I'm not sure if I should even post this*
I have just realized that being gay is, in fact, a choice.
Gays usually respond to the assertion that being gay is a choice by asking who would choose to be gay when gays are subject to so much prejudice in this country.
However, I think that being gay must have enough subversive appeal to them that it's worth the personal risks they take by being gay. What we need to do is persecute them more, so that the risks of persecution outweigh the thrill of undermining the sacred institution of marriage. And I know how much persecution would be sufficient. We just have to treat them the same way Iran would treat them. It worked for Iran: Iran does not have any homosexuals.
*for fear that it will be taken up as a serious argument by the religious right.
