I chose to be gay on March 3, 2007. I remember it very clearly.

Prior to that, I was attracted exclusively to women.

Well, did you sign up to sit for a multiple-choice examination where you have options like the followings :

a. I want to be straight
b. I want to be gay
c. I want to be bisexual
d. I want to be lesbian ?

If you didn't , what you uncle said to you should not matter.
Anyway, i'm happy for you ! It mush have taken a lot of courage.

Interesting Did he joined some religious group somewhere in the past? Probably that's when he decided to be straight.

He was born into a Buddhist family, but converted to Mormonism during college.

well... we all know it now.

What a change! Anyway, I'm not an expert on religions but obviously in Mormonism, sex is considered as a sacred power just for procreation Yeah, I know!

So, if he's a devoted Mormon probably he's just biased.

Oh yeah, that's what another thing why I haven't come out. The majority of my friends go to church and even when I JOKE about this stuff they act grossed out. Clearly, I'm making new friends next year.

That's some ignorant ****.

I can't stand when people say stuff like that or "such and such turned gay."

It's ignorants. He doesn't understand or know what he's talking about.

Why would one choose to be discriminated against? It doesn't make sense. We all want to fit in.

Your Uncle thinks he knows YOUR natural attractions better than you do?

They have chosen to have sex with women and be in relationships with women, but they cannot choose to be lesbians. Big diffrence.

Just uneducated people making assertions they have no place making. Arguing that you choose to be attracted to the same sex is ridiculous, because if that is true so is the reverse. If sexuality really is as easy as turning on a light switch, then why bother arguing whether it is right or wrong? If it were ever that easy, then it must be part of nature.

Then some people say 'you choose who you sleep with,' which is true. However, withholding natural sexual appetite is unhealthy - I mean are these uneducated people trying to build an army of sex offenders and basement dwellers?

So did mine

I guess he means you can choose who you sleep with, but the dissatisfaction I would receive from sleeping with women Sex is much more than procreation, I guarantee it.

Maybe he's gay himself and chooses to have sex with women (or not have sex at all).

Hmmm. This one is free
