Heterosexuals

[TurboKitty]

Right, back to the OP...I never made a deliberate choice per se, though I suppose an argument could be made that the day I married my husband, I made the choice to be heterosexual.

EXCUSE ME! I hate to interrupt the debate, but my question was simply this:

HETEROSEXUALS, DID YOU CHOOSE THAT ORIENTATION?


Okay...now that I've made that clear, I am not asking about:
bestiality
pedophilia
gay marriage
straight marriage
hamster/human marriage
"biblical relations" <-- which, by the way, makes me giggle
rape
incest
age of consent

or any of the 800,000,000,000,001 other topics that were dragged into this.

I also did not ask for a response as to whether or not each of us thought it was appropriate or normal.

SIMPLY -- DID YOU MAKE A CHOICE?

Thank you, and carry on.

Now you know this community board! Stick to the OP??? ESPECIALLY when the Holier than thous can preach...come on!

You're right...my bad.

So what if I have biblical relations with my boyfriend before we're married. I'm going to Hell, aren't I? Oh wait...I don't have a boyfriend. CRAP!

Have not read any of the thread, just wanted to add a comment about a situation I know of re the original question.


There is a person I know well that, though gay, has chosen to not live the "gay life-style". That was the choice this person made for religious reasons. He chose to marry (he explained this to his wife before they were married) and has children. I know this hasn't always been easy for him. He used to be involved with an accountability group before he moved. Not sure if he's found another group since then.

So, I guess my answer to the original question might be "no", the orientation isn't a choice, but everyone has a choice as to what kind of life they want to lead.

I've been trying to choose to be gay all week, and it's just not working!

You're still at it? I admire your dedication!

The science of psychology does not recognise homosexuality as a disorder.

I'm in a homosexual, inter-racial relationship. I've got the best seat in the house so seats will be saved in my row!

Sue, great idea for a thread...I always pose this question in the gay debate threads to heteros and there is never a real answer. We have the holier-than thou attitude as described by User Name so perfectly.

When a hetero man can choose to be gay for a while, I will then choose to be straight. I think I just made my point.

[Mrs.Toad]

Nope. I didn't choose to be heterosexual anymore than I chose to be right-handed.

This is a great analogy!

Can we dance on the bar together?

I'm so glad no one made me the queen.

Just two adults? Thats it?

Gee, we really think we're cute with the leading questions, don't we?

The correct answer is, not for fundamentalist Mormons who take their religion every bit as seriously as you do yours. You, of course, think that they are totally wrong and that your religion is right. On the other hand, they feel that polygamy brings them closer to their god and that your way is incorrect.

I'm grateful for the wisdom of the founding fathers who anticipated religious extremists like you and made sure that the Constitution stood firmly between your petty myopia and the rights of others to pursue life, liberty and happiness as they see fit with any other consenting adult that they damn well please.

It's a shame your narrow religious zealotry blinds you to that.
