Or did they all agree that its a natural phenomenon, and they just dont like it? Kind of like how conservatives are now saying climate change is real, but just not caused by humans / denying its impact.

They only throught it was a choice because that's what they were programmed to think. It's now been overridden with a new programming; grooming their children.

They don't really care whether it is or not. The fundamentalist, fascist, and/or mindlessly bigoted bastards just want to kill everybody who isn't exactly like themselves.

The answer is yes. They think people choose to be gay. They also think gay people are sex addicts

The only people who actually think being gay is a choice are people who are self hating homosexuals and bisexuals.

Exactly. Think of how many of them also hate non-whites and/or Jews.

And that's just more projection from them. Think of how many homophobic preachers have gone on these weird, detailed rants on what they think gay people do in the bedroom and how often it's done.

I know everyone's seen some form of the joke where someone gets caught looking at porn and they say it's "for research purposes," well, these homophobic preachers would say that and expect to be taken seriously.

If being gay was a choice, why the Hell would anyone in these extremist countries choose to be gay?

Hey I feel like living my life on Hard Mode where I could be murdered for who I am at any second.

Bigots just mumble something like "Some people are thrill seekers. They get off on the danger." or something

Bigots will say that since heterosexuality is "normal" then therefore it's not a choice.

They don't necessarily think it's a choice.

But if their bigotry is religion based, they will often argue that it is a choice to act on same sex attraction. (In other words, they think it's fine to be gay as long as you are celibate)

Conservatives treat opinions like clothing. Just try on whatever works for the current situation and if it gets a good enough reaction, stick with it.

They don't actually believe it, but if it gets enough of a reaction from their voter base, then they'll treat it like it's fact.

They also believe that gay people "recruit," which is what the "grooming" conspiracy is just a repackaging of

"They're just doing it for attention/because it's popular in pop culture." is verbatim the two that I've heard several times from people IRL. For both gay and trans people.

They don't think about it because that's not what the zeitgeist tells them. They are groomers now and it doesn't matter.

Why even bother trying to convince bigots that it's not a choice, as if it being a choice or not has any bearing on whether or not said bigots should get to dictate what rights people have to live their lives the way they see fit? Fuck 'em.

The "gay and celibate" thing only works for the more "progressive" homophobic Christians. There are plenty of homophobic Christians are way more genocidal about it and will try to push conversion therapy etc

I just ask them if they choose to be straight and if they did then they should make the choice to be gay right then and there. They always say "I didn't choose to be straight I just am." And my response is so are gay people

It's best to keep a mental note on what their programming was, so it can be thrown in their face after their new programming overwrites the old one.

Somehow, I'm convinced that they still think being homosexual/bisexual/asexual is a choice, even though it's not and it is actually God's will.

That said, I'm not sure why (other than because God says so), but for some inexplicable reason the Abrahamic faiths (mainly Christianity and Islam) do not permit gay sex (even though merely being gay isn't an actual sin in and of itself).
