What do you think?

I was listening to a late night radio programme some weeks ago that addressed (for me) an interesting issue. A middle aged gay guy was on the phone who made the statement that if he had a choice, then he would opt for being straight.

You can imagine the amount of gay bashing muppets on the line that rang in and said "you must be unhappy with your sexuality/it was a choice you made in the first place now unchoose it" etc. I was talking to a gay friend of mine one night (I'm straight) and she said basically the same as the guy that rang in that was gay. She said that straight people have a much easier time of it because at the end of the day, society still doesnt accept gay people as much as it does straight people, especially in the rural Ireland.

As a second thought, I've posted a poll on this as well, as I am interested to find out how many gay people out there, if they could be, would be straight (purely for ease of social acceptance).

What a lot of straight people dont get is, being gay isnt a choice, you're pretty much born that way, just like us straight folk.
