What you want to be is your choice.

No, no it isn't. You don't get to choose your sexual orientation and neither does your partner.

Seriously, like... yes, he's gay because he's a man that is exclusively attracted to other men, and he's in a gay relationship because he's in a relationship with another man. But he's not gay because "what [he wants] to be is [his] choice;" that kind of language just says, "Just because you are married to a man while being a man doesn't mean you can't call yourself straight if that's what you think you are."

Words mean things, my God!

Exactly what I came here to quote and it's still shocking to see parroted by idiots on a purported forum for gay men and receiving upvotes. That is death by gender identity for the gay rights movement. As usual, they have it all ass-backwards.
