“ There’s a large and growing movement within the GLBT community to stop fighting the “Choice/Not Choice” wars, and paint the whole argument for what it is: a fallacy of false dichotomy. As soon as you fight over whether being gay is a choice or not, you are silently accepting the anti-gay premise that being gay is something you have to excuse or defend.
The anti-gays are saying “Homosexuality is evil and wrong” and the pro-gay are saying “Yeah but dont blame us, we didn’t choose to be this way” which is a) defending yourself when you shouldn’t need to and b) accepting that homosex is wrong, but excusing yourself from blame by claiming you couldnt help it.
The correct answer is: “I’m sorry, I couldnt hear your stupidity over all the awesome gay sex I was having which, since it is legal and consentual, I can have whenever I like regardless of whether I had a choice to be gay or not”. ”
