Many of the people that think being gay is a choice are in fact bisexual. So for them it's a choice on whether or not to act on it. They assume everyone else works the same way.
I choose to be monogamous with my partner. When I was single there was not a single conscious thought rattling around the horn brain.
I would think that everyone choosing their sexuality implies that everyone essentially has the ability to 'be' any sexuality.
From a logical perspective that implication is true, choosing your sexuality implies you have a choice. However, I disagree with the premise that there is a choice to begin with.
I do not choose to be straight, I just am. I'm not gay, and no amount of choosing will change that. I'm a guy, and I can choose to look for a boyfriend, but it won't change the fact that I'm attracted to women. Now maybe I discover that I'm actually attracted to both men and women, but I would argue that discovering is different from choosing. Choosing would mean that I can choose to not be attracted to a gender, which I can't. I can only choose whether or not I act on it.
Obviously they're bisexual, monosexuals are a myth.
You're bi or you're ace, and everyone is just one "being trapped on a deserted island with a hottie not of their usual preference" from recognizing it.
That's right, monosexuals, now YOU'RE being erased, deal with it.
It's a spectrum.
The "it's a choice" move is just to avoid having to discuss exactly why they believe gay people should not only be punished in this world, but for all eternity. Always move the conversation in the direction whenever they use it.
Denying your sexuality is a choice, but the sexuality itself is not.
Did she chose to like women?
You misunderstand. Obviously, everyone feels homosexual attraction, "being" gay is choosing to act on that attraction. That's what they mean when they say "being gay is a choice".
