	miss73 picked Yes: i get angry when people say that...its ridiculous...to think that people are actually ignorant...on the subject about whether your born gay or if it was a choice... posted over a year ago.

	GaGaBoi picked Yes: what MrSymphonic said. posted over a year ago.

	TDI_Angel picked Yes: It's not a choice. If it was, who would choose it? If it was a choice, everyone would choose to be straight and not go through all the bull crap homophobes give LGBT people. You don't "choose" who you fall in love with! It really gets under my skin when people say that. My dad says it all the time. "I think it's a choice." I always blurt out "It's not a damn choice!" and get really pissed off... posted over a year ago.

	Mal-X picked Yes: you cant help what you feel inside! posted over a year ago.

	xxtaydenxx picked Yes: your born gay, bi or straight posted over a year ago.

	cdm02 picked Yes: Its NOT a choice. You dont wake up one day and think "Oh Im gonna be gay today.." it happens over time or you're born with it.. one of the 2. posted over a year ago.

	siri_soul picked Yes: sexuality is not a choice, I agree with cdm posted over a year ago.

	phantomrose5 picked Yes: It is not a choice, you can't chose your sexual preference on a day-to-day basis. What a ridiculous idea. posted over a year ago.

	Cookie_Glam picked Yes: To The People Who Say Sexuality Is A Choice? Oh Really? Well I Got A Idea For You And You Shouldn't Have A Problem Trying To Prove Me Wrong! Try Physically Finding The Same Gender Attractive Try To Be Gay For A Day Just To See If It's Possible! Then You Will See The Truth! Come One Seriously? I Mean Only Straight People Who Are Obviously Against Gay People Would Think This! Someday This Theory Will Be Tested And I Will Try To Mak This Happen To Shut Up Those Ignoramuses! This Is Like Saying You Choose Your Skin Color! If You Can't Choose Your Skin Color Than You Can't Choose Your Physical And Emotional Feelings? If Some One You Love Dies Do You Choose To Be Sad Or Does It Just Happen? Obviously You Wouldn't Choose To Be Miserable Over Some One! It Just Happens! This Isn't Even A Opinion It Is A Fact That It Is Humanly Impossible To Choose Your Sexual Orientation! posted over a year ago. last edited over a year ago

	NCIS_Addict_87 picked Yes: I do not believe sexuality is a choice... it's the way you are born. I mean I do not believe anyone straight or otherwise just woke up one day and decided they would be straight or gay then a month later woke up & decided not to be. It just doesn't work that way. posted over a year ago.

	lovelyass picked No: i dont reli care tbh(: i just think the pictures are pretty(: posted over a year ago.

	LittleMonster95 picked No: Some ppl have their own opinions.... But I believe what GaGa said about sexuality.... SEXUALITY IS NOT A CHOICE...WE ARE BORN THIS WAY...IF YOU ARE A GAY NOW, YOU WERE ALREADY BORN AS A GAY PERSON...THE SAME GOES FOR LESBIANS, BISEXUALS & TRANSGENDERS... XD posted over a year ago.

	pietruszka picked Yes: Idk if we are born this way, I think in some cases not, but it's because of the way we are raised, relationships with people, parents maybe, what happened in out life and we're not able to change it anyway... I think choosing orientation is the biggest lie ever, as well as "curing" homosexuality... You can only change who are you sleeping with, you cant change your orientation. posted over a year ago.

	sapherequeen picked No: It doesn't really irk me, but I just simply disagree with them. posted over a year ago.

	GarageGlamour picked Yes: Your born who and what you are, in most cases, it just takes time to shine threw. (-: posted over a year ago.

	qb2bu picked Yes: Yeah, it kinda bothers me. I can't be straight, I'm not wired that way. I like men and I can't change that. posted over a year ago.

	LOLerz25 picked No: It ain't botherin me though... =/ posted over a year ago.

	GaGaBoi picked Yes: link posted over a year ago.

	Elizewyn picked No: No because some people doesn't mean that "sexuality is a choice" but maybe "living their sexuality, gay, bi, straight, whatever..." is a choice. But if they really mean it, yes, it bothers me. posted over a year ago.

	Rosel_15 picked No, because I believe sexuality is a choice: well of course it's a choice...and peoples should respect our choices posted over a year ago.

	Mrs-Grint picked Yes: I was so frightend when I found out I was bi that I was quite ill for a couple of weeks. So, yes, it does bother me when people say it's a choice. posted over a year ago.

	missdada15 picked Yes: -.- It s not a f****** choice,if u think so then you must be bi witch can chosee a guy or a girl...lol posted over a year ago.

	renrae picked Yes: But MissDada15, that isn't true either. As a bisexual, I definitely do not choose between men and women. Maybe some people do, but I lean heavily towards women. You cannot choose who you are attracted to, period. posted over a year ago.

	XxSPXCupcakesXx picked Yes: I always say this 'Do you choose to be straight?' This one time I was talking with a group of friends and the subjects of homosexuals came up. One of my bestfriends told the only person in out group that I was a lesbian. I said "I would rather be straight" the girl said "Well why don't you be straight then." I got mad at her and started ranting, I was pissed for hours XD posted over a year ago.

	Vixie79 picked Yes: I know homosexuality is not a choice. You may be able to choose who you want, but not who you are inside. It makes me happy when people discover who they really are and are able to choose the right person for them to be happy. That's when it's no longer a lie. posted over a year ago.

	EclecticFan78 picked Yes: It makes me mad beyond belief when people claim it is a choice. I tried to end my own life because try as I might I just couldn't be straight and I thought being dead was better than living as a homosexual. Those were tough years and I am glad that I made it through them and came to peace with myself. Do I find women attractive? Yes. But in a way one would admire a work of art. When I see a guy I am attracted to, I get this tingly feeling inside, like a reflex, and I don't see how a person can choose a reflex. posted over a year ago.

	AWarnerS picked No: It depends. Most LGBTs are born that way, but some were straight in the past and became gay later in life because of something that happened. They chose their sexuality, but most don't. posted over a year ago. last edited over a year ago

	Cinders picked Yes: I have never met anyone in the LGBT community who consciously chose to be gay, ever. And I am very active in the community. I have met people who have had straight relationships - and were genuinely attracted to their hetero partner - and then later fell in love with someone of the same sex. For me, that's not choosing sexuality, that's just being bisexual. posted over a year ago.

	Dimentia44 picked Yes: You can choose who you fuck, but you can't choose who you WANT to fuck. posted over a year ago.

	EgoMouse picked No: Eh, they can think whatever they want. It doesn't change a fact, and if I know it is genetics, than I have nothing to fear from homophobic person's opinion. There does seem to have some people that weren't actually born LGBT. I suppose there are exceptions at times. posted over a year ago.

	glelsey picked Yes: I know people who seem to think that, if you choose to hide you sexuality, you are changing your sexuality. For example, a friend of mine has a brother who came out as gay a few years ago. His mother disowned him (not exaggerating - they don't talk anymore and he lives with his dad now). My friend told me that his mum will only forgive the brother if he someday "goes back to being straight". She treated him like his coming out was an act of rebellion, rather than him figuring out his orientation. She acted like he used to be straight (my guess is he had some heterosexual relationships before he knew his orientation) and that he has the choice to make himself straight again. It's just ridiculous. Also, I think what Dimentia44 said nailed it. Who you go with is a choice (you can choose to come out or you can choose to keep your orientation hidden, and you can choose who you ask out) but who you actually have a preference for is not something you have control over! It's silly to assume sexuality is a choice because, by that logic, people get to choose who they get crushes on. No. You don't get to choose your feelings. You get to choose whether or not you act on them. posted over a year ago. last edited over a year ago

	nimone picked Yes: Sexuality can't be a choice if that were true we would all be straight as in most societies there are more benefits for people that are straight than for us who are gay. In Russia you can be beaten to death in a public place for being gay and the police will not do anything about it. posted over a year ago.

	IllusionDolls picked Yes: why would anyone choose to face that oppression posted over a year ago.

	xXTheMangleXx picked No: Eh, it's a choice for some people. [eg. people who have had abusive relationships with the opposite sex] posted over a year ago. last edited over a year ago

	misscindyspice picked Yes: ^No. No. No no no no it's not. At all. Oh my god is it not. Sexuality is not. A. Choice. posted over a year ago.

	BennieBear27 picked Yes: This definitely bothers me. I doubt many people CHOOSE to just be a part of a minority's group, especially one that is just recently starting to be accepted into society! posted over a year ago.
