Why I chose to be gay

W"I want to be clear that not every gay man played with dolls as a child, and not every boy who does turns out to be gay. However, most boys with similar childhood inclinations do not grow up in accepting homes. Many of my friends have told me stories about how they were scolded or even punished for participating in feminine activities even though they were only doing what felt natural to them. Imagine what it must feel like to an innocent child who is made to feel as though something is wrong with them, taught at an early age to put on a show, to be someone they are not. The damage is different for every individual, but I know firsthand that the side effects never truly disappear."

You didn't bother to read anything but the title, did you? If you had, you would have found this in the linked pages:

"Most people who don't approve of homosexuality believe that it is a choice. While it seems obvious to me that physical attraction is a trait beyond one's control, others disagree. I have had friends who have been sent to camps and programs to be changed (yes, they do exist) and have come out broken, confused and still…well, gay. In fact, these types of organizations and counselors who believe in similar methods have done nothing but increase the suicide rate among gay teens, which is the highest of any other group."

Once again you show yourself to be nothing but a mean-spirited, vile, anti-gay troll.

Hesed, you really should take to reading the articles before you go spouting off on them as it would keep you from putting your foot in your mouth as you have done here. Your response is actually perfect considering the context of the statement to the story, but quite contradictory to your usual level of intolerance. Yes, the author does state quite honestly why he "chose" to be homosexual, but it's clear you didn't bother to read why.... Hilarious.

You really need to get out of the house more.

There are PLENTY of perfectly happy glbt people. I'm one and I know many others like me who live satisfying, content lives as openly glbt people.

I'm in a happy, monogamous same-sex marriage. We'll be celebrating our twentieth year together this autumn. We're financially secure, have two wonderful sons who we are raising together, and have the full support of our extended families as well as a large circle of friends. My partner and I have fulfilling careers and neither of us are addicted to alcohol or drugs. We're healthy and look forward to spending time together in our free time, and socializing with family and friends.

For many glbt people who have built lives surrounded by supportive family and friends, we are indeed GAY as in happy! And no homophobe can take that away from us.

christians are the bully's of the world evidently. and secretly queer. otherwise they wouldn't get off on bullying gays and calling it 'christian'. it is terrible for children to feel they don't belong whether they are gay or not. but 'pseudo-christian hypocrites' don't have loving feelings toward others. too busy trying to be judgemental and self-rightous. too bad real man is gay and hesed is an idiot gay in the closet. so stop hating and start loving. gay and happy here.

Which is why you're so unhappy al the time then, because you're gay? Try thinking though your idiotic statements BEFORE you make them. Oh wait, you can't, you'd have to have a brain to do that now wouldn't you...

Are you only capable of reading the posted articles if they have pretty pictures?

Since you're lazy, here's the last paragraph:

"Why someone would ever choose to be treated as a second-class citizen without the same rights and privileges as heterosexuals, putting his or herself at risk of being a victim of a hate crime, or at risk of being disowned by his or her own family is beyond my comprehension. So if choosing to not be gay means going to back to the way I felt in sixth grade when I would cry myself to sleep at night because of fear and shame, then yes, I choose to be gay."

Many say gays are born that way. Truth be told many are exposed to pornography; had bad experiences with others (i.e abusive parent or mate); sexually molested or dealing with sexual identity issues. Some have experienced all of these issues combined. Those in the gay life want acceptance or a sense of normality to be on their lives. The reality is no matter how many (biased)research reports on being born gay (a gay gene) or animals that are gay that come out, it can never justify the deviance. Being gay is not the worst thing on earth, but all things done in our bodies contrary to our original design will cause problems. The introduction of protein (semen) into the anus cavity creates various blood-borne diseases. This is true for hetero and homosexual sexual relations. The problem is we humans always seek to justify our lives even when were wrong. No matter how loud you scream: hate/biased/bigots/religious zealots/etc
you don't make what's wrong right. Oh you may dull the noise of conscious that calls within your soul that somethings ain't quite right in your life...but in those quiet moments you may feel the pull of your life force (spirit) interacting with God the Holy Spirit calling you out of the darkness and into His marvelous light! Gay is not the worst way because all of us have fallen short of what God would require from us. God requires perfection and we can't measure up to that. Therefore He (God) provided a way back to Himself through His eternal Son. Who are we to fight what He has laid out for us since the foundation of the Universe. Surrender your human will to the true and living Lord of the universe Jesus Christ and know that in Him you are loved and forgiven, made clean and given power to resist living a dead lifestyle. Those who the Son sets free are free indeed. Please read without prejudice and see the real message contained herein. Ask yourself why are you offended by these words? Maybe because these words are true.

Nicely said.

They have a choice as to with whom and how to sexually gratify themselves.

They choose to do it with someone of the same sex.

They are in full control of their bodies, as with me and you.

Yet they choose to do wrong, and not marry someone of the opposite and then having sexual relations only with that person alone, for life.

It's no wonder disease is widespread in that group of people, only identified by the fact they choose to sexually gratify themselves with someone of the same sex.

This article show be titled "Why as a bisexual I chose to be gay"

Don't know about you..... But I have never been attracted to both sexes and their was no choice for me....

If you state that sexuality is a choice it is only telling the world that you are in fact bisexual and have both gay and str8 desires....
