Trump nominee Sam Clovis: 'As far as we know' homosexuality's a choice, 'logical' LGBT protections could lead to legalization of pedophiliaClovis made the comments between 2012 and 2014 in his capacity as a talk radio host, political activist, and briefly as a candidate for US Senate in Iowa. His nomination has drawn criticism from Senate Democrats, who argue his lack of scientific background makes him unqualified for the USDA post overseeing science.
Clovis has repeatedly argued that the science on homosexuality is unsettled and that "LGBT behavior" is a choice. The American Psychological Association has said that while there is no scientific consensus on the causes of sexual orientation, "most people experience little or no sense of choice about their sexual orientation."
Asked for comment on Clovis' beliefs surrounding the science of homosexuality, a USDA spokeswoman told CNN: "The Supreme Court settled the issue in 2015." The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

I would really like to hear some of these male conservatives tell us what it was like to give up on guys.

(12,904 posts)Not at all what I was expecting.
And, could someone please explain to me, a straight dum-dum, what the hell difference does it make if lgbtq is by choice or nature?
I really do not understand why it matters. If it was by preference, what makes that preference wrong? Just because it doesn't match my preference?
My feeling...of course it's by nature. Any other explanation is just not logical. I can't believe these people think they can dictate human behavior. Their fear eats them from the inside out.
