Far from it. I think that if you're gay you have every right to love, sex, Marry and do as you damn well please with who you'd like. And anyone who feels like you dont you should promptly tell to kiss your ass. I make the distinction between the two because I do not believe being gay is a choice but I do recognize that there are choices that exist for gay people that dont exist for others. Can you choose to hide your sexuality? Yes. Can you choose to ignore it? Yes. Does that make the fact that hiding who you are will make you better off in society right? Hell no. But it does give you an option that others dont have. My sense of morality is pretty basic treat people with humanity and love.
I said Gay people have a choice OTHERS do not have. I did not say they have a choice that straight people dont. Gay and straight people have pretty much the same choices. I was making a distinction between other groups who are discriminated agains that dont have the ability to hide their ism. So, black/latino/ethnic people, women, etc. These oppressed groups do not have the option to hide or cover up who they are to get equal treatment. A gay white male can choose not to diclose to avoid discrimination at work whereas a black/latino person or a woman would not have that option.

That's literally the dumbest thing I've ever read. Next people will just expect women to have sex change operations, people of color to do the whole MJ thing...we can all make choices, but none of us should be expected to.
