Why would people in places like Saudi Arabia decide to be gay if they weren't born that way?


This is a relatively compelling argument. A lesbian friend of mine once told me, "I'm from Deridder. Why would I choose to be gay? I tried being with men and it didn't work."

I also have a cousin to whom it should have been as obvious as a third ear was a lesbian when she was 12 years old. She got married, had two kids and an existential crisis before coming out.

So, I get it.

I've got a cousin who's a lesbian, and she's really cool. She's no apologist and isn't involved in the "community" politically.

Her "wife" is very pretty.

I find it extremely non-compelling. People make webs of choices all the time that lead them to become outcasts. People with bad dispositions weren’t born that way. I could hear them say “Why would I choose to be grumpy when I would fit in society so much better if I had a sunny disposition?”

Other obvious examples include addicts of all varieties. (There is a likely genetic component to addiction, but it is not genetic in the sense that is commonly argued with homosexuality.)
