If someone is born gay, it's because their Mom was pissed off when she was pregnant...

Well, this asshole says so...

Conservative "activist" Jesse Lee Peterson says that some people can be born gay “if their mother is angry” while they are in the womb, resulting in them being “spiritually traumatized.”

Who was gay the day he was born. I've known him from day one and I'm here to tell anyone who will listen that a gay person is born, not made. I know I was there. Its not me rather a very special person to me. I get fighting mad when I hear someone insinuate that being gay is a choice. Who would chose to be something they're not, sexually that is

Sorry for my rant but I just had to type this

Peace

And it's a terrible thing. I hate the idea of closeted individuals forcing themselves to be what society accepts. Elton John comes to mind.

Gender is not binary. And that should be understood.

We have a dear friend who is also closeted but, everyone KNOWS IT. It's as if he just won't claim the title or something.

But it's his business, he lives happily.
