White House's Jarrett: Dead Gay Bully Victim Made 'Lifestyle Choice'
The last time I heard anyone use the obnoxious phrase "lifestyle choice" to describe a gay person's sexual orientation was during the Bill Clinton presidency when the gays were accused of wanting "special rights."
Today the Washington Post's gay kapo Jonathan Capehart shares a video interview he conducted on Monday with senior White House adviser Valerie Jarrett. She clearly states a belief that Minnesota gay teen Justin Aarberg, who committed suicide in July after being bullied, made a "lifestyle choice."
What an outrage to claim that the 15-year-old Aarberg made a choice to be gay, and that sexual orientation is a lifestyle. Did she get her talking points from Tony Perkins and the Family Research Council? It's doubly offensive that Capehart makes no effort to point out how dangerous Jarrett's thinking is...

Much too big to bring over, but Jarret had better be toast. This has legs.

Oh wow! what a nasty thread.

Was there some discovery made while I was away that it isn't a choice? And I've yet to see anyone holding a gun to anyone's head forcing them to engage in homosexual behavior.

Regardless of his "lifestyle choice" he certainly made a choice when he ended his life.

36. People need to email or call the White House.
I know everyone is tired of doing that, but we have to keep it up regardless.
Call Obama! He'll make everything OK! Wait, she didn't put her obligatory "LOL" in her post.
Here's an exchange:

251. I didn't think that someone on DU would try to make this about African Americans.
What, you think there aren't any LGBT African Americans?
"Many blacks"? Is that like "some people say"?
Name Removed must have said "Many blacks don't like Teh Gheys."
It's a fun thread to read if you like DUmmy anguish.

Perhaps natural impulses are not "lifestyle choices." How you choose to act on them, however, are by definition--choices.

It's a gigantic bonfire, with everyone calling for Valerie to be fired. What the DUmmies don't understand is, Obama :heart:'s his Valerie. He's not listening to the incessant whining and bleating from the likes of the DUmp. Teh Ghey's? Meh. He cares not one whit about you, DUmmies.

Uh, isn't that exactly what they want? They want to be held above society. Anyone in America is free to marry, as long as it's between a man and a woman. Why should they be "special"?
