He'll more than likely say yes.
This ? on so many people, so they say, "yes I choose to be straight", rather than, "I don't need to think about it, I am naturally attracted to the opposite sex".
They're basically saying they've given being ? a thought.
NAW, I DIDNT SAY THAT...THANK YOU SIR....
LIKE I SAID, ITS NATURAL TO BE STRAIGHT (UNLESS YOU WERE MOLESTED OR SOME ? )
Nope.
Many people can tell you otherwise.
Plus you didn't answer.
Did you choose to be straight? -
What grown men do in their spare time doesn't concern me as long as they don't hurt others with whatever they're doing. I've been following NBA for years and I hadn't really heard of this ? n*gga TBH. Looked up his stats when the story broke and they weren't that impressive (no disrespect). It's kinda sad and funny that this n*gga 's biggest moment is him coming out instead of anything basketball related...
I got nothing against that ? lifestyle. I'm wearing Dolce & Gabbana sweatpants as I'm typing. What I don't like is the way these ? activists and the liberal media try to shove that lifestyle down everyone's throat. Not everyone is gonna accept your lifestyle. It has gotten to the point where you can't say anything they don't wanna hear or be called homophobe and face censorship. That's one thing I gotta hand to them. Unlike blacks they know how to pool their money together. Their lobby groups are strong.
I think it's disrespectful to compare their 'struggle' to blacks. You can't hide being black, while you can hide being ? ...
I also don't like the fact some of these activists are trying to shift anything their way. Like for instance if the 'holy' scriptures of a religion state that engaging in that lifestyle is a sin or w/e and that religion has been there several centuries, why would you try to change that? Like as a muslim I have the right to state that being a practising homosexual is sinful. Don't shame people into changing their religious beliefsystem so you'll feel better about yourself. It's like they realize time is on their side now and they wanna strike while the iron's hot... -
? whether it's a choice or not. I doubt it's the same for all ? people. If a ? was "attracted to" animals, I'm sure people wouldn't be arguing about whether or not he was "born that way".
Back to the thread topic though, ? don't need to come out and the media doesn't need to over publicize that ? but they do.
I agree w/ Dro's original post. Collins came out, even though nobody really cares, and a bunch of celebrities showed support - but why did they have to do that? Nobody gives a ? .
So now if you don't "commend" this ? on being ? , there's an issue ? -

ITS NATURAL/NORMAL TO BE STRAIGHT..
THE KEY GOES INTO THE KEY HOLE.. THATS HOW ? MADE IT....
SHALL WE GO ON?
says who ?
Umm... says nature? -
I don't know what the point is to him announcing it.
I dont agree with the lifestyle but truth be told I give no ? about whether the next man or woman is ? or lesbians.
It isnt effecting my money, health, or love ones so I could care less
Its not my job to put anyone in a jail cell or send anyone to hell so it's really none of my business.
Homosexuals been around since the beginning of time and they will be around at the end of time to. -

Don't understand why he had to mention he was black tho? Like folks didn't figure that out.
But you just made a clear distinction, though. You are either born with an attraction to men or to women. No choice in that matter. Whether or not you act on it is a different thing. That's like saying a ? who is attracted to only men but has sex with women only cause he doesn't want to be ridiculed isn't ? . That ? is still ? as ? . Just hasn't acted on it. -

I dont think the media pushes this to,make the world accept gayness, but to let people know its okay to be who you are.
I don't agree with that. The media is most definitely trying to make the world accept gayness. If it was just a matter of letting people know it's okay to be who you are, they'd just find ways to make that general statement. Instead, they push the ? agenda. It's one thing to talk about ? right in a political setting. It's another thing to flood every media outlet with conversation about a ? dude making it known that he's ? .

I watch basketball because I like the sport, and I don't need to know who they are ? . The fact that I can't even get through a game wrap-up without some 20 minute long conversation about some dude admitting he likes to pack fudge is ridiculous.
And I hate the comparison of being black to being homosexual. It's not the same thing at all. When it all comes down to it, a person's sexuality is their own business. There is no reason it should be public, and if they choose to make it public then it's on them to deal with whatever consequences arise. You can't hide being black. It's not something you can privatize or keep to yourself. It's who you are, not something that revolves around what you do.
This.

So what about the dudes that go to jail and ? other men? Was every man that went to jail and wound up having homosexual sex ? from the start, or was it something they chose to be based on the situation. What about all these chicks that are either doing ? ? because they are fed up with men or as part of a fad. Were they always ? ? And are they still ? even when they grow out of the phase, go back to men, and never look back.
I'm not saying there aren't people who are ? from birth and never really exhibited any other traits, but I think it's too broad a statement to say that being ? is not a choice. Lots of people make that choice. -

And some of the people who made public statements supporting him, including the Obamas, are probably doing that ? to further their own agendas. -

Okay, so you never had to think about your attraction to what sex, it was natural for you to like women. The same thing goes for homosexuals, they naturally like the opposite sex.
How the hell are you going to say that it's impossible? You already have a natural attraction, so they cannot?
Talk to a ? , ask them at what age they knew they were ? and if its natural. You'll get the same answer you provided, they were naturally attracted.
Don't start with "? intended" ? , because everyone does ? that would be considered "unnatural" in "gods" eyes. -

The dude has been ? . He even said other people knew. No one cares that much. It's only a big issue because he revealed it and now every news outlet is making it the top story. That's pushing an agenda. This ? shouldn't be front page news. Should it be reported? Yeah, I guess, but with all the ? going on nowadays, this should not be the biggest topic around. -
I do agree that there's a large portion of the media that goes on too hard of an attack when someone disagrees with being ? . Part of something being normalized is people disagreeing with it and that's something they're just going to have to accept. As well as people making jokes about ? folks and stop being so damned sensitive. It's funny that in trying to defend ? people they often act out one of the most common stereotypes, being overly sensitive.
Thing is though, when folks disagree with being ? they often don't keep it to just being ? it becomes that person is an abomination, worthless, less than human, doesn't deserve certain things etc. Yeah people have been killed and still are in parts of the world for being ? . That's what the coming out thing is for. To show people that ? folks are just that, normal people and their sexuality doesn't define the whole of who they are no more than it does us men who love ? or if you a hetero woman. -
nature says... there is Male... and Female...
They use their reproductive organs to procreate
Male Vs Male reproductive organs is UNNATURAL. thats not what they're there for,b. ? how people feel about it. ? how ? feel. ? religion. ? beliefs.
we talkin facts and science. That ? is NOT NATURAL, b.
edit: and i feel i have to add, i dont hate ? . jus cuz i dont hate em dont mean i dont think they are wrong. my step bro was ? , RIP to him -

Good point. But here's the thing: My definition (the RIGHT definition) of 'homosexual' is pretty well defined. People who are sexually attracted to the same sex. Think about that and then reconsider those questions you asked.

So a serial killer for example was born to ? ? Or someone is born a racist? Just b/c you have that "desire", you still choose to act on it. Whateva lifestyle that person chooses, that's their business. I just have an issue with folks tryin to compare that with being black. B/c it's not the same.
Maybe having our civil rights discriminated against, but that's it. Again, you can hide being ? . But you can't hide being black.
