Agreed, the right wing fringe loonies have the habit of saying that everything they do not like is a choice by those whom they hate. For example, they hate gays or want them penalised for being gay because "they chose to be gay." That is bollocks of course. I am fully heterosexual because I was born that way. I only desire sex with women and limited to my wife since marriage in 19**. I can not personally understand sex with another man. So it makes sense to me that if heterosexuality is genetic and biological, homosexuality must also be biological and not a choice. I did not choose to desire women. It just happened. Gay people would not choose to be gay. There is no advantage in doing that. Being gay means discrimination, overt hate towards them, risk of being beaten, and risk of diseases spread by homosexual acts. If it were pure choice, none would pick being gay. Some rigid Christians have accused me of chosing to not believe in god. That is silly. Why would I do that? Growing up in the north of Scotland, the majority of people were Christians. All but 4 of my friends in primary school class were Christians. I did not choose. I just doubted the existence of God because it did not make sense to me. Did the Southern Baptist Segregationists justify black slavery because they believed Africans chose to be black. Did they justify segregation and Jim Crow because Blacks were black by choice? Were women penalised and not allowed to vote because they had chosen to be female? Amergin
