Sex, Choice, Fascism and the Nation

14:50, May 31, 2012

By Vahan Bournazian [1] 

Who chose that you would be male or female?  When did you choose to be heterosexual?  Our nature is not our choice. 

In 1999 I could have married.  I knew an intelligent, kind and wonderful friend who I think would have said yes.  But I didn't ask, because it would have been a lie.  How could I lie to my friend?  To live an honest life we must be brave enough to recognize our own true nature.  And the bravest of all live openly.

To be gay is not a choice.  Who would choose to be hated?  And what society, culture, church or institution would choose that we lie and deceive each other by means of false relations?  Neither sex nor sexual orientation is a choice.
