Oh no, she said she chose to be gay
Charleston (WV) Daily Mail ^ | January 24, 2012 | Don Surber

Cynthia Nixon of “Sex In The City” fame (I finally got to see it on E years after its run on HBO; what a loathsome show about some lonely, superficial people) is gay. She said it was a choice — a statement that has angered certain people who want to stifle her free speech and dictate how she feels.

First the over-reaction from John Aravosis:

“It’s not a ‘choice,’ unless you consider my opting to date a guy with brown hair versus a guy with blonde hair a ‘choice,’” he writes. “It’s only a choice among flavors I already like… every religious right hatemonger is now going to quote this woman every single time they want to deny us our civil rights.”

I really do not know what sort of supernatural powers God gave John Aravosis to peer into Miss Nixon’s soul.

So what did she say?

From the New York Times:

“I gave a speech recently, an empowerment speech to a gay audience, and it included the line ‘I’ve been straight and I’ve been gay, and gay is better.’ And they tried to get me to change it, because they said it implies that homosexuality can be a choice. And for me, it is a choice.

She probably made her “choice” after she realized she couldn’t attract any men.

I believe that being gay is a choice. At least for women.

The weirdest “choice” she made was to hook up with the World’s ugliest “woman”. But all actors are crazy.

Gays used to routinely refer to it as being a lifestyle CHOICE. That was before they figured out it was an advantage for being gay not be a choice.

She said that FOR HER PERSONALLY, it was a choice. She was very careful NOT to say it was a choice for EVERYONE.

Stupid reactions by the ultra-PC crowd. If she had said “I just KNOW that it’s ALSO a choice for EVERYONE ELSE,” then I could at least see some basis for snarking at her. But she was only speaking for herself.

Thing is many male homosexuals the look and mannerisms that would lead you to believe it is in the genes but then there are very non effeminate types that confuse the issue

The reason they hate the idea that it is a behavioral choice is that this reality puts the onus (that’s with an o) of their sexual preferences on themselves instead of removing the “blame” to being “born that way”, ie, blaming God.

The unconscious thought process is “if God made me this way, there’s no way He’ll hold me accountable, but if it’s a choice, and I viscerally know that it’s wrong, I know I will be judged for my choices.”

Dating a lesbian that looks like a male is like wanting a hotdog but only getting the bun.

I believe homosexuals are born that way, just like all sinners. We are all born into sin of some type or another but that truth isn't the ticket punch to God's forgivness.

I’d need to see the DNA to figure out what is going on in that photo.
