    The absolute gall they have to call it a “lifestyle” like people choose to live that way one day

    It’s not a fucking lifestyle, LGBTQ+ people just are and they exist

    They don’t choose to suddenly be that way one day, they have been that way their entire life and discover that about themselves

      "Ah, but they choose to act on it! You see, my old preacher struggled with gay thoughts all the time because of Satan. He told us so nearly every Sunday. But did he act on them? No! He was straight, just as god intended.

      So those people having gay thoughts are CHOOSING to be gay when they could pray and get a wife and have children like the lord said."

      -Some dipshit I know

        “He resisted his homosexual urges, and remained faithful to his heterosexual wife until the very day he shot himself.”

          I act on all the homosexual urges I have. They just happen to be zero. If you have homosexual urges it’s likely because you’re gay. I’m not really sure why this concept is so hard especially for the ultra religious….

      Here’s the thing, whether or not it’s a “lifestyle” shouldn’t even enter into the equation. Healthcare workers are supposed to treat everyone the same, regardless of what the patient has done or how they live. If you can’t deal with that, don’t go into healthcare.

          M137 understood what I meant.

          I believe that people are born with the same primitive instincts as everyone else, (survive and reproduce) but they gradually begin to develop their own feelings and sense of being. Some natural, some by trauma, etc, overcoming the expectations of your parents being the biggest hurdle.

          I’m just simply saying that people aren’t born knowing they’re a part of that community until they’ve come to a realization or a spark.

          Just my opinion. Just how I observed a family member and his experiences. Sadly, no one accepted him and he’s gone now. But I read his journals about how he felt, came to being, etc afterwards. Just wanted to understand.
