gay people, on the other hand, made that choice to be gay. they weren't born gay, they aren't "products of a modern society" or whatever other liberal ass reason you come up with that they didnt have any choice but to be gay. you made the choice, be prepared to live with its consequences.
None of the gay people I know "chose to be gay". Unanimously, if they could be straight, they would. It'd be easier for them, easier for the people their families, easier for society. Why the f*ck would anyone choose to be gay? Just explain that.
The point is, no one can explain homosexuality. It's been taken off the list of psychiatric diseases around the world (most recently, China declassified homosexuality as a psychiatric problem), it's not caused by a virus, there don't seem to be any social issues that all gay people relate to (although a significantly higher number have come from broken homes or been assaulted as a child, it's still not universal.), and science still hasn't found a gay gene.
However, to slide it away as a choice is ludicrous. Describing homosexuality as a choice is like saying heterosexuality is a choice. You choose to be heterosexual and you choose to like girls (or guys, if you're a chick). With some of the attitudes shown in this thread, some of you couldn't even picture yourself in a homosexual relationship. Think maybe the gays feel just the opposite? People like what they like. It's not always a choice. Do you one day have the hots for Pamela Anderson and the next day CHOOSE to get all bothered by Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg? hell no.
and i'm gonna address the whole gay political agenda thing with this quote: "If there really is a gay agenda, then there must be a straight agenda. So what is the straight agenda?"
