How old were you when you chose to be heterosexual?
http://www.wonkette.com/politics/culture-war/index.php#jerry-falwell-the-biggest-decision-of-his-life-026864

Last night on Hardball, Chris Matthews put the, ahem, screws to the Rev. Jerry Falwell:

MATTHEWS: How old were you when you chose to be heterosexual?
FALWELL: Oh, I don't remember that.
MATTHEWS: Well, you must, because you say it's a big decision.
FALWELL: Well, I started dating when I was about 13.
MATTHEWS: And you had to decide between boys and girls. And you chose girls.
FALWELL: I never had to decide. I never thought about it.

He was born like that, of course.

6. Yes, very perceptive of Mr. Matthews (Tweety).
Tweety really backed him into a corner on that one. Think I'll put that in my bag of tools.

10. What did Fallwell & Matthews say after that? Or did Tweety let him
off the hook at that point?

I am sickened by the rise in gay-bashing I've been seeing and reading. Maybe Tweety is sick of it too.

16. I think I can offer a unique prospective
Edited on Fri Dec-03-04 11:53 PM by AnIndependentTexan
I'm 23 and I'm Transgendered. I never choice to be this way. Exploring who I was and being open with myself is what let me understand myself. Even though I'm TG I am not gay. It isn't something people choice, but something they are born with and don't understand.

20. I'm still trying to figure it out
Mostly, I think I'm trying to keep my options open. I prefer to deny all labels and then do whatever I want to do. At least no one can complain I broke the rules....

24. I chose, then I reassessed my decision.
I chose to be heterosexual during my formative years. It seemed a smart decision. Instead of being ridiculed mercilessly and beaten half to death (and rape bait), I pretended to be a young heterosexual pre-teen. This worked well because I didn't have to fuck guys anyhow.

In my teens, I started to reassess my choice. It was so difficult, to have sex with beings that seemed so wholely unattractive to me. I liked them as people, but I didn't ever feel that warm tingly feeling for them like the other girls did. I did have that warm tingly feeling for the other girls though. But, despite that, I stuck by my initial choice. After all, if I came out as a real like faggety ann, then all the girls I had crushes on would scurry like cockroaches.

In my twenties, I reassessed my situation and decided to "Choose Abomination!" It's worked well for me. I'm in love. I have a great, long term relationship. I have an emotionally healthy sex life. Sex never "feels pretty good but kinda makes me wanna throw up at the same time" like it did when I "Chose Nature". (I suppose nature wanted to keep me perpetually skeeved.)

CHOOSE WISELY EVERYONE!

25. I was 3 when I became aware that I liked boys........
a particular boy in Sunday School. I thought it would be nice if he came home with me to see my new pajamas. I also wanted to kiss him all over his cute little face. Choice? What nonsense!
