I want to see the ORIGINAL parts list.

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.

Of course it’s a choice.

I wouldn’t say it’s a choice in the way that there is a singular moment in time when somebody considers the options and makes a decision to be straight or gay. But I do think it is a learned response over time after a myriad little micro-decisions and experiences. In my estimation it’s a fetish, arrived at in the way that any other fetish occurs to somebody. I also think it evolves over time just like fetishes do. Are people “born” to be interested in BDSM? or feet? or whatever? I don’t think so. I think it is learned and I think it is constantly changing. Some people do “evolve” back out of it again. Some just keep diving deeper in.
Like most of us, I’ve known a large number of gay men and women over the years and I have yet to meet one that didn’t have some sexual trauma in their formative years. Whether abuse or a dysfunctional relationship of some kind, without fail it always seems to be there.
The really inexplicable thing to me about gay relationships,— at least the ones I’ve seen— is the almost universal tendency for same-sex couples to still settle into a masculine and feminine role. Every time. Some guy who claims to be attracted to another man— to the exclusion of women— is attracted to an effeminate man. Or a woman who eschews men but is attracted to a “butch” or masculine woman. Here is somebody that is in fact still attracted to the opposite sex, but only their own artificial fantasy version. She wants a woman that acts like a man and straps on equipment to simulate being a man... you have to wonder if that person is really gay at all. She’s attracted to maleness, not feminitity. Just as some “gay” men are attracted to men that present themselves as feminine. I suspect there’s a fear underlying it. They’re still actually attracted to the opposite sex but there is some deep-seated fear of the biologically authentic gender.
I want to see the ORIGINAL parts list.
in 2003, Nixon ended her relationship with Danny Mozes, the father of her two children, Samantha and Charles. The couple had met in high school, and they’d never married. Then she got involved with Christine Marinoni, a Park Slope institution and a public-school advocate (although Nixon tells me Marinoni has since switched to union organizing).

Both are real woofers. (Its a man, baby) X 2.

oh good grief!
The other person looks like a man to me.
I'm guessing the blond is the lipstick version and the angry one is the dipstick version.
Them two are a roadhouse bartender's worst nightmare.
I'm not sure they're human....
That’s just scary!
The woman in the tie looks like a boy.
Being gay is better? I don’t think so.
That’s an interesting way to put it.
The issue is much more complicated than either side wants to admit, or deal with, its just easier saying “Its a CHOICE” or “I was BORN this way!”..
I don’t believe anyone is “born that way”. There may be some that are inclined that way, just as I am inclined to be a lazy glutton (which is also a sin). I have to fight my inclination to be a sinner, just as they should.
Years of frantic, highly funded research has failed to produce a “gay gene”, but so many people believe the lie that science has proven it exists......gee, what does that sound like?
I want to see the ORIGINAL parts list. I don’t need to see a parts list, just look at their hands! The ugly dude in back is a Man!
The only “bi-bi” I’m interested in when it comes to Obama is what we’ll be saying to him in November.
But if he can work on his Spanish then he can be a bi-bi-bi.
