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 really think that a) it's pretty hard to define "choice" when it comes to physical attractions and emotional bonds, and b) it is a BAD MOVE on the part of the gay community to hitch our public approval wagon to genetics. I mean, it just may not work out - there is no guarantee the science will tell us what we want to hear. And then what? It's just no good, politically. Sigh.
