Most people I know believe sexual identity/gender issues are not "life style choices." People in my synagogue and social circle believe one is born that way and it is not a "choice." I mean really, who would "choose" such a difficult (depending on your circle of support) "lifestyle" risking being treated unjustly by intolerant member's of our society. I'm so glad my teen age boy's are completely befuddled at our society's intolerance to the GLGBQ (sorry if I'm missing a letter folks) community. I'm heterosexual, BTW, not that it matters. I have hope for our future. Keep posting hey it's Sophie, you've got friends here.
This may get moderated off, I had to speak my peace for those whose voices are silenced.

God bless.
