Its the idea that "homosexuality is a choice" that is fogging up your perception and preventing you from seeing the connection I'm trying to make.
I'm fairly sure there wasn't a time in your life when you consciously said to yourself, "Gee...you know, I think I'm just gonna go ahead and like women because that seems like the better choice." In order for there to be a choice, there has to be an option. And if there isn't an option within your heart, then there isn't a choice to be made. In fact, more often than not, its the "heterosexuals" who are forced to make the choice when they know how they feel deep inside, but the people around them would cut them off at the drop of a hat upon learning about their true sexual orientation.
Sexual Orientation and Race are two different things, yes. I was making the comparison based on certain reactions generated by these traits. A gay person can hide their sexual orientation better than any person can hide their skin color. But neither should have to, especially not for people who are still living in the dark ages.
We're in the 21st Century, man! Maybe I'll see you there sometime...
