I Choose To Be Gay
   
Being gay is my choice. I choose to be gay, because I choose to be gay. I embrace it fully, and don't choose anything else.

I'm not subject to some thing that compelled, pressured or forced me to be gay - I choose it.

Being gay has been a wonderful experience (state of being) ever since I came out so long ago.

Stating "I choose to be gay" is sometimes problematic, in my view, because of attacks from those morally opposed to homosexuality, internalized to the point that some might wonder "why would anyone choose that." I choose it because I choose it, and it thereby is integral to me as a person.

19. I don't see being gay as a choice...

It just is. Like being right handed; I just am.

My eyes are blue; no choice in the matter.

I'm trying to understand your point. Maybe you're trying to say that you "choose" to be 'out' as a gay man, as opposed to living your life 'in the closet'.

Please help me to understand the point of your OP because I sincerely don't get it.

TYY


The campfire is burning bright.

So.....

I guess I'm just as confused as the primitives, as to why this campfire even exists.

Maybe the Davy Crockett primitive's a mole, trying to incite something.

18. I never choose to be gay.


I am gay and I went through about a decade of soul searching, denial, and self-loathing before I figured it out and was able to accept who I am. I had no choice over being gay than I had over being born white or male. I can't think of anyone who wakes up one morning and says "you know, I think I'll be gay today."

So, if I was born right handed, I should never, under any circumstance try to teach myself to write with my left hand?

I was born a conservative so it is discrimination when leftists criticize me.
I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.
