Why is it so hard for others to accept the fact that YES...hetero people actually do choose their own life paths?
What is so hard to understand that the average human is where they are as a result of cumulative choices they made in life?
This was a direct question and I would appreciate the same courtesy in your answer. A question, or bringing up an unrelated topic is not an answer but a diversion.
If I was somehow vague then by all means I will try to be more clear...just let me know.

Good question. We do choose our direction in life. To say that we don't have choices, that our decisions are genetic is just a lie we tell ourselves to avoid taking personal responsibility.

When was the first time you saw a girl and felt a warm tingling inside your gut that told you there was something exciting about her? Looking at a member of the opposite sex and getting that enticing tingle is the essence of heterosexuality.
I don't get that urge when I look at women. I can understand beauty and what makes one woman sexier than another. However, it's the same kind of feeling I get by seeing a beautiful piece of artwork or a beautiful sunrise.
When I look at a man, if he is what I deem to be goodlooking, then I get that flurry of emotions that mean I am sexually aroused. That is the essence of homosexuality.
I didn't choose that kind of reaction. I happens.

I'm sorry but i'm really not sure what your point is.
Everyone makes decisions that result in where they are today.
Although I may regret some of my actions I would never want to change a thing about my past because each choice and action I have made has shaped who I am today, and I like me now.
Everyone chooses their own life path. True.
I don't see why this is relevant to this section, unless you are implying that sexuality is a choice. In which case I think you are wrong because I don't believe we choose who we are attracted to. We do choose how we react to each attraction though.

I guess I'm not clear on where you are coming from... I personally have never found it to be a controversy that (at least in comfortable, first world circumstances) human beings get to choose their life paths. It's kind of a given, in my experience.
I am not sure what this has to do with being heterosexual, except maybe if you are referring to the sad fact that homosexuals are not allowed to choose legal marriage as a life path? If that is your point, then I all I can contribute is that folks need to research their voting options and start making changes in their leadership. Eventually, the reasonable expectation of a legal marriage contract can be for anyone.
Here's hoping my vote counts...

I don't actually understand the question. Everyone chooses their own life path, so why did you actually limit it to heterosexuals? Career, house, and even spouse. I'm not sure what you are asking here.
As for the part about you being vague, that is just your MO. What I believe that you are trying to imply is that being gay is one of these life choices that you are suggesting. And quite frankly, it is not. Although I DO get to choose my spouse, I do NOT get to choose the gender I am attracted to. Quite frankly, I don't believe you are being vague. I think you are being obtuse.

Do you mean choosing their sexuality, or choices leading up to their life (excluding the sexuality) that places them where they are?
I would agree with the latter, but not the former. However, even then, the probability of certain events are sometimes out of their control completely.

Now stop it. You're being naughty and you know it. If the Heterosexuals who really mattered -- politicans, parents, pastors (hey 3 P's) would actually do what their Jesus asked them to do and Love, we wouldn't all be in this mess. You're only fueling this fire.
There's not a thing wrong with being a Heterosexual as there is nothing wrong with being a Homosexual. provided one is having consentual adult sex, stay the heck out of my bedroom, living room, garage, box hedge or wherever else one choosing to have relations.
Now let the bloody matter drop. I've a splitting headache.
