That said, perhaps there are memories of past lives that leak into the present. Link to comment
McLovin oo7 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I did try to find out answer to this, never got anywhere. I would not buy this argument that this is because of past life or something..Thats not right. I guess its just personal choice and we should respect it. Link to comment

I would think most gay people would find that offensive. I think the offense comes about because the question is often political. The pure science of it is important given the impact of sexual attraction. Apolitical knowledge of sexual attraction could be useful, at least in the medical and cultural sense. I kind of doubt the AMA will be embracing reincarnation anytime soon, however. Link to comment

I've always wondered if it might be just some type of fetish! I just never said it because well... people seem to gang up on anybody who thinks it's not genetic. Link to comment
greywolf Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 If I have a foot fetish, does that mean I was a foot in a past life? Link to comment
jon 13 Posted July 19, 2008 Author Share Posted July 19, 2008 If I have a foot fetish, does that mean I was a foot in a past life? i say you were a sock in a past life.. you love feet and shoes. perhaps even carpets.. Link to comment
