See...this is where we are different. I just don't know if it is a choice or not. I am leaning toward it not being a choice but I really don't know. Why would a dude choose to be gay? It just doesn't make sense to me.
But, what if it is not a choice. What if you are wrong and being gay was something in the DNA or was something in the psyche? Why deny them a choice to be happy?
Unlike you guys, I can honestly say with 100% certainty that I have no fucking clue. I don't know if they are born like that or if it is a choice for them? And I can also say with 100% certainty that you guys don't either. So with that said, why not let them enjoy their lives like we do?
Got 100X more exposure to teh gays than most on here. Let the jokes begin. Don't care. I've had honest discussions with several and if you think that most make a "lifestyle choice"...then you are mistaken. If someone chooses to experiment and try the "I kissed a girl and I liked it" then yeah, you're making a "choice". But please explain to me how someone can honestly say, "I am in no way attracted to the opposite sex. Not sexually, emotionally, physically etc." and you think they're making a choice. Just taking a hetero man's perspective here....Take the emotions that you feel towards a woman...you find her attractive...you find her sexy...you connect on a different level....there's something there that makes you feel like you want to be with her on more than just a casual basis. Now take a man who can say with 100% certainty that he feels none of that for any woman. No way shape or form does he feel that for any woman. But he does for a man.
Did he make a choice? Did he choose to feel that way? Or did he just decide that well, things aren't working out with the whole woman dating thing....I think I'll just choose the gay lifestyle? Come on, you people are smarter than that.
I consider myself a Christian. I attend a huge Methodist church here in Dothan. With all the events coming down lately with the SCOTUS ruling for gay marriage, I asked our pastor his views on it and where he stands on the issue. He said he's studied it from every perspective possible and can't say definitively that it's right or wrong. Adam Hamilton is the pastor of the biggest Methodist church in America. He says exactly the same thing. Look, I'm just telling you that I've asked the hard (oops) questions from several gay people. It's NOT a choice for the majority of them. It's the way they were born. THEY didn't have a choice. Just like YOU didn't have a choice. Do you think God loves a child born with Down's Syndrome any less because he/she was born that way? Did that child have a choice?
Bottom line, I keep hearing the word "choice"..."Choosing a lifestyle". The gay people I have asked the pointed questions of say it has zero to do with choice. They didn't "decide" to opt for men over women. That's been their make up from birth. That's the way they were "created". What would you have them do?
