Topic	Are you one of those people who thinks being Gay is a CHOICE or were born Gay???
adjl 05/07/18 7:04:43 AM #40:	wah_wah_wah posted... adjl posted... wah_wah_wah posted... botsrule posted... Born that way, not a choice. Who would choose to be persecuted for their sexuality? No one chooses to be persecuted, but that doesn't mean sexuality is not a choice. They don't choose to be persecuted, since that decision falls on the persecutors, but they can choose to do something that they know will result in being persecuted. If avoiding homophobic attacks were as simple as choosing not to be homosexually attracted to anyone, why would anyone be gay? It is a pitying argument. Oh who would CHOOSE such a horrible fate as to be gay? I mean, maybe people who are gay dont see their sexual orientation as this resentful curse. Just a thought. The persecution says more about the person doing it than it does about them. This also defines all those who engage in gay sex acts to be cowards if only given the opportunity. And that's why the whole "it is/is not a choice" thing is pretty dumb, since saying "you can't hate them because they don't have a choice" carries the implication that it'd be okay to hate them if it were a choice. it really doesn't matter if it's a choice or not. Hating people for reasons that don't affect you in the slightest is just bad in general. --- This is my signature.
