1. Many choosing that lifestyle were abused as children.
2. It is an unhealthy way of life, with a higher risk of physical and mental disease than straight people.
3. The risk of sexual violence against them is higher than with straights.
4. It is morally wrong.

I choose straight.

The first one is the one that jumps off the page:

43.8% of lesbian women and 61.1% of bisexual women have experienced rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner at some point in their lifetime, as opposed to 35% of heterosexual women.

The rest of their stats didn't appear to me to be out of the ordinary, or were irrelevant in that it didn't present the stats for heterosexuals. Which is odd because it seems to be a legit LGBTQ support site.

2. It is an unhealthy way of life, with a higher risk of physical and mental disease than straight people.

Not true. Straight females are more likely to contract AIDS or any other STD compared to gay females.

The problem is male biology, as it makes them both transmitters and receivers. Because straight couples and gay male couples contain at least one male, and lesbian couples do not, lesbian couples are the safest when it comes to diseases.

Your 1 and 4 are just opinions, but your 3 is specifically avoiding the more prominent acts of violence against them which is caused by bigotry.

"3 is specifically avoiding the more prominent acts of violence against them which is caused by bigotry."

This was my first impression when I read it. But the statistic I posted from the link gave me pause, specifically the qualifier "by an intimate partner."

I might interpret that to mean that a straight man who was a lover with a woman, who then realized that she was lesbian, and dumps the man, provokes much more intense rage in the man, than the same circumstances involving a straight man and a straight woman. Which frankly I don't understand.

In my mind (I'm a man) I would be LESS angry if a woman dumped me for another woman, because I just can't BE another woman, I'm not in the competition. And if I may be boorish, if we were otherwise on friendly terms, and the two women were attractive...

Another interpretation of that particular statistic could be that straight women lie, or that they are more tolerant of abusive behaviour by men. Which is also not surprising, IMO. It takes courage to come out and openly be LGBTQ, and that courage would translate into "I'm not going to lie about the shit I've had to deal with."

YIKES.

No need to lie. Straight. Having a gay child would be a mark a shame and then whenever the question comes up, is there a history of mental illness in your family, I would have to check yes now because of them.

As long as it was not a Republican or Right-Wing loonie, I'd be overjoyed with either gender preference.

reply

[–] Bubbathegut (18241) 4 years ago

Either gender? what? Gay is not a gender.

reply

[–] chilone (18316) 4 years ago

You clearly didn't read my post. I said you HAD to choose.

reply

[–] Burk48917 (11519) 4 years ago

Is gay or straight a gender preference?

reply

[–] JoWilli (21595) 4 years ago

straight, but in todays culture, you can get put to the front of the line if you are gay/transgender.

reply

[–] Kowalski (78914) 4 years ago

I REALLY DON'T CARE...I HAD A CHILD AND THE OLDER SHE GETS THE MORE I WISH SHE WERE GAY...GUYS ARE GROSS.

reply

[–] chilone (18316) 4 years ago

Girls can be quite gross too but be that as it may, I said you HAD to choose.

reply

[–] Kowalski (78914) 4 years ago

FINE...I CHOOSE GAY.

reply

[–] chilone (18316) 4 years ago

I also said you HAD to be honest.

reply

[–] Kowalski (78914) 4 years ago

BASED ON MY SITUATION AND THINKING...GAY IS THE HONEST ANSWER.

reply

[–] chilone (18316) 4 years ago

So you would prefer for your daughter to be gay?

reply

[–] Kowalski (78914) 4 years ago

BASED ON WHO SHE IS AND MY KNOWLEDGE OF MEN?...YES.

reply

[–] chilone (18316) 4 years ago

Sad.

reply

[–] Kowalski (78914) 4 years ago

THAT'S A BIG JUDGEMENT FROM SOMEONE WHO KNOWS LITTLE TO NOTHING ABOUT THE SPECIFICS THAT LED ME TO MY ANSWER.

reply

[–] chilone (18316) 4 years ago

Well please, enlighten me. I can't fathom what could be so bad that you would not want her to be interested in ANY man.

reply

[–] Kowalski (78914) 4 years ago

FIRST OFF...WHY WOULD I EXPLAIN ANY DETAILS OF MY DAUGHTER'S LIFE TO YOU?...SECOND...THAT WASN'T THE POST TO BEGIN WITH..."If you could and HAD to choose, if you were having a child, would you chose for them to be gay or straight?"

I ANSWERED HONESTLY...YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO GO ON THE ATTACK AND ATTEMPT TO POKE HOLES IN WHAT I ANSWERED...WITHOUT ANY ACTUAL REAL KNOWLEDGE OF ANYTHING.

reply

[–] chilone (18316) 4 years ago

Well that would be why I asked for said "real knowledge".

reply

[–] Kowalski (78914) 4 years ago

SO I SHOULD ESSAY YOUR ASS OFF WITH PERSONAL DETAILS THAT DON'T NEED TO BE SHARED PUBLICLY JUST SO YOU CAN HANDLE MY HONEST ANSWER?

reply

[–] chilone (18316) 4 years ago

You do share a lot of personal details but not if you don't want to.

reply

[–] chilone (18316) 4 years ago

And quit with the "ATTACK" crap. You attack people here all the time.

reply

[–] Kowalski (78914) 4 years ago

LMAO...ASSHOLES RANTING ABOUT WOMEN OR GAYS OR SUCH GARBAGE...NOT A GUY SAYING GENERALIZATIONS ABOUT WOMEN ARE HARMFUL AND WRONG.

YOU SHOULD TAKE A LONG LOOK AT YOURSELF.

Oh, yes SIR Dr. Kowalski. Try taking your own advice.

I AM A DEEPLY FLAWED,MENTALLY TWEEKED WEIRDO...I MAKE NO ALLUSIONS TO ANYTHING ELSE...I DO NOT AGREE WITH A LOT OF WHAT YOU HAVE TYPED AND I SAID SO...IF I FIND MYSELF IN AGREEMENT WITH YOU ON A THREAD,I WOULD SAY SO...I HAVE QUITE ENJOYED THE INTERACTION.🍆

reply

[–] bohemianroxie (2478) 4 years ago

I would choose for them to be straight.... BUT.... if they turned out to be gay I would accept them and love them just as much.

In the end it wouldn't really matter because people are more than their sexual preference. But I do think being straight keeps things simpler and is an easier life.

reply

[–] chilone (18316) 4 years ago

I agree.

[–] kspkap (13626) 4 years ago

If I could choose, not chose, most definitely heterosexual, not homosexual which is not normal. There’s nothing “gay” about the homosexual lifestyle. It’s Biblically and morally wrong as are so many other sins we commit. We weren’t created for male to male or female to female. There’s a reason we were born with the equipment we have…to procreate while having pleasure.

reply

[–] chilone (18316) 4 years ago

If I could choose, not chose,

Oops! Thank you for that.

I have yet to see anyone say they'd choose gay which is really telling
