Do you believe being gay is a choice
If so, why would someone choose to be gay?

Stupid poll.
Homosexuality seems to be a spectrum combing environmental factors and occasionally aspects of personal choice. Such a wonderfully binary approach in a base 12 world.

This is a cop out. It's not hard, Archea. Let me ask it this way. Did you choose to be heterosexual?

Arch is right and it is hard. Let me ask you SU, do you believe EVERY person that lives a gay lifestyle is compelled without choice to do so?

I've never met a gay person that says it was a choice. Can we cite a single gay man who says it was his choice? There has to be one.

by the way "gay lifestyle" is an offensive phrase to gays. I found this out. They are considered the code words of bigots.

OK, then how about everyone who has gay sex exclusively? You get the point.

True, which only makes the point Arch is making.

Here is the better question: what is it about believing, for the vast majority, it is not a choice, is so difficult for some people? In other words, what is the psychological difficulty?
