If she says “for her” it is all good. I have a thoughtful intelligent lesbian friend that feels the same way. I do not understand nor can I relate. Putting on a dress and high heels is a choice for me. Having sex with a man is a choice is for me.
But being gay, being sexually attracted to men… there is no choice there for me. And I thank god for that, cause it means I can live in a community the celebrates me putting on a dress and having sex with as many men as I like.
If it was a choice dont you think there would be more of us!
It’s ignorant comments such as this, made by actress Cynthia Nixon, that continues to be a catalyst to the homophobia we have all have had, and continue to, fight throughout our lives. Trying to educate the general public that being gay is GENETIC, and is in no way whatsoever, a personal choice to a “true gay person”.
If she, and other Lesbians, want to “play house” with a member of the same sex, she’s certainly free to do so. However, if she, and others, are going to use their fame to promote idiotic and detrimental statements such as what she is allegedly quoted as saying in the “Long Island Press”, please, Ms. Nixon and all others with such adolescent views, keep those offensive comments to yourselves to comment at your dinner parties, and leave the Press for those of us who were genetically predisposed to choosing another man for our boyfriends and husbands, not by a conscious choice of what sex we want to date, but by nature, inherently knowing there are no choices in whom we want to date, aside from our enthusiastic internal programming telling us implicitly that we want to date and marry another man…and we are thrilled our genes are arranged in such a manner that we were destined to carry-on the gifts of having been genetically-wired homosexuals. Just as our genetics were deciding factors in determining our eye color, hair color, whether we would develop male or female, et al — we men were also genetically encoded that we would choose a man as a mate, and now (thank God) we have the right to legally validate our love for one another in marriage.
