The question that makes fundies hostile

[Esquilax]

If gay people can't/don't exercise choice, (in the same way as bi-curious ppl do or celibate people do, or heterosexual male prisoners do, etc. etc.) then how come some gay people choose to try gay conversion therapy???

For the same reason left handed people, during the time when being left handed was considered sinister, chose to learn to write right-handed: because of pervasive, baseless religious superstition.

A person who has no ability to choose their sexual preference would not have the capacity to contemplate such an irrelevant thing.

By that reasoning, my sister shouldn't have been able to spend her teenage years wishing she was taller, because she has no ability to choose to be tall. And I can't wish my eyesight was better, because I have no choice on that issue.

The things you can affect, and the things you wish you could affect, are two different sets. Stop conflating them.

And speaking of bisexuality, I've always found it somewhat odd that homophobes bring that up in these discussions of choice; I'm bi too, but even I'm restricted by my orientation, since I can't choose to not find men attractive, nor can I increase my level of attraction to one or the other gender. I am where I am, even if that's more flexible that some.
