Thanks everyone for the enlightenment. I agree that "choices" was probably the wrong word, as I understand sexual preference to be biological as opposed to a choice. When I mentioned "choices", I was thinking overall life choices that we all make, some good and some bad. But I wasn't clear about that.

I'm not sure I see the issue with the word "lifestyle", but I guess that also implies a choice. I'm sure someone will clue me in

I see your point about just coming onto campus and speaking with students. In that case, I see what you're trying to accomplish and you're right, campuses are usually open ot the public.

Welcome to the site, pbtn. You and your wife are to be commended for your stance against intolerance.

I am a transgender person. I only discovered that I was this way a few years ago. After I came out, I realized that it was inside of me all my life. I never chose to be transgender, but I did choose to embrace who I was. I have been liberated and completed. I have gay friends and all have told me that they knew that they were gay or lesbian since childhood.

I have a saying that just because someone says something doesn't exixt does not mean that it doesn't. A double negative but it's the truth. How many families were shocked when a member of the family revealed that they were gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender? My wife was shocked when I revealed my transgenderism, but she has grown to accept it.
I'm so happy now and wouldn't change a thing.
