The Steven Crowder Defense is a classic
the most offensive lines (and this is where trans people might want to stop reading) in the episode come from Garrison herself, when she becomes incensed that she can’t get her period or get pregnant. “This would mean I’m not really a woman. I’m just a guy with a mutilated penis,” Garrison says. “You made me into a freak.”
Really comedy gold
"Just because you'd offended doesn't mean you're right."

Not to get too serious, given the topic and the community I'm in, but...
There's a saying along the lines of "You can't reason someone out of a position they did not reason themselves into." And the overwhelming majority of the time, it's completely true.
Ridiculous as it sounds, there are large numbers of people out there who believe that being gay is a choice. These people legitimately feel like any recognition and representation of homosexuality risks turning people gay.
You can spend all the time you want asking them when they chose to be straight and logically explaining things to them, it almost certainly will not matter.
There are large numbers of incredibility stupid/ignorant/propagandized people out there who believe that being gay is a choice - FTFY.

That is true, however, I think the resolution influences the result. I can be wrong, but there isn't really an experiment where someone tries to convince kids to be gay and see the outcome. It's just become forbidden to think this amongst the progressives for no reason.
No, but they've tried the reverse. They've tried and tried convincing gay people to be straight and it doesn't work. That's not how it works.
If you think you have a choice to be one way or the other, then you do. Because you're bi.

Such an experiment would be highly unethical and of doubtful interest. After all, you already know sexuality develops without influence, is it useful to know if it develops differently under pressure? To do so it requires to possibly ruin people's live, that's why it's not done.
Also, we already have the opposite experience: gays being convinced to be straight. As far as I know, it doesn't really work and only creates suppressed emotions that ruins their sexuality.

That's no different from growing up in a straight world. So that's why it doesn't have an effect.

The response is always "having a choice means you are bisexual."
Yeah, clearly. My similar answer has always been "Huh. It's not a choice for me... Are you actively choosing not to be gay right now?"
It's sad, but if you are constantly resisting the urge to be gay... you might be kinda gay. You might be happier if you stop fighting it.

P.S. Thanks for linking to Oglaf, it's been way too long and I had forgotten about it.

One day I was headed to my car to go somewhere. A zealot intercepted me and wanted to proselytize to me. I told him thank you but no thank you. He was all like "But have you heard about Jesus Christ?" I said that I was raised a Christian and knew all about it, but I reject it. He still was trying to argue with me so I finally just said "Have a nice day" and walked away as he was still trying to reconvert me. Some of them simply can't believe you know what they are about but don't buy into it.
