There are plenty of people out there who believe gay people choose to be gay. Nevermind that straight people didn't choose to be straight and can't just will themselves into being attracted to people of the same sex.

It's such a a simple concept and yet I have to admit there was a point in my life where this had not occured to me until a friend of mine, who was gay, politely pointed it out. It made me seriously reconsider much of what I was taught about human sexuality.

I think most humans are at least somewhat bisexual. I think for some homophobes (and transphobes), it’s “I have these feelings too, I’m just superior because I’m suppressing it” - at least internally.

“Spiritual warfare” is “I thought about what sucking that guy’s dick would be like for a few seconds, and was able to ‘win’ by not submitting.”
