I always said that was the weakest argument the LGBT made in favor of expanding gay rights, and I stand by that.

But given that many anti-LGBT laws are/were based around the idea that one's sexual orientation is a choice, "born this way" negates those. So it's less the "expansion of gay rights" and more the "nullification of anti-gay statutes"

A better counter would be that even if it is a choice, it has no negative affect whatsoever on anyone, and thus they should be able to "choose" whatever they want. No one should be able to dictate how anyone else lives their lives if they aren't harming or imposing.

With marriage specifically, is not being able to get married going to make me not "want" to be gay anymore? I just don't understand the end game.

As far as choice vs. nature. If I was in the Middle East why the fuck would i choose to be gay and get myself brutalized and thrown off a building? None of it makes any sense
