Yes, gay is a choice, get over it.
American Thinker ^ | 12/24/2012 | Robert Oscar Lopez

According to Peter Schmidt in the Chronicle of Higher Education, yet another individual working in higher education has been demolished for saying the wrong thing about homosexuality. The basis on which to define people as "anti-gay" has, however, taken a turn to the absurd (and eerie).

Unlike Angela McCaskill, who was nearly fired from Gallaudet University for signing a petition on gay marriage, Crystal Dixon of the University of Toledo was fired for writing an editorial in a local newspaper. She referred to Exodus and mentioned people who chose to leave the gay lifestyle.

For this column I will stick to the gay male angle, since I have but 1,200 words. Even if we accepted, for argument's sake (which I do not accept), that McCaskill was "anti-gay" because she signed a petition, the case against Dixon is based purely on wild assumptions about sex. To fire Dixon, one must accept that gay men cannot stop themselves from having anal sex or engaging in fellatio. Without anal sex or fellatio, it would seem that a gay couple is tough to distinguish from roommates who like to kiss each other once in a while.

These assumptions bestialize and infantilize gay men. While I have tired of penning editorials about gay controversies, the situation is dire. I feel compelled to write a column once again emphasizing a basic reality: gay sex is a choice. Nobody lacks the power to refrain from having gay sex. Get. Over. It.

Dixon said that gays had the choice to leave the lifestyle (in other words, stop engaging in anal sex and fellatio). According to her detractors, such was tantamount to being anti-gay. Her detractors are following the lead of the Southern Poverty Law Center, which lists "conversion therapy" as a hate crime.

Homosexuality is a form of mental disease.

I agree and have thought that for a long time. It's an undiagnosed and untreated illness. Thanks, American Psychiatric Association, for putting political correctness ahead of your patients' health.

Thanks for Birney’s side of the story. I never believed her and found it disgusting she suddenly decided she was gay.

as for her claims about her first husband, from his rebuttal she seems to be a victim for sure, a victim of her own vindictiveness

I meant transexuals, and by “perfectly straight” I mean they are sexually attracted to and carry on with the opposite of their biological sex. Of course they may so butcher themselves as to render normal straight intercourse impossible, but they’d still do whatever it is they do with the opposite sex is the point.

“If you ever did a guy, and you’re a guy, you’re a homologue and that’s that.”

This is an incredibly idiotic statement given what we know happens when males are packed together without recourse to the opposite sex, for instance in prison or at boarding school. But let’s pretend those are special cases and look elsewhere. What say you about men who have sex with both males and females his entire life, never settling on either? That he’s really gay deep down. But why, if he’s not gay in practice? Probably because you can’t imagine having sex with someone of your own sex, or some such nonsense.

They exist, trust me. However mostly gay or straight are most men, or however instinctual is physical revulsion from homoeroticism to all straight men, there is such a thing as going both ways.

I agree with your severing of homosexuality from transexuality. They are different beasts, and have no business being lumped together.

I think some guys are just born effeminate. There was a kid in my neighborhood who even before we knew what sex was ....was gay... a fairy.

And some of the woman who show up in Chicago for pride weekend. Jeez are they big....backs and arms like an offensive lineman. Sometimes I don’t think it’s a choice.

She’s 71 and has recently decided that she is a lesbian.

So she made a decision (choice).

The term ‘gay’ is an inadequate substitute for ‘homosexual’.

I don’t know about you, but my heterosexuality was not a choice. It was irresistible, inevitable and inexorable. May not be PC around here to say so, may not fit your agenda, but it is the truth.

Though they commonly go together, resembling the opposite sex does not necessarily imply homosexuality. How many girls are tomboys before puberty? The issue, for me, is not whether or not they’re “born that way.” Some are, more or less. Others obviously are made. Still others aren’t decided one way or another. What bothers me is the scale tipping in favor of latent homosexuality, so that for instance you can have sex with women all your life, sleep with a man, and suddenly decide you were gay all along.

Well, okay, I guess we have to take their word for it. But we don’t just do that. We try to decide for them. So that if some celebrity, say Tom Cruise or John Travolta, who have one or two effeminate qualities and are gossiped about having been caught here or there, in this of that compromised position with a man, are automatically 100% gay. What? What about all the evidence in the other direction? That doesn’t count, for a few simple reasons: a) gays and fellow travelers are interested in inflating their numbers, b) people for whatever reason think it makes a better story, and c) they don’t want to admit it’s possible for straights—for instance them—ever to have gay sex.

Gays tell people to “stop being homophibic”, as if phobias were a “choice”. Goose, gander, sauce.

Heterosexuality objectively describes and defines how a species procreates -in our case via two sexes.

Homosexuality subjectively describes and defines how a mentally disordered heterosexual recreates.

We are ALL with very exceptional exceptions heterosexual.

I know what your agenda is -you are a heterosexual that is spreading homosexual agenda propaganda as 'truth' on FR.
