Lifestyle choice was a word thrown around at the beginning of the "gay" movement to criticise those that "chose" to be gay, and shows ignorance of the underlying reasons behind sexuality, attraction and gender.

Lifestyle choice was a term not used first by gay rights critics but rather by gay rights activist and people like my brother, a land mark case winning attorney of the early days who was a co-author of "The Rights of Gay People:The Basic ACLU Guide To A Gay Persons Rights" and also one of the co-founders of Lambda Legal one of the first ever High Powered Legal organizations to win big cases dealing with gay rights in federal and state courts.He won the first ever land mark case against the military. The term Lifestyle choices was then picked up by press trying to be politically correct and only later did critics try to use the term in a derogatory way when discussing gays. I find many on here who speak like they are separate from or don't want to be connected to the gay community but the truth for you here is that my brother (RIP) and his organization Lambda Legal are the ones who won the cases that repealed the old sodomy laws that could of been used to put most of us here in jail.
