Do any straight people think that they CHOOSE to be straight?
I saw Jerry Falwell on tv once talking about how homosexuality is a choice, and that he chooses to be straight and be married to a wonderful woman, blah, blah, blah. In that case, doesn't it make sense that all of the "straight" men who insist that homosexuality is a choice are actually really hot for that cute construction worker in the tight jeans, but they resist him because they CHOOSE to be straight. And all straight women are really attracted to a hot woman, but they CHOOSE to be straight!
If homosexuality was truly a choice, then heterosexuality would have to be a choice, too. Imagine that... Jerry Falwell must fantasize about playing the skin flute... thank god he chooses to be straight.

So, georgeewert just to make sure we all understand what you are saying... you get really hot and bothered over a big, hairy guy in tight pants, and can't stop fantasizing about him sexually... but you CHOOSE to be straight. Thank you for clarifying.

Take Ted Haggard. (Please! -rimshot-) As much as he wanted to be straight, and to convince the world that he is straight, that guy is gay. And no amount of praying, pretending, marrying a woman, or CHOOSING to be straight, etc., made "the gay" go away. He just chose to hide it... and failed. He said he has struggled with it all his life.
The only choice you have regarding your sexuality is choosing whether to live an authentic life as the person you are, or not.
Straight people, do you struggle with being straight?
Or is it just who you are, and you don't even have to think about it?
(By the way, I'm a lesbian, and I don't struggle with it. I just live as the person I am... and I'm pretty darn happy.)

I don't know why these birdbrains don't understand that sexual orientation is not a choice. With all the crap and homophobia gay people have to deal with why would anyone "choose" to be homosexual? I didn't choose to be straight. When I was a girl and started having sexual feelings my brain and body just responded to guys. The same exact thing happens with gay people except they respond to the same gender. I've never been able to understand why these boneheads don't get this. Fat pigs like Falwell are just idiots who talk out of their fat a*ses.

Sexuality isn't a choice. However, if you are a male and are naturally attracted to other males, but "choose" to be with a woman, this technically is choosing to be straight, however it's simply not the natural flow of things for you. So, yes you can choose, it doesn't mean it's natural for you though. It's like lying to yourself. If you have to choose your sexuality then it seems to me like you are trying to resist what you really feel.

Religion aside, I think we may have some control over what attracts us and what doesn't. On the other hand many "attractions" are developed in your young formative years, and we may not have much control over those. I doubt that there is a simple answer.
Good point though about choosing to be straight...

confident, both are thoughts. Heterosexuals can replace into homosexuals, homosexuals can replace into heterosexuals, and both can replace into sexually aroused by ability of an staggering type of alternative sorts of sexual stimuli. As ideas, the excellent majority of gay adult men have had sex with females individuals. As a 4-365 days learn of 128 gay adult men by ability of a UCLA professor of psychology printed, "more effective proper than ninety 2 %. of the gay adult men had dated a woman at it slow, 2-thirds had sexual sex with a woman." As a heterosexual, i keep in mind that I deliberately cultlivated my interest in females and deliberately prevented comments that could want to wish to have formed gay needs. as an get jointly, i did not learn gay pornography, settle for invites to gay contact, undertake gay dress or mannerisms, or domesticate close friendships with homosexuals. in evaluation, i replace into intensely in touch interior the female style, worked as a lot as now particularly females, and cultivated a romantic relationship that led to an somewhat lengthy and pleasant marriage with my major different. Dennis Prager's column on Judaism's Sexual Revolution (see link below) is the proper short clarification of sexuality i have were given study those days. Cheers, Bruce

I find the people who think that the feelings of homosexuality are not a choice, but then expect you to "choose" to be with someone of the opposite gender, based on religion funnier. As if lying to and deceiving everyone around you isn't a sin either..
I'd like to see all of them try to "choose" to have some gay feelings. They'd break their tiny brains trying.

Heterosexuality is not a choice. It's natures plan. All living things have evolved through the thousands of years to what we have today. Normal sexuality keeps life on this planet going. If it were not for normal sex life would come to an end. Normal is normal, anything else is not.
Jerry Falwell is free to say whatever he cares to, that doesn't mean anyone has to listen to him.

Falwell is a fool. It isn't a choice, it is the way you are born. I have friends that are gay and they even tried to fight it when they were younger but couldn't. Falwell should find another line of work because hate doesn't work in religion.

No, but then again I never thought that homosexuality is a choice.
I always wonder if the people that do say that being gay is a choice are really just so closeted that they can't even come out to themselves that they are gay.

No sexuality is a choice. Virtually every psychological authority on the face of the planet has been telling us for nearly 4 decades and in no uncertain terms that sexuality is NOT a choice and that it is NOT changeable. Homosexuality is just as natural, normal and healthy an orientation as heterosexuality.
