I would say it on hope that perhaps it would bring some credibility to my argument. However, I am not going to claim to be an expert. I will admit I have not dealt with that many homosexuals in my profession, but that has been my experience in three years of practice. I also practice in a very conservative area which may confuse my patients as to their true identity and would believe other psychologists when their studies say otherwise than my experiences. As to trying to make myself important I would have to disagree because as far as I'm concerned psychology does not require a whole lot of education and are backup to Psychiatrists who do the hardest work, thereby making myself unimportant. Believe what you will.
You claim being Gay is a choice. I would appreciate your explanation on this.
I doubt you actually know what being GAY means...being gay does not mean you have sex with someone of the same gender...it means you want to. There are gay and bisexual VIRGINS. You don't choose to be a virgin, you don't choose who you like.
I predict your answer will be one of personal bias, supported by very little evidense. But i still challenge you to try and change my mind.
And you better try hard buddy, cuz I'm bisexual and I've been that way for as long as I can remember....try and convince me that my sexual desires were MY choice.
