Quote by Marlo Thomas

I don't think homosexuality is a choice. Society forces you to think it's a choice, but in fact, it's in one's nature. The choice is whether one expresses one's nature truthfully or spends the rest of one's life lying about it.

I don't think homosexuality is a choice. Society forces you

Summary

This quote questions the prevailing belief that homosexuality is a choice. It suggests that societal norms contribute to the perception that individuals have a choice in their sexual orientation. However, the quote maintains that one's sexual orientation is an inherent aspect of their nature, implying that it is not a conscious decision. The real choice lies in whether one embraces and expresses their true self or succumbs to societal pressure by concealing it.

Those who do not last are always more beloved since no one has to see them in their long, dull, unrelenting, no-quarter-given-and-no-quarter-received, fights that they make to do something as they believe it should be done before they die. Those who die or quit early and easy and with every good reason are preferred because they are understandable and human. Failure and well-disguised cowardice are more human and more beloved.

I'm probably not 100 pounds anymore, but around there. I definitely got obsessed with my weight. When I met my husband and realized that he could put on 50 pounds and I'd still love him, I realized that's how he sees me or at least how he should!
