When Did You Choose to Be Straight?

Street interviews conducted by Travis Nuckolls and Chris Baker in Colorado Springs prove that asking the right question can be more important than anything you can tell someone.

That's ironic because I don't think narrow minded people such as yourself contribute toward the human race.

i only clicked this video to read everyone's stupid comments.

i think the root of what he's saying is the point i brought up earlier; of the gayness being on front street as *an identity* when it, isn't.. or shouldn't be.. it's a sexual preference, as pedephilia.. homosexuality, heterosexuality, isn't *WHO* that person is, only a degree of *WHAT* they are.. where else in society are ppl forced to being in exceptance of ones sexual preference, beyond simple tolorance? why should others care of something that should be, so personal?

That should be were those who practice incest born with an incestuous nature/gene or did they just chose to start being with each other?

I chose to remain straight, but can become gay if I feel like it. When did it choose? No specific time period. It happens over time. Some gays say they knew their sexual preference from they were kids.

If that's so... Aren't there are people who felt a sexual kindling toward their own kind as kids, but that feeling went as they grew up?

[imsounique32]

You conveniently picked on pedophiles, but failed to address "incestuous sexual orientation/preference."

Adult to children sexual activities is criminal in our society but quite the norm in others. Is such a nation criminal? What of American men who fly out to such a country to satisfy their sexual lust to be with children? Criminals...?

Were they born with an incestuous nature?

Are gays and straights the only ones who did not choose their sexual orientation/preference?

If you think you "prayed the gay away", that would lead me to believe that you were never gay, because you can't pray away your sexual orientation any more than you can pray away the colour of your eyes. There's a difference between having sexual urges toward people of your same sex and identifying as sexually orientated toward that sex. Just because you wanted to have sex with other girls doesn't necessarily mean you were gay.

when I was in my late teens I wanted to have sex with other girls and then I STOPPED thinking about being with another girl and now I am repulsed by the thought of being with another girl. So I know you can pray the gay away. :)

Stop comparing gay people to criminals. There is no such thing as sexual preference, there is only sexual orientation. You either have blue eyes or brown eyes - it is how you are born. The point of the video is to show that suggesting that being gay is a choice is ridiculous - so the interviewer asks "when did you decide to be straight" - he did that to point out that obviously it is not a choice.

[Paul Goldstein]

Comparing gay people with pedophiles is beyond ignorant. If two adults want to be together, that is their choice - this is America where we believe in FREEDOM & LIBERTY for all. A pedophile is an adult taking advantage of a powerless child. There is no comparison.

[Alan G]

I never questioned my heterosexuality, which leads me to believe that gays have never questioned their homosexuality, i.e. it wasn't chosen.

Everyday on this planet some babies are born with both female and male genitalia, which way should these babies swing when they come of age? Hermaphroditic infants are physical proof that nature/god sometimes crosses wires and doesn't make sense as we know it.

If you believe sexuality is a choice, it would infer that you could have chosen to be gay.
