I'm sure you know this and you're just a troll. But just as a reference to other readers, I'd like to remind everybody that biology supports LGBT kids, not bigots.

The only good thing to come out of comments like that is my block button gets used quickly.
Could also just change whenever you wanted, if that were the case. But no, I deliberately endured nearly a decade of pain because I 'chose' to be bi, in their words, lol.
Not to discount your opposition to their point, which should be opposed, but you do know that sexuality is pretty fluid for a vast number of people along the Kinsey scale, right? For a lot of people, they ARE heterosexual because they are indoctrinated that way from an early age. Not everyone capable of being sexually fluid identifies that way.
You mean like how religion indoctrinates people and hides actual pedophiles while pointing the finger elsewhere?
And the long history of abuse of children by nuns and priests in children's homes and religious schools/ facilities?
Being LGBT isn't something you just wake up and choose to 'identify' as. You don't wake up and decide, hey I'm gonna be gay! It's just part of who you are.
Religion is a choice and something that can and does indoctrinate people. Maybe look in the right direction and you'll see who the actual bad guys are.
Biologically speaking, gay people are born that way.
No one is born religious.
So tell me again about indoctrination.
