    Tattoos are a choice, would you be denied services because you have a tattoo? Or I don’t serve women wearing pants, because I think they should only wear dresses.

    Obviously I disagree, but I also want to point out that many conservatives think being gay or trans is a choice.

      And they’d be wrong. Being gay is a choice as much as being straight is.

      I’m always quick to point out if someone believes being gay is a choice, they are admitting THEY actively are choosing not to be gay everyday… that they actually could find the same sex attractive but choose not to.

        Sure, but to the religious right, they think they are right in that sexuality is a choice, and also that they are never wrong.

        Of course they’re wrong, but that’s what they think and that’s how they will discriminate. Well they to discriminate based on what you’re born as too so it really doesn’t matter. But they think it’s a choice, yes often because they are bi and to them it’s a choice to act on it, so they project.
