Ever wonder if the people that think it is a choice or a lifestyle think this way because they themselves are closeted homosexuals and have "chosen" to live a heterosexual "lifestyle" because of their own prejudices....scary but it kind of makes sense in a twisted way. If they chose then so did the rest of us.

Conservative Christians always think that gay is a choice and that, if you treat them badly enough, a gay person will voluntarily go back to being straight again. This is my philosophy..you can't help who you fall in love with. And when it comes down to it..if you are strict enough of a Christian to believe that being gay is a sin, then you should also be a strict enough Christian to realize no one else has the right to judge another persons life except God, Himself. Funny how these so called Christians will commit one sin to call out their perceived view of another. Hypocrites.

Found out my nephew was gay and had been conflicted about telling the family. It broke my heart - he always has and will always have my love and support. Here is a fun pic with me, him & his husband at his wedding! (People should always be free to love whomever they choose! ALWAYS FOLLOW YOUR HEART!) adam_2-5ca...c983f3.jpg

"a lifestyle..." there are still countries where homosexuals risk their life because they are what they are... my daughter has a classmate who had his coming out last month, I am so impressed by his courage

Exactly. Why does anyone think this could be a "choice of a lifestyle"? Who'd choose to voluntarily live in danger when they could simply choose not to? I don't think I'll ever understand what the big deal is... Love is love. If whoever you want to be with wants to be with you (in any way you agree on), do whatever you want.

So, my Mom was born in 1927, was raised Baptist, wasn't especially religious. She was sweet and just one of those women who no one ever dared make a "dirty" joke around. She was pretty prudish, though never pushed it on anyone. I somehow got around to talking about gay people one day around 1985 when I found out a friend from high school was gay. I really had no idea what she would think, but I thought she was express that it was terrible and wrong, etc. I doubt she'd ever given homosexuality much though before. I could see her picturing the man-on-man sex. Then she said, "Well, it seems kind of gross, but he's a nice kid." That was the one and only negative thing I ever heard her say about homosexual people. She passed away. Mom, you're awesome, and I wish more people were like you and could rise above their upbringing and the culture of their times.

When I hear someone say "It's a choice", I always come back with "So, when did you choose to be straight? When did you say to yourself 'I can love chicks or I can love dudes...'? Some people get it, most don't. I'm not friends with those who don't (won't) get it.

One day i noticed i wasn't swimming in a straight line and decided, "hey, i must not be straight either!"

When i was born i looked back and thought: "i am never gonna go back into one of those...."

I remember it so well! It was a Saturday morning and my mother just left the house for rosaries and all of my siblings weren't home. As I sneaked in to my heterosexual brother's room to look in his dirty magazines I remember so we thinking at the first picture of a woman. ... Well that's a strange place to put a vase

it was during my 30 years living as a human being that I was reminded I never ticked the sexuality options you were given at birth. me being very extra lazy decided welp, better just leave it empty then and call myself an Asexual. my parents barking at me endlessly why I never dated or planning to get married at all, also random strangers shamelessly trying to convince me having kids is Worth It™ and did not cause me any annoyance. I love them. /sarcasm

When I was 4 and other girls had bride dolls, and explained them to me. And I thought well it would be prettier to have two brides at a wedding.

I wasn’t never a picky child and I’m still not. Anything you put on my plate, there’s an extremely low chance I won’t eat it. As I got older I was like “hey. Why don’t I apply my not picky attitude to relationships and my love life? Boyos and girlies are great and just hooman beans in general. So HELL YEAH! I am pansexual!” Yay :D

The camp brochure for conversion therapy just looked so fun!

"I'm not gay but I am willing to learn".....Bill Murray in Stripes

Well, its like this, when I went thru the door marked 'sex' they gave me one but it didn't fit so I went back and they gave me another.... but left the first one with me, so I got both... turns out, having both? does not work very well.... and I am still lacking the owners manuals, the OEM is out of business and the general manager had a stroke and isn't talking to me...or anyone really. eh, I guess you have to be here to get it.

So sad. It’s not a disease you can catch, or a lifestyle that will rub off on you. It’s a genetic and inborn part of someone. They don’t chose it, it just is. There is also nothing wrong with being gay. It’s the mean assed people who torment and traumatize gays that are the part that is wrong! Religious my a*s. Religion is an excuse to do terrible and awful things in the name of God, by people who profess to know, what God thinks and wants! It also doesn’t guarantee you are a follower of Jesus, either. This sickens me, and makes me not ever want to be a part of any religion! I’d rather have my personal relationship with Jesus and God, and not need to be judge and jury. Religion is an excuse to be hateful, and intolerant. And Christian doesn’t mean you are kind and tolerant and helpful to everyone either.

My crush said she was bi so I said "You're bi? I'm bi too!" Note: I'm a girl

Only two women on this list? Why not add more gay women? Since I’m sure plenty of others responded on Twitter.

Accidentally ticked the "other" box on a form as a kid, woke up the next day fancying girls and boys....oops!

Ha ha. I caught 'the gay'. Some great posts here. Loved them. Hope everyone who made them loves themselves because they should.
