I was just reading some posts in the queerchoice community, and I found it really interesting. I wouldn't say that I chose to be attracted to other females, but at the same time I get tired of "we're born this way" as a reason not to discriminate against us. I mean, sure, I think a lot of it is innate, but I dislike the idea that I am a victim of my genetics, and everyone should take pity on me and let me marry and adopt with other poor saps such as myself. Hrm.

I too don't necessarily think I choose to be a certain way, but I do think that I choose to live my life the way I am and not be in denial..Plus, even if it IS a choice, that shouldn't be an effective means of denying people rights given that in most constituencies religion is protected. And even then, the mere fact that policies worry about who should be protected is fcked up. Obviously some rules need to exist sometimes, but when it comes down to discrimination and/or benefits, in my book, the more people you don't allow into protection, the more inequality and the less justice you'll have.

It was good hanging out with you last night. I'm glad we were able to talk too, even though the security guard wasn't exactly hospitable.
