Men Ironically Share the Exact Moment They "Decided" to Be Gay, and It Is Pretty Amazing

Believe it or not, a lot of people out there still believe that homosexuality is a choice. Those people are completely oblivious to the reality of homosexuality, and their ignorance shows.

A gay Twitter user sarcastically asked people when they “decided” to be gay and shared his “reason” for doing so, which is obviously a joke.

So. Gays. When Y'all choose to be gay?

For me it was a beautiful spring day and I just thought, "You know what, I really want to disappoint my parents, offend my church, limit my options, lose my rights, live in fear of homophobic abuse, be afraid to hold my partner's hand…

At the time people were yelling 'poof' at me and throwing rocks at me as I walked home from school, I was like – wow – I love being at risk. I should do this more.

It was during the 80s at the height of AIDS panic and stigma. I thought, y'know, I'll have some of that…

All the kids were calling me gay at school, so I just assumed they must be right and even though I didn't really understand what it meant, I just went with it. Still not sure I fully understand it now.

I decided while I was in a “happy” hetero relationship, I thought I know what I’ll do, I’ll ruin everything and disappoint everyone out of spite. Even though they had done nothing for me to feel that way. I thought, I’ll stop myself having kids and I’ll just be a cool uncle

Want more? Oh, there’s more!

For me it was right after my mom hurled homophobic slurs at the tv following Ellen’s talk show debut.

“They’ll give a show to any f****t these days!”

And I thought, yep I’m gonna be gay now. I want my family to hate me as much as they hate Ellen!

I was going to be straight but then I realised I don’t look good in a fleece.

For me it happened while watching The Golden Girls. I thought, “There’s no way I can stay straight and really get the most out of this show.” Never looked back.

And I think this might be my favorite.

When I was born and the doctor handed me the clipboard I checked off the rainbow box because it was pretty….I had no idea what it meant at the time🤦🏻‍♂️🥺
