Yes, it is healthy. It used to be classed as a mental disease, but 20 years ago US psychiatrists decided it was quite normal for some people.

If you mean is the lifestyle healthy, well, that depends on the liver. Gay people had a reputation in the past of being free with their affections. Since AIDS came on the scene in the early 1980s gay people have been much more careful, using condomswhenever they had sex.

Anyone's lifestyle can be healthy or not healthy. One may decide to smoke tobacco. Another may decide to take drugs. Another may decide to have unprotected sex. Each person's lifestyle is different.

Actually as a point of fact, the DSM II manual was changed in '72 to reflect that homosexuality was not a disease or a disorder. The only 'danger' in living a healthy homosexual life, is how you view yourself around others. If your self-esteem is lowered because you feel guilty, dirty or wrong about 'forbidden love', you typically will take dangerous chances that will put you in 'at risk' situations. More education, role models and the loss of ignorance is advancing us day by day. Knowledge is power.

The genetic basis of sexual orientation is still not fully understood.


Does homosexuality originate in brain chemistry?

Homosexuality is believed to be influenced by a combination of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors, rather than solely by brain chemistry. Studies suggest that genetics and prenatal hormone exposure may contribute to sexual orientation, but the exact mechanisms are not fully understood.


What may be the reason to prevent homosexuality if it is genetic?

Homosexuality cannot be prevented. Also, it is not believed to be purely genetic. Sexual orientation is something that is fixed at an early age, possibly birth. Being gay is just as natural as being straight. Even if there were a way to prevent it, there is no reason to prevent it.


Why is homosexuality frowned upon?

Homosexuality may be frowned upon due to societal norms, cultural beliefs, religious teachings, and lack of understanding or acceptance of diverse sexual orientations. Intolerance towards homosexuality is often rooted in ignorance, fear, and prejudice, rather than any valid reasons. It's important to recognize and challenge these biases in order to promote equality and acceptance for all individuals.
