Nope there is nothing different. It anymore than changing ones favorite color or food.
The difference is that those who prefer this behaviour want a special and protected status.
The acting out on homosexual behaviour is physiologically, mentally and emotionally damaging to the person acting out and to societal strength as a whole.
Further there are these silly attempts to demonize people who are trying to help those who VOLUNTARILY choose to quit the behaviour.
You said they are just like us but decided not to be, at least sexually.
Could you decide to not be turned on by a hot chick giving you a lap dance? If so, you’re a better man -— and maybe a latent homosexual — than I am.
