Choose a gay lifestyle? Since that is a fairy tale, that would be my answer.

We didn't choose to be gay, but we chose to be closeted or out. So I guess it's forgivable if they ask why we "chose" the gay lifestyle.. It just means that's our "out" lifestyle.
That being said, fairies are "soft", magical and feminine. It used to be that homosexual guys are only those that are effeminate, so queens, fairies, princesses, etc. are used to refer to them. Just another way of labeling people.

Because where gays are magical like fairies! It takes a ***** to really make magic happen where hair, decorating, designing, and other creative fields... based on typical gay-stereotyping. In hollywood gays are always buzzing around, light on their feet, making whitty remarks...
Oh yes! I found this at http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A412570
Fairy, Sissy, Queen, Puff, Poof, Poofter, Swish, Pansy
A typical method of insulting gay men has been to reference objects and adjectives that have feminine connotations, thus putting forth the stereotype that all gay men are effeminate or weak.
Examples Include 'pansy', 'gladiola', 'buttercup', 'cupcake', 'fruitcake', 'flit', and 'nancy-boy'. 'Sissy' was a term actually coined within the gay community to describe the habit of discussing gossip, and was originally slang for sister. The word took a turn during WWII, when sissy was applied to heterosexual males refusing to fight. A similar term during the 1900s was 'queen', referring to some transvestites' exaggerated female mannerisms. Another related term was 'fairy'. In stories and poems for children, fairies are inevitably described as tiny, graceful, delicate, and of course female. 'Puff' stems from the phrase 'light as a cream puff', meaning someone who weighs very little. 'Poof' and 'Poofter' are probably derived from puff. 'Swish' is an onomatopoetic word, referring to the sound a skirt makes while walking. The word was originally used only to describe women, but it became a noun for gay men in the early 1900s. Such insults serve to portray gay men as easy victims, and so they may be used as a mild threat of physical force.

We don't "choose" a gay lifestyle. *rolls eyes* Stop instigating... besides, the only thing I associate with "fairy" are "fairy tales" aka the Bible.

I don't know, but homosexuals don't choose to be gay anymore than heterosexuals choose to be straight.
