I’ve never met anyone that claims to have nscly cid to be gay, but that don’t mean ’s not what did Corbyn really mean when he said, at an LGBT History Month lnch event, that he stood by those who choose to be LGBT any form? And que ankly, beg openly gay n still be an absolute chore.
I unrstand the mere suggtn that 's a choice n be troublg, pecially as this reasong is ed to jtify uhil practic such as gay nversn therapy.
