1. Appears to be a good section of logical folks there. I know I didn't choose and can't talk myself

Into being other than what I am. And I've had a lot of passes made at me over the years. It doesn't work.

I know it's old fashioned, but IMHO, politicians and such really need to learn to mind their own business.

It confirms that when you actually ask someone when they chose to be heterosexual they acknowledge that homosexuals likely did not make this as a matter of choice. This is progress.

We must arrive at a point where the majority of people understand that gay/lesbian and transgendered people have orientations (beyond sexuality) that are immutable and, by my Christian faith, gifts from God.

The whole idea that "dude, I'm straight because dudes screw women" is not sustainable.
