    Of course.

    I think I'll choose to be attracted to men today. Might be good for a change of pace.

    I was born in NY, have brown hair and blue eyes. I also am tall for my age.

    I don't ever remember choosing these things nor whom I'm attracted too....so NO it's not.

    NO? I just happened to come into this world in New York many years ago. How would I choose that?

    If someone asks me it, then it does matter. I hate getting asked by my mom "so how's your gay phase going?". Should I ask "how's your 5'7 stature coming along?"

    I was being comically sarcastic to your absolute perfect answer to the ridiculous question.

    wait...you're from JERSEY?! *refrains from comments*. Just kidding, I like NJ a lot (Seaside Hts, Seabright, etc.). Sorry about that giant blob of a governor you have who vetoed the gay rights bill :frowning2:.

    If being gay/straight is a choice, I didn't get the memo. It wasn't a choice for me.

    You don't choose it. You are who you are. As Lady Gaga would say, "BABY I WAS BORN THIS WAY!" :grin:

    No, not at all. You can choose who you sleep with sure, you can't choose who you're attracted to.

    I never chose it but I did try to choose being straight for years. It didn't work.

    No, you definitely cannot choose it. Liking guys just doesn't feel right to me. If I tried to be with a guy, it would feel wrong to me and like I wasn't being true to myself. Regardless though, I hate when people say being gay is a choice as if gay people are just being rebellious and trying to go against the grain. They also often say it so flippantly like it would be so easy for a gay person to become straight if they really wanted to be. When someone tries to say being gay is a choice, I always want to show them this video.

    Like Neatly Organized said, you can choose who you sleep with, but you can't help who you fall in love with. I personally wouldn't want to sleep with a girl, because 1.) i find the female genitalia gross, and 2.) i wouldn't want to sleep with somebody i don't love, and I don't love girls. Yeah, I love them as friends, but I am attracted to guys. I didn't choose to be attracted to guys. one day, I justlooked at a guy and said "DAMN, HE'S CUTE!"
