A woman appeared to change her mind on
whether being gay is a choice after she was asked one question.
In a 3-minute video uploaded in 2008 to
YouTube but making the rounds of late, Travis Nuckolls and Chris
Baker ask everyday folks on the streets of Colorado Springs, Colorado
their thoughts on whether gays and lesbians decide their sexuality.
Many of those interviewed say they do
believe that gays can choose but appear to have second thoughts when
asked about their own sexuality.
“I think the people … it depends on
what they grow up finding out,” one man says. “I think it's a
choice later in life, but it depends on upbringing.”
“When did you chose to be straight?”
“That's a good call, man. I didn't
choose to be,” the man answers with a chuckle. “So, born.”
“I would have to say they choose to
be gay,” a woman unequivocally states.
“When did you chose to be straight?”
“I never thought about it,” the
woman says with a laugh. “I really didn't … I am who I am.”
“Do you think it's the same for gay
people?”
“Maybe. Maybe that's true.” (The
