Pretty much agree with everything said here . It's funny when I hear conversations on the radio or T.V. about homosexuality being a lifestyle choice . Lifestyle choice ? Being an athlete , going to college , living in the suburbs , partying every weekend is a lifestyle choice . If homosexuality is a lifestyle , then so is heterosexuality . You don't hear any stigmas attached to the heterosexual lifestyle . When does it become a lifestyle choice ? Obviously a person is attracted to either a male or female or possibly both . I think hormones play more of a role than anything . I've never known an openly gay male , i'm sure i've talked to many over time but the possible rejection and persecution would keep many from coming out . As for girls ,i've known a half dozen who wer'e gay . One a co-worker who felt it necesarry to explain to me that if she had the choice she'd never be gay and never wish it upon anybody . She told me how negatively a good part of her family reacted when she came out , some never talking to her again . Sad that a good person can be degraded by ridiculous stereotypes and prejudices . There's no shortage of ignorance in the world. I guess that can be said for any visible minority , anything that bucks the trend . Anyways , yeah gay marriages are the right thing and a step towards lessening the undeserved persecution . (Oops ,bit of a rant there)
