I have decided that I will be gay starting tomorrow. Anyone want their pecker polished?

It is for some and not for others. Not all gay people are the same.
Your opinion does not align with the OP.

Not what I'm getting at but seemingly offensive regardless. I don't want to take it there
The story I get more often is I like women but prefer men. Same sex could be a preference. I have no idea. I just believe it's not a choice but I also believe that if you had a reliable polygraph (you know, something that doesn't exist) you'd find bisexuality to be the case among the "gayest" of people
Nothing more than a belief on my part

I understand what he was going for and I believe that homosexuality isn't a choice. I'm just not a fan of stereotypes of any type--however "true" they be.

Right. Since all gay men don't like sports and are in boy bands and vice versa.
I really don't get the protestation to my story. Fox Mulder just shared a very similar anecdote right after I shared mine. Are you saying that you think I'm lying? Or are you just saying that I was being politically incorrect in the way I told my story?
I actually admire the heck out of my cousin - he was always true blue and acted the way he wanted. He never presented to be interested in girls or football or gangsta rap. He was always himself - drama and fricking piano from age 5 on
that shite takes a lot of courage - I know he took some lumps for it even though we grew up aways apart.

How do you know. I think we can choose anything regardless of our programming. People don't taste wine for the first time and go "damn that's tasty"

Again, I don't think it's a choice, but I certainly believe either voluntarily or involuntarily it's something that you can choose. By that I mean a desire you can develop

I think it's called experimentation.

I guess it isn't pc to acknowledge a lot of gay men participate in feminine activities at a higher rate than straight men

Is it a choice to like or dislike a piece of art? There's not even a good, simple answer for that. And thats just a painting. Now we wanna delve into human behavior, relationships, psychology, biology, personality, sexuality, aesthetics, companionship, culture, impressionability, et cetera to try and categorize and explain people based on who they frick. It's an impossible task.

I don't think you're lying at all and your story clearly supports the argument that it is not a choice. It's the "political correctness" of it, I guess. Even though I hate that saying since it has such negative connotations.
Every homosexual person is an individual with their own lived experiences. I guess that's what I was going for with my comment.

Yes but based on an inner desire. Sure some people say "frick it. I've never done that before"
But I believe a person with zero homosexual desires can develop genuine desires based on external factors

Sure it CAN be
And that's all I'm saying about sexuality, it CAN be
Tastes change and people are complicated. I'm sure some people sleep with members of the same sex strictly because it's taboo. Their desires have nothing to do with attraction to the same sex
shite some people are in to feet, why can't that be biological? We don't know, and that's all I'm saying
And to clarify again so it doesn't get lost with what I'm saying, I believe that sexual preference is more often than not something you're biologically programmed with

And look at all of this discussion, it reinforces the original point
We don't KNOW...I believe humans historically have a problem with admitting that. I'm no exception.

I prefer these terms. Stereotyping is nothing more than recognizing, incorrectly or correctly, patterns among groups of people. Nothing wrong with it at all.

Being gay is not a choice! Prove it
Agreed but there's no proof. I think you can develop a taste for anything though

Isn't it ironic that heterosexual gay sympathizers and gay people can't imagine it as a choice but gay bashing freaks think it is?

All except one of the examples of animals that supposedly engage in acts of homosexuality have been male animals engaging in acts of dominance.

You don't think it's possible to be a homosexual sympathizer or even a homosexual and think it's a choice
Why does this caveat even matter?
I can hate handicap people even if it's not a choice
That's the point, we're talking about something no one knows the answer to, and while it's efficient to categorize "anti gays" in the "it's a choice column", the belief it's a choice is neither hateful nor prejudicial
I believe it's biological (generally speaking), but I'm open to the possibility that i am wrong
