    I always feel like “Choose to not be gay” people

    1. Want to try sleeping with someone of their gender
    2. Decide to suppress their needs because of religion / societal pressure
    3. Say to themselves “I’m not gay because I married a women/man”
    4. Project this on to all people and say that gay people gave in to their desires while straight are strong and don’t

    They don’t realize not every man wants to suck dick.

    They don’t realize step 1 already makes them gay no matter their choices.

      This feels like the “One drop of blood” test but for sexuality. Things exist on a spectrum. Gay isn’t just “not straight”. People aren’t gay just because they wondered about same-sex relationships.
