these people who keep claiming this is all a choice seem to not understand a simple concept why would someone choose that path?

Why would anyone choose a path where the law is codified against you in more than half the nation and a majority of people claim your lifestyle disgusts them and is an abhorrent evil?

What's clear is that religion is certainly a choice and you can choose to believe in something that's as real as Santa Claus just so you can hate some of your fellow Americans...that's certainly a choice available to someone in the US and apparently a great many people like to choose make believe so they can hate someone and feel they are doing the bidding of a higher power while exercising that hate...

She would probably be upset if you compared her to the people over at the Westboro Baptist Church but the reality is her thoughts are the same, she just hasn't migrated to signs at a funeral yet.
