Cynthia Nixon of “Sex In The City” fame (I finally got to see it on E years after its run on HBO; what a loathsome show about some lonely, superficial people) is gay. She said it was a choice — a statement that has angered certain people who want to stifle her free speech and dictate how she feels.
First the over-reaction from John Aravosis:
“It’s not a ‘choice,’ unless you consider my opting to date a guy with brown hair versus a guy with blonde hair a ‘choice,’” he writes. “It’s only a choice among flavors I already like… every religious right hatemonger is now going to quote this woman every single time they want to deny us our civil rights.”
I really do not know what sort of supernatural powers God gave John Aravosis to peer into Miss Nixon’s soul.
So what did she say?
From the New York Times:
“I gave a speech recently, an empowerment speech to a gay audience, and it included the line ‘I’ve been straight and I’ve been gay, and gay is better.’ And they tried to get me to change it, because they said it implies that homosexuality can be a choice. And for me, it is a choice.

Now that is HILARIOUS!
She left him. He didn’t leave her.

Since the two of them look vaguely similar, I'm guessing there was some kind of wicked Uncle Ernie in her childhood.
"Any recent lead actor/actress who has been in a hot series for four years or more is set for life. He never has to work again. His children will never have to work. They are free to do and be what they want, despite the cost, despite the controversy."
I think they make a lovely couple, can we assume the one with the tie wears the snap-on tools?
If having SSAD (same sex attraction disorder) were a defect in human DNA it would be safe to say it would have been bred out of the genetic code in a few generations as up until doctors started playing with artificial means, the SSAD crowd could not reproduce.
Even if a case could be made that they “feel” this way SO WHAT? There are many feelings we as civilized humans just do not act upon unless we are part of the liberal “if it feels good do it” movement.
When I see a car that I would really like, if I used the SSAD mentality it should be OK to just steal it.
Or how about if I spot a hot chick that I would like to do the nasty with, according to the SSAD crowd I should just do a Denny Crane and throw her down on the floor and do her!
The two sides on the issue are lesbians say it is a choice, the males say that it is genetic.
During the 90s the argument between the two homosexual factions was pretty open.
Ok, I’ll bite...what is meant by “choice” in that observation? I have no idea what your comment meant.
I just bet their momma’s are so proud....
Obama has the proud distinction of being a "bi-bi"...
A bi-racial bi-sexual.
This is a Class 5 Mullet Violation if I ever saw one.
I don’t wish gay on anyone, and I believe the reason why there’s an argument in the first place is that the gay lobby crushes any attempt at medical scientific inquiry on the topic.
This is the first place I go in any argument about gay rights -
“What causes it? You want me to get behind it as normative. I know that at the very least you have a reproductive disorder probably along the same lines as post-partum depression, in that you can’t conceive normally through any other means but adoption. As such, aren’t you even curious WHY you don’t feel like you had a choice?”
To go further, now you want me to afford legal rights to you in your relationship, and in the benefits it is going to afford the rest of society. The only justification you offer is that of ‘equality’, when clearly there’s nothing equal about this sort of family structure at all.
Is it reasonable for us, prior to doing such a thing, to ask for some research first? Isn’t this the reason why we nearly wrecked our economy to stop global warming too? We nearly placed massive limits on individual civil liberties on the basis of very poor research and a massive amount of emotional outpouring of support.
I think this approach does a couple of things. First, it doesn’t bring ideology into it in the least. This means that I’m not intimating that a gay person is either wrong, or that their condition was a choice. I know enough gay people to know that many do not feel they had one any more than many pedophiles do, for example.
Second, if we don’t know what causes it, we don’t know that there may not be a cure, and whether they think they need one or not, they should at least offer other gay people the choice of being cured or not before we go tearing up 6000 years of social fabric first.

The bigotry of the Liberal mind never fails to show its ugly face, even when addressing the personal beliefs of someone who is nominally “on their side”.
The dominant media treatment of Nixon is likely to be no different than their treatment of black Conservatives - they feel betrayed.
But the only thing being betrayed is the belief-myths in their own mind - that everything is as they believe it to be, when the reality is not as they believe.
Exactly, if you’re “born that way” with a propensity to steal, covet, lust, murder, blaspheme, idolize, etc...
you’re still held accountable for each violation,
unless you have Someone that can pay for those sins for you.
