There’s an aspect of our national (global?) conversation about LGBT issues that troubles me. We often get wrapped up in this argument about whether the “lifestyle” is a choice or if the individuals are born that way. 

I have to ask: does it matter? What if it were a choice? Would that make the issue or the people less important somehow? Would it make discrimination, intolerance, and bullying OK?

It’s a red herring. It doesn’t matter. We should not be wasting energy on it. The truth is, we’re all on this pale blue dot together and how we got to where we sit today doesn’t really change that. What matters is what we do now, and what we do next.
