Being gay is a fetish.

I see people continue to confuse sexuality with sexual acts. I can only put this down to religious propaganda and a lack of real education on the subject.

After listening to all this stuff, I can only come to one conclusion. Anyone who says that sexuality is a choice (and of course only "straight" people say this) is themself either gay or bi. They have experienced sexual attraction to the same gender and have "chosen" to suppress it. If that's not the case, the person has made no choice whatsoever in being "straight" and is just talking absolute shit. Again, confusion between sexuality and sexual acts plays into this mislabelling of themself.

You can't choose your sexuality, but you can choose what you tell people your sexuality is and what gender you pursue. It's not surprising that religious people especially would feel pressured into doing this, because of the heavily homophobic nature of many religions.

This is not meant as an insult or judgement, it's my genuine assessment. If you say you have made a choice, I think you're either gay, bi or talking shit.
