Is being gay a contagious sickness? Or is it just in fashion?

I'm wondering because whatever it is there seam to be more and more of them.

Answers:
Being homosexual is definitely not a contagious sickness. In the first place, it's not an illness. It may be trendy in certain circles to pose as a homosexual but sexual preference is a serious matter and for those who strongly identify as a homosexual, it is not a trendy act.
them? they are people. i care not to waste any more time on this topic..
good god that is a good question. I hate this gay agenda crap
is being an idiot contagious? cause it sure is sickning and I don't want to catch that diease!
I think lately they've been coming out of the closet.
In high schools it's a popularity statement.
Though they usually prefer to say they're bisexual than gay.
I don't think it is a fashion.guys just don't sleep w/ other guys because everyone else is doing it.

And being contagious? I hope not
It's the media.. it's cool to be gay in movies..tv etc.. also if you are gay you feel more comfortable admitting it, unless your name is Tom Cruise.
Homosexuality isn't a particularly taboo subject anymore that's why homosexuals aren't afraid to express their sexuality. That's why you feel there is 'more' of them.
It is neither contagious nor in fashion.
As society (slowly) becomes more tolerant, the tendency is for people to become more confortable with who they are.
Maybe that's why there are more gays, more people with tattoos, and etc; society used to hold much more prejudice against them in the past.
People are born gay, it just seems that there are more of them because they are not afraid to be who they are. In the 50's and 60's more gays were in the closet and were getting married to hide their true identies. Thank God that now they are coming out of the closet so they don't have to be in unhappy marriages and their husbands or wifes and kids do not have to suffer with them living a duel lifestyle.
its neither.being gay or straight is just a sexual preffence. thats all.
The relative percentage of gay people in the population is stable. They are not obliged to hide that is why you "see" more gay people.

Being gay is not an illness or a fashion. It is how the brain is wired. You can't fake it or get "cured" of it. It is just how some people are. No big deal.
it is not a fashion it is a way of live, except it , it's part of everyday life. you must ethier hate gay people or be one yourself?
it is the year 2006!!!!!

live and let live
neither its just the same as being straight or bi so stop worrying IT IS NOT AN ILLNESS or that they choose to be that way it is in the genetics, just get over it
Theres not more gays now, they are just not trying to hide themselves any longer. If you are straight they can not turn you gay. It is merely a difference of do you like to look at boobies or dudes muscles. Can someone else change whether you're a tit man or a leg man> Of course not.
Why should being gay be considered a disease. I think it is incredibly narrow minded when people make statements such as yours. I have never seen any argument that could support something just like what you said. I do be live that people have the right to decide whether they are heterosexual, homosexual, asexual, or whatever else they feel like being without being treated like lepers.

The argument of "It is not natural, so it must be wrong" is sooo lame, if that were a valid argument, then driving cars, flying planes, using clothes and computers should then also be considered diseases. After all, I have never seen an animal using his laptop while driving a car to go to the airport dressed in an Armani suit, now, have you?

By the way, I am a straight and not narrow person. I simply support people having different choices than mine.
No it's the way some people are born. While being gay is not a contagious sickness bigotry is. Find a cure.
It is half about your genes and half about the environment you genious!
For most, it's a sick fad.

Monkey see, monkey do.
oh for gods sake get over yourself. do you think people choose to be gay when they have to put up with crap from people like you? x
