“If me being gay was a choice, it was a choice that was made far, far above my pay grade,”
number one, it should read ‘if my being gay, not me being gay’ and number two, not really, Pete, that was no doubt a choice you and 99% of your gay cohorts have made; nature doesn’t muck things up that often...
What I don’t entirely get is why his/their particular sexual preference becomes their identity. I’m heterosexual, it’s contextual but that’s probably one of very few times Ive said that. If they asked it on the census, I’d answer, but beyond that, it’s not the focus of who I am. But if you’re gay, or transexual, or any of the multi sexual identies, that’s apparently who you are, evidenced by the necessity to proclaim it to the world. Whether they want to know or not. It’s odd. I might suggest that heterosexuality being normal, or “normal”, it’s not a constant focus of ones life, Bill Clinton excepted. But suggesting “normal” exists would make me a dozen kinds of bigot.
