Sexual orientations are not chosen. Lifestyles are.
The belief that gayness is a “choice” incites me. Not only does this belief broadcast ignorance but more importantly it points explicitly to the believer's confusion--confusion of sex with sexual orientation. Yes, who you have sex with IS a choice. Who you are sexually attracted to is NOT. I could not wake up one morning and decide: From this day forward, I am going to be sexually and romantically attracted to exclusively women.
Hypothetically I could choose to lead the lifestyle of a lesbian. I could date a woman, have a sexual relationship with a woman, even marry one if I went to the right state. But this doesn’t make me a lesbian. This does not and cannot possibly make me inherently homosexual “by choice”.
People are born gay the same way people are born straight.
Furthermore, what person in their right mind would willingly choose to be part of a minority that is so profoundly disadvantaged and rejected by the majority?
