I'm tired of
listening to people argue about whether being gay is a genetic trait or whether
it is a choice. I happen to believe that it is about as much of a
"choice" as whether you are right or left handed. Sure you can CHOOSE
to write with the other hand, but it will feel strange to you. As a straight
man, it would feel very strange for me to have sex with another man. But I
suspect the opposite is true for a gay man.
But whether it is
genetics or choice, WHO CARES? If a right-hander chooses to write left-handed,
WHO CARES? If a red-head colors their hair black, WHO CARES? If a man chooses
to sleep with other men, WHO CARES? Why does it bother you so much? Get a life and
stop worrying about controlling everyone else, and forcing your views on other
people, and making people live the way you want to live. You don't have to
agree with or even understand someone's choice, but you still have to recognize
and support their right to choose to live their life on their own terms… just
as YOU would want to be able to choose for yourself.

Maybe it is. So what?]
