Sangra:
Our sexuality and gender identity were never choices. We have always been what we are. The problem is whether or not we realized it. If you read the stories of gay and transgender people, what you will find is that young kids knew that they were different in some way, but had no understanding and no vocabulary to describe what they were feeling. For example, if a girl child wanted to play with cars and trains and do boy things instead of dolls and cooking sets, parents and others more than likely attempted to change that behavior. Similarly, if a boy child wanted to play games with girls instead of sports with boys, parents and others more than likely attempted to change that behavior. In both cases, neither has any sense of sexuality or gender identity. They just happened to hit upon what was enjoyable and made sense. How can you choose something when you have no idea as to what the choices are?
Further, this is why conversion therapy doesn’t work. You can change something that is innate. That’s what makes “Don’t Say Gay” absolutely useless. It won’t change a thing…
