11. I've had to break it down further for them
Edited on Sun Dec-21-08 01:27 AM by Chulanowa
Because they think that everyone is by "default" heterosexual and anything aside from that is a "choice"... Well, I of course feel obligated to point out the facets of heterosexuality that are not a choice.

For instance, I cannot CHOOSE to be unattracted to flat butts or passive-aggressive personalities. I did not CHOOSE to go ga-ga over redheads and women with morbid humor. The fact that my "perfect woman" is a lady with a great smile who shows it often and isn't put off by absurdist humor is not something that I sat down one day and decided. it's simply what I respond to, and I can't help it.

It's acting against your natural inclinations that is the choice. And that's the point. These cretins want gay people to be someone else.
