| I got into a discussion of this topic on a "christian" board. Of course, the prevailing sentiment was that it was a choice by homosexuals to "turn away from god." So I joined in and mentioned that I never made a choice, that I was aware of my sexuality as far back as I can remember. Of course, I took a lot of static and insults from the "christians" for turning away from god, and I was damned to hell frequently by some.
So I asked them a question. Since they insisted that sexuality is a choice, I asked them to tell me about how they had decided not to be gay, since they obviously had those tendencies to have made a choice. It was funny to watch them run in circles while they claimed that they were straight and never made a choice but homosexuals did.
This was especially funny since I am heterosexual - a fact that I never told them.
