I see how people mistreat animals and how meat has associations with higher levels of anger as well as many other issues, I adapted to my discomfort of meat and became a vegetarian by choice.
Similarly I know a guy who saw women be very complicated in relationships, care about fashion too much and nag alot so he adapted to his level of discomfort regarding behavioral patterns he noticed in women and decided to take the gay route.
Lesbian women, i'm sure you will not argue with the fact that many women had so many bad relationships with men that they decided to take the lesbian route, am I right in assuming that you do not disagree that there are such lesbian women out there, lesbian by choice?

And I know people who lived it as well and then were miraculously changed and renounced it.
Every last one said it was a choice.

That is a big lie.
You CAN NOT change gender attraction. You CAN choose to live straight - - but you are still gay.

Hi,
I just read your post (missed it first time around) and I agree with you. We aren't going to change the beliefs of these arrogant fools but there isn't a chance in hell that I'm going to let anyone tell me that my own experience of being gay is something I imagined and that I actually made a conscious choice about it at some arbitrary age. That never happened. What happened was a gradual dawning and realisation of why I felt different and I'll bet it was highly similar for 99% of gay people. No choice was made, we just are.

We agree with each other on everything but calling people arrogant fools is the wrong attitude. Haven't you considered they are just misled and igorant? I mean igorant in the literal sense.
You can't take stuff like what he says personally. It isn't worth the stress. I know you are legit. You know it. Isn't that all that matters?
Especially with an anonymous person you will never meet and can't see.

Just so all you gays and lesbians know - - I am straight.
I worked at a company where I was the minority being a straight female. It was wonderful. Talk at the lunch table was hilarious and informative. I was there for 6 years. These were my friends and co-workers. One of the guys - - who was everyone's friend - - died of AIDS. I owe this fight for equality to him and all my other friends/co-workers.
I also admit - I was ignorant before working there.
