I'm starting to believe that people who claim homosexuality is a choice are in fact homosexuals who are trying to delude themselves that they've overcome it and chosen to be heterosexual.

Maybe for some of them.
For others, I think it's just a "brain disconnect" and they are incapable of thinking it through properly (or refuse to) because the idea that gay people are born with a homosexual orientation contradicts their religious dogma.
It's also must be nice for them to have a group of people they can "tsk tsk" about, or use as scapegoats, or feel superior to, or even hate, because THEY would never "choose" to homosexual.

Because...well duh...they're heterosexual.
Honestly, that's probably it. They probably feel superior for some sick twisted reason and believe that they are better than homosexuals and anyone who supports them.
Would be the same if parents dragged any kid to a therapist. One has to want to change before they can but I won't say those who want to change from homosexual to straight can't, so forget it. Saying, "even if you say you have changed I won't believe you because I know better," is intolerant from people who want tolerance.
If someone told me they were once gay but were now straight, I wouldn't believe them, but I wouldn't question them either as it's their choice to pretend they are not gay.
There's far too many ex "ex-gays" that have told their stories of being pressured because of their religious beliefs to pretend they were "no longer gay" and were now "happy little heteros".
There is also no credible evidence that it works. There IS evidence that it is harmful.
Alcoholism seems to have a genetic component, but being genetically predisposed to alcoholism doesn't make a non-drinker an alcoholic. Ultimately behavior defines the individual and behavior is always controllable on some level.
AA's first step is another fine example of this phenomenon.
The gay-haters are getting more ferocious, dishonest, and downright dumb with their "arguments". It reeks of their desperation since they are clearly losing their battle to demonize gay people. It's only going to keep going downhill; my only fear is that we will start to see MORE violence against the GLBT communtity as these people get more and more desperate
Now that is hard to understand but then that is a crime described in the Holy Bible and that makes it just plain wrong to a lot of people.
Lol, more clueless people who don't know their Bible. Sodomite is never used in the Bible the way you people think it is. A sodomite, in the KJV (which was the first translation to use it) was a temple prostitute. It comes from the Hebrew Qadesh.
By modern terminology, over 90% of heterosexuals are sodomites too.

I've thought that for a while. I guarantee many of the most vicious anti-gays are probably suppressing same-sex feelings.

I was married, didn't come out until I was 28 due to pressure from my religious community and my social community at large. It was a painful life, but I'm much better now
Anyway, I see my old self reflected repeatedly by the gay-haters, sometimes it's even word-for-word
This intrusion may have been "cute" to some of the gays and their supporters here but the fact remains it was an act of vandalism. They did leave a mess to be cleaned up.
