Somebody to love?

I definitely disagree when people try to say people can choose whether or not to be gay. If they could, I don’t think they would be choosing to grow up and live the way they do a lot of the time. Like we talked about in class a little, when we were watching the video you could see how hard different aspects of their lives were with trying to have a family. It sounded like, more than anything, raising children was the hardest thing to do. Often times, like we read and as we heard in the movie, the children are mocked because of their family life, even when they’re straight. If parents were able to choose how to live and who to love I don’t think they would decide to see their children struggle through their school years and on. If people could choose who they fall in love with you would think they would decide to be with the person they could marry and get the usual benefits from by doing so. I just don’t understand the reasoning behind the logic when people actually believe that it’s a decision you can make out of free will. Things just don’t seem to add up when you look at all the pros and cons and the different aspects of being a heterosexual couple versus being in a homosexual relationship.
