Cynthia Nixon faces LGBT backlash after saying she is gay by choice

The reality is that the origin of same sex desire is still unknown. It is stronger in some ("transgender", "gays" and "lesbians") and weaker or non-existant in others ("bisexuals" and "straights"). We all choose what to do with our desires. We are all, with the exception of the intersexed, male or female. There is no state of being "gay," "lesbian" or "straight." those labels are descriptive of our desires, and only the "straight" desires are properly ordered. To act on disordered desires and label oneself accordingly does not change one's state as male or female.

I think the existence of "bisexuals" makes this truth evident, which is why "gays" and "lesbians" have a problem with them. Their existence challenges their "I'm born that way and have no choice" lie.  You can label people alcoholics, kleptomaniacs or "natural born killers," but that doesn't make them a different class of human being. "Gay" and "lesbian" are the same sort of labeling.  Anyone can choose to act contrary to "natural inclinations," and they should if such inclinations are intrinsically disordered. If you don't, you are acting like a dog who has a "natural inclination" to eat his own feces.  If one believes that sexual desire constitutes a person's "fundamental nature," then desire for sex with a pre-pubescent or animal is a "fundamental nature," as well.

Sex and the City actress and lesbian activist Cynthia Nixon is facing backlash after comments she made implying that being gay is a choice were published. To be fair, Nixon didn't say that being gay is the same for everyone. She was speaking about her own personal experience. For her, it's a choice. Your experience may vary.
Cynthia Nixon told the New York Times: "I gave a speech recently, an empowerment speech to a gay audience, and it included the line ‘I’ve been straight and I’ve been gay, and gay is better.’ And they tried to get me to change it, because they said it implies that homosexuality can be a choice. And for me, it is a choice. I understand that for many people it’s not, but for me it’s a choice, and you don’t get to define my gayness for me. A certain section of our community is very concerned that it not be seen as a choice, because if it’s a choice, then we could opt out. I say it doesn’t matter if we flew here or we swam here, it matters that we are here and we are one group and let us stop trying to make a litmus test for who is considered gay and who is not."
