I've been trying my best to keep this civil.
But there you go calling me, not smart, because I don't see it the way you do.  BTW....if your point is true about "who you are" you wouldn't have people who gave up the gay lifestyle.  There are many documented proof of people who gave up the gay lifestyle freely....just like people I know who gave up drugs, affairs, stealing...etc.  Unlike the true civil rights issues of African Americans, Native Americans, Hawaiians, Japanese internments, Jews....the list goes on.
