Reply #26: It doesn't matter if it's a choice or not

[stahbrett]

For the sake of argument, let's assume that being gay IS a choice for everybody. So what? Does that mean gay people should be discriminated against? It used to be that if you *chose* to marry someone outside of your race it was illegal in most states (see Loving v. Virginia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loving_v._Virginia ).

So if Bill Richardson was not fully "caught up" on various studies that have been done on homosexuality, and was not sure if it was a choice or not, it NOT a big deal AT ALL to me. What IS a big deal is what he has or would do in terms of having the government treat everyone equally.
