Consider your own argument: "Oh give me a F*ing break. You CHOOSE to be a conservative. You aren't born a conservative and face true harassment, discrimination

Consider your own argument:
"Oh give me a F*ing break. You CHOOSE to be a conservative. You aren't born a conservative and face true harassment, discrimination, and death threats because of it. Oh, right thats what YOU would do to someone who is gay probably now if you could get away with it."
It's been shown that DNA is a pretty good predictor of being conservative or not. AFAIK, this hasn't yet been shown for being gay! Conservatives don't have a choice.
Now that you know that conservatives are in fact born that way, at least more so than gays, can you spare some compassion for conservatives? You can make them feel really weird with affirmative action quotas for conservatives.

There have been PLENTY of studies over the last few years indicating homosexuality is expressed either at a DNA level or as the brain is developing in utero. http://www.livescience.com/50058-being-gay-not-a-choice.html http://www.livescience.com/50058-being-gay-not-a-choice.html >It's been shown that DNA is a pretty good predictor of being conservative or not. First, show me where this has been studied. Peer reviewed please. Second, if your conservatism violates human rights, yeah thats a problem. Conservatism, in the US has been the excuse for slavery (the bible says we are better than them!), Jim Crow and segregation, interracial marriage, and now LGBT rights. Conservatives have been on the WRONG side of history on ALL of these issues.
