"Lifestyle Choice"
Even in being GLBT was a "lifestyle choice", people should be free to CHOOSE it!

I hate it when bigots say "lifestyle choice" like it's a BAD thing!

1. well conservatives in America seem to hate actually having any kind of freedoms or choice
unless it's a choice between a slightly less extremist Republican Christian and an extremist one.

2. I agree
I believe that people are born gay or straight but even if it were a "lifestyle choice" it would still be a perfectly good one. Being married is a "lifestyle choice" too. So is being a vegetarian, living in the suburbs, smoking, playing golf, owning a pet or millions of other things. People make lots of lifestyle choices. I may not make the same lifestyle choices but I will not deny anyone else their right. People really need to get a life.

6. I always make this point
You are obviously born gay or straight, but what if a straight person just wanted to date people of the same sex for whatever reason? Isn't this a free country? Why would it matter if it wasn't an innate characteristic?

Hell, staying unmarried for life is also a "lifestyle choice." No one cares about the perpetually single, or at least no one wants to deny them rights.

4. The only "choice" in being gay...
is whether or not to stay in the closet...

You are still gay....no matter what "choice" you make.
