It's a lifestyle choice
That's what I was told today, by someone in a position of authority about me being gay. Someone who has treated me fairly in the past. Someone who has lost my respect. It wasn't nice being told that.
It was said in anger, but not in a way that was an attack on me. If it had been a personal attack it would be easier to shrug off. No, this could only be because the person believes what he said.
It's not nice when you lose respect for someone, and with what has been said it makes me uncomfortable in dealing with that person.
My regular readers, both of them, will know what sort of authority I mean, as it's the only one I don't make explicit. Email me if you want more details.
