Pees in the brown Koolaid
I try to explain that to people but most don't understand or care to take the time to understand. I ask straight people all the time "When did you decide to be straight?" They give me a blank stare and say "What?" So I repeat the question. They say "Well ummm i always just knew. One day i just got turned on by women." I said it's the same way for gays. They don't wake up one day and say "hmmmm I think i'll try sleeping with a same sex person today.
My sister is gay.
In high school, she couldnt be honest with anyone about her sexuality, because anyone perceived as "gay" at that time was at risk of getting the sh&t beat out of them by neanderthal homophobes. She couldnt date anybody. She couldnt dance with anybody. She didnt get to go to the prom. 23 years have passed, and although she is now (relatively) safe in being open about who she really is, she and her partner are still denied a whole range of tax and societal benefits that are available to other couples simply by virtue of the fact that neither one of them owns a penis.
Why is the hell would anybody "choose" that as a "lifestyle"? Its the way she was born!
