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.
