Being Gay is a choice...
Do you believe people choose to be gay? I think yes, and here is my reasoning:
Same-sex attraction ≠ being gay
Same-sex attraction + acting on that attraction = being Gay
In addition to same-sex attraction, I think being gay requires a decision and a choice.
Do you agree or disagree. Why?
NE.

*sits*
This won't end well.
Then by that logic, being straight is a "choice" as well.

It's not a choice.
You can choose to hide it but are you going to be happy? What's the point of living if you're hiding your true self to the world?
Shame for all the people who have to be repressed because of the culture surrounding them, I'm glad Mexico is okay-ish with this thing.

Just close this thread. ATRL has enough threads filled with idiocy.

No
If it were a choice then nobody would choose to be gay.
Gays have been treated as diseases for so long, why would anyone choose to be isolated and ridiculed by society?

What's the point of being gay and choosing to have straight sex? Reproduction? Because that's not the only reason people have sex
I just don't understand why it's a choice to act upon it when that's what feels right naturally. It just feels right

I mean if you're going by this reasoning:

Then yeah, absolutely. But I think a lot of people would argue that just having the same-sex attraction is enough to consider someone gay.

Actually it is. Being gay isn't a choice but actually living gay/ living your true self kinda is.
Regardless:

To some people yes. Because your actions define you and not necessarily your thoughts (according to some people).
