Hey wouldn't it be wHeird if there was a video on YouTube that even mentioned the word gay and didn't send the entire Internet into a debate?

[Jack Rose]

I DIDN'T KNOW SHE WAS GAY. That's neat!

[Dinkydau00]

Awesome

[Kees De Jong]

It is not a choice! 

[MrZeqs9]

Let me just make a correction: it's not a choice, it's a condition. I probably make things easier for me if I could turn heterossexual if it was an option..

I am really happy you asked me that. See the reason you are here is because in case you didn't know a men and a women aka your mom and dad both in love I hope for you made you (I will not describe the process I think you know it). A men and a women that's just the way humanity was, is and always will be now if you want to change it up a bit heyy as long as it only effects you it's fine by me but please stop with with ooh I'm born this way nonsense lool. It's your choice and I respect it.

I came out to my parents last night.

This applies to being Asian too.

No person, gay or straight, makes a conscious choice to start liking men or women. Puberty hits and the hormones get flowing and erections happen lol What causes a gay guy to have an erection at another guy isn't anything he chose. It just happen in the same way that straight people just happen to like women.

[Corbin Huber]

Oh its a choice? You must be straight. When did you choose to be straight?

[steffylvmk89]

This is where I can't agree with you, you are born black, caucasian etc but unfortunatly born gay no this doesn't exist. Lady Gaga lied lol but if your child choose as he/she grows up to live his/her life as a gay/lesbian person it's not a reason to reject them. Born gay no but support your child's decision or choice yes.
