Billboard proclaims "Nobody is born gay"
December 11, 2014 at 5:17 pm (This post was last modified: December 11, 2014 at 5:17 pm by Foxaèr.)
Quote:A group claiming to advocate for "ex-gays" has purchased a billboard along a busy Virginia highway proclaiming that "Nobody is born gay," reports Richmond TV station WWBT.

PFOX is a nonprofit organization which claims that people can choose not to be gay, stating on its website that "people deserve to know the truth about the many men, women, and children who have made the decision to change their lives" and "overcome same-sex attraction." Founded in 1998, PFOX proudly announces it "was created specifically to be an alternative to the misinformed gay family groups which insist that parents only prove their love for their gay child if they support gay rights and affirm their child's self-proclaimed gay identity. PFOX teaches parents that it's ok to love their children without placing any conditions on that love."

As utter and unbelievable horseshit as it is to say "Someone chooses to be gay", even if it were true that people 'choose' to be gay... So fucking what? What would it change about how we should treat homosexuals?

So, is it this? People choose to be gay, ergo it's OK to treat them inequally?

No. No it isn't.

It doesn't matter if someone is born gay or not. People are born with all kinds of natural deficiencies.

Being homosexual is a deficiency?
