I am sick of people telling me that what I choose to do with my life is wrong. First of all what is it any of your business what I do with my life as long as it doesn't affect you. Second I wish it was a choice but its not. I did not choose to be a lesbian. I can not help that I am attracted to or fall in love with women.
People who just stick their nose in my business and tell me that just because I don't follow the "norm" of society I am wrong and the choices I make are wrong. Who are you to tell me what is normal or right. And personally normal to me means like everyone else and I don't want to be a cookie cutter mold person. I think the best thing about people is the differences that we have and how every one has their own likes, dislikes, personalities. I don't want to be a clone like every one else... and I personally don't get the whole fitting in fad. I wish every one would see that its ok for people to have a sexual orientation that deviates from the traditional view of sexual orientation.
Its not like I have chosen to have the sexual orientation I have. As long as I can remember I have never been truly attracted to any man or boy. I pretended to be and even at one point had my conscious self convinced that I was attracted to men but I was constantly having dreams about women. I feel the only choice connected with sexual orientation is whether to be true to your self and come out of the proverbial closet. My favorite question to ask people who tell me that I could choose to not be gay is one a friend of mine once asked someone who was giving the two of us a bunch of trouble because he is bisexual and I am a lesbian. He asked this person, who just happened to be straight, "When did you choose straight? The day you can tell me the day you choose to be straight is the day you can tell me I can choose to not be."
One of my other favorite questions to ask people is "Who are you to judge me? Have you gone through great persecution and discrimination?" I fell like let those who have never been truly persecuted don't know how truly harmful it is.
Who are you to judge me?

While I can't say I know where you are coming from, because I've never been attracted to the same sex, I have full support for people doing what they choose. I think it's completely unfair that people aren't accepted because of their sexual orientation. You are right though, if it's not hurting them then it's not their business. Big props for standing up for yourself and fellow homosexuals all over.
It sounds like you missed half the point of the post >.< but thats ok I thank you for your support. The half I think you missed was the part where its not a choice its just who we are so its not doing what we choose its being who we are
opps I guess that was actually a wording mistake on my part...let me rephrase for you...I meant I think it's stupid that people don't get accepted for being themselves and choosing not to conform...sry about that I actually didn't miss that part I'm just a mess at wording sometimes.
