i don't ever recall making such a decision. for those of you out there who are straight by choice..... please enlighten me the process you went through to be straight.
i never experimented with guys or thought "hmm... that would be fun or interesting". i'm just straight and simply love women, whether simply talking to them or pleasing the bejesus out of them. complicated, endlessly interesting creatures indeed. i was born this way.
i didn't choose my "lifestyle". if you believe gay people chose their "lifestyle" then it works both ways, right? (and if it is a choice, why in the world would anybody choose a lifestyle that so often subjects him/her to lower class status in most places in the world?)
please don't rant and rave about how evil you think homosexuality is here. i already know you think it's wrong. i'll just delete your comment. hate on your own blog. not here.
i want to know if you dabbled in same-sex relationships to come to your decision of choice to be straight. did society pressure you to be straight or were you surrounded by a gay community and just decide to be contrarian? or are you bi? now bi's have that luxury, if you will.

Never thought about it, I'm simply not attracted to men. The thought of kissing another guy is just revolting to me, but hey that's me. As far as that comment about subjecting yourself a lower class society, if what I was interested in and what I loved meant I was to be "lowered in class" I would still be after it. If for some reason my love for women brought me down in the social ranks and brought on hate and discontent, I'd still love women. Screw the rest of the world for not understanding me. I'd imagine that's is what the same sex people think, but again just my point of view.
i think your comment depicts your strong will and i applaud that. i think the planet needs more of that. i don't know many openly gay/lesbian individuals but i do know one woman who will get in your face about it. the pain of the rejection from her family will be cast upon you in such fury. i also have two extremely close friends that never discussed the obvious (they've been together more than 25 years now) with their now deceased parents. i know that hurts them a lot as do the stares of the neighborhood kid who walks by their house.
I've often wondered how hard a struggle it is for homosexuals to come to terms with and accept who they are - and then how they find the strength to face family, friends, a an unfriendly world.
I look forward to replies on your post. Great questions.
thanks q. i'm not sure if people who believe it's a choice will reply.
in retrospect, the blog is more rhetorical statement in a question format. i just hope it makes at least one person think. i got the idea from a tv show years ago (star trek next generation, i think) where everybody was gay and the straight people were outcasts.
I think most people are born one way or the other. Some perhaps are attracted to both sexes and would most likly choose whomever makes them happy. Then there are those that are oneway and forced to pretend to be another.
It is sad that society puts so much pressure on us to be forced to pretend to be something or like somebody we don't. I think it takes a very brave person to openly admit their sexuality preferences amongst judgemental people. I can' t imagine purposely choosing to be ridiculed or judged by such high percentage of people. I have always loved men and only been attracted to men. However, as the years go by, I can understand how an attraction to the same sex can occur. Since women understand and relate to one another an emotional bond may develop and go from there. I don't know... I just believe you are born the way you are born, not taught, coerced or forced.
