I believe in the future, likely in my lifetime, that there will be no big distinction between the genders... Children will grow up with a choice, be it heterosexual or homosexual seeing as anything goes under the prevailing societal norms. Its only a matter of time.[/b]
You really think sexual orientation is a choice? I find that opinion hard to reason with. I didn't choose my sexual orientation....I don't see why it's reasonable to assume that gays chose to be gay.
Maybe you chose unconsciously.. Maybe if from birth you grew up on an island with only homosexuals you would be open to the idea because of what that environment would have taught you.
Yes, i do think some gays born so while others become so as a product of their environment, experiences and upbringing.
For one example, what about the women who born completely heterosexual and have had toxic relationships with men that turn them off men completely.. Then through companionship with women, they develop feelings that eventually progress into homosexual relationships?? Were they born so or did they choose?
'I'm gay by CHOICE': Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon faces gay backlash after claiming she chooses to be homosexualCynthia Nixon has sparked a backlash after claiming she is gay by choice.
The former Sex and the City star is engaged to her long-term partner Christine Marinoni - with who she has an 11-month-old son Max
She was previously in a relationship with Danny Mozes for 15 years and had two children, Samantha, 15, and nine-year-old Charlie, with him.
She touched on her decision to become a lesbian during a recent speech which angered parts of the
LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) community.
And she sort to explain her position in a fresh interview with the New York Times on Sunday.
She said: 'I gave a speech recently, an empowerment speech to a gay audience, and it included the line "I've been straight and I've been gay, and gay is better."
'And they tried to get me to change it, because they said it implies that homosexuality can be a choice. And for me, it is a choice. I understand that for many people it's not, but for me it's a choice, and you don't get to define my gayness for me. A certain section of our community is very concerned that it not be seen as a choice, because if it's a choice, then we could opt out.
'I say it doesn't matter if we flew here or we swam here, it matters that we are here and we are one group and let us stop trying to make a litmus test for who is considered gay and who is not.'
Cynthia, 45, insists she hasn't always been gay and finds it 'offensive' that people say she has.
She continued: 'Why can't it be a choice? Why is that any less legitimate? It seems we're just ceding this point to bigots who are demanding it, and I don't think that they should define the terms of the debate.
'I also feel like people think I was walking around in a cloud and didn't realise I was gay, which I find really offensive. I find it offensive to me, but I also find it offensive to all the men I've been out with.'
And she claimed the homosexuals who are bent out of shape about her feelings on the issue are bigots.
She said: 'Why can’t it be a choice? Why is that any less legitimate?
'It seems we’re just ceding this point to bigots who are demanding it, and I don’t think that they should define the terms of the debate.
'I also feel like people think I was walking around in a cloud and didn’t realize I was gay, which I find really offensive.'I find it offensive to me, but I also find it offensive to all the men I’ve been out with.'
Cynthia went public with her romance with redhead Christine, 44, just a year after her relationship college sweetheart Danny ended in 2003.
Christine gave birth to the couple’s first child together last February, a baby boy they gave the colourful moniker Max Ellington Nixon-Marinoni.
Influential gay blogger and activist John Aravosis is one of those displeased by her choice of words.
He said: 'It's not a "choice," unless you consider my opting to date a guy with brown hair versus a guy with blonde hair a "choice."
'It's only a choice among flavours I already like.'
And he claimed she was just giving people peddling anti-gay views extra ammunition.
He said: 'Every religious right hatemonger is now going to quote this woman every single time they want to deny us our civil rights.'
Gay blogger, Perez Hilton weighed in too, saying: 'We totally hear her out and true, we cannot define her "gayness," but it wasn’t a choice for us. We were BORN gay. And millions of gay people around the world feel the same way.'
Her comments also attracted a strong reaction on Twitter, with one user posting: 'Two steps forward and three steps back, Cynthia tsk tsk.'
'You can CHOOSE to live your life openly or stay in the closet, but we’re NOT “Gay by Choice” #SorryCynthia,' wrote another.
Added another: 'Must admit Cynthia Nixon has done us no favours by saying its her 'choice' to be gay.'
The actress is currently promoting her new Broadway play Wit in which she plays a professor stricken with ovarian cancer.
Nixon, who dealt with a bout of breast cancer in 2006, unveiled a bald head on Live with Kelly today after shaving her head for the part.
