I can tell you all from personal experience, I did not choose to be gay. All through high school and into college, I dated men. It wasn't until I was in my early 20's that I even thought I might be gay. It was never a choice, it was a realization. I am not now and have never been attracted to men.
I believe though, that some people choose to be gay. It is also my opinion that most people who identify as gay have no choice in the matter.
Female country music singer Chely Wright recently came out, she describes growing up knowing she was gay. She prayed to God every day so that he would make her straight. Tell me, does that sound like the experience of someone who chose to be gay?
Maybe I'm reading things wrong here, but Drury18, I find your viewpoints to be very narrow for someone who suggests they are a part of the LGBT community.
