Re: Choices

[thansen@moscow.com]

Greetings Visionaires -

It has been stated that homosexuals chose to be homosexual.  That argument is 
no more valid than claiming homosexuality is a sickness (could you imagine 
calling your boss and saying, "Sorry, boss.  Can't come to work today.  Still 
gay.").

I am heterosexual.  Always have been and will remain so for the forseeable 
future.  One thing I definitely do not recall in my life is "When did I decide 
to be heterosexual?"  As far back as I can possibly remember, I have always 
preferred females.  I am just as certain that homosexuals did not wake up one 
morning and say, "It is a warm, sunny morning and I feel great.  Think that I 
will be gay today."

Take care,
