If right-wing logic is followed consistently, nobody should be allowed in the military!
1. The right wing believes homosexuality is a choice.
2. The right wing opposes gays in the military.

Therefore, since according to their logic anybody can choose to be homosexual at any time, why would the right wing want anybody in the military? Going by their logic, a heterosexual man can just decide to be homosexual just for the hell of it. Since according to right wing logic all humans can swing both ways (hence the "choice"), they would need to ban all people from the military to truly prevent gays from serving in the military.

They can't have it both ways. They either need to admit that homosexuality is not a choice, or they have to call for no human to be able to serve in the military. Of course, the logical approach would be to allow all of the brave men and women who want to serve in the military to do so regardless of their sexual orientation.

1. Very good point, personally I just want to ask every one of them if they...
are attracted to the same sex and see their little heads explode. I mean, if it's a choice, then anyone could be attracted to the same sex, including those nutty fundies.

2. I like to ask them at what point they 'chose' to be heterosexual
Which, of course, presumes that they considered homosexuality at one point. "So, for exactly how long did you consider what it would be like to have sex with someone of your own gender? What was it like? I mean, since you consider it a choice, you must have pondered both alternatives, right?" Really torques them. :rofl:
