Gay Rights: Stifling Choice

It is interesting to read how the gay community reacts to people who are no longer gay.

Case in point, the story that broke from CTV pulling an ad placed and paid for a year: a spot featuring a man who merely states that few voices ever talk about the fact that some homosexuals don’t want to be.  Some, even, no longer are.

This fella, he characterizes the message of the ad to be “Hi. Are you tired of all the discriminatory nonsense we put you gays through?  Well, turn straight!”  You can watch it yourself here.

Note the mischaracterization of the message: The message to him isn’t “if you don’t want to be gay, there’s help”, it’s “all gays must be cured”.  You hear what you want to hear I guess.

I am not sure why advocates of gay rights like to pretend that it is all the fault of the evil Christians.  The picture is painted that all gays were simply born sexually and emotionally attracted to the same gender.  Of course, this flies in the face of the accounts of many, many victims of physical, emotional and sexual abuse, who themselves point to such trauma as the origin for their attraction.  It is not as cut-and-dried as gay advocates would like to believe, whether or not there is a genetic origin of homosexual desire.

But even if there was, it would not matter.  The whole phraseology of GBLT lumps homosexuals in with transsexuals, for whom the genetic programming they have must be overcome, and also bisexuals, for whom the “gay lifestyle” seems to be a choice.  I am at a loss as to why lobbyists, so intent on protecting their freedom to be “gay”, would begrudge people the opportunity to choose the lifestyle that they desire.

I have met several men and women who used to be gay.  Their stories are both troubling and uplifting.  The rejection and the bigotry that they faced down in their younger years over their homosexuality was mirrored when they left that lifestyle behind.  Now, they face mockers and vile attacks from the homosexual community, for their own pursuit of what makes them happy.

But then again, it isn’t really about choice is it?  All those gays who think they’re not, they just need to shut up and be happy in their gayness, don’t they?

If they aren’t happy being gay, then they need counselling, therapy, perhaps some medications to treat their desire to be straight.

Because not wanting to be gay is just wrong.
