You have no objection, you just think being a homosexual is a choice and that people only do it for financial gains? I still haven't figured out what the financial gains are. I am very interested in what you mean by that.

However - nobody can chose his sexual orientation. The sexual orientation may seemingly shift during your life but you have no influence on that. My experience. But your predisposition to your orientation is programmed from the beginning of your life.

A seemingly shift occurs when things come to the surface that had been covered by layers of different mental restrictions for a lifetime and then more or less suddenly break through.

I try to express it in English as good as I can but I am not entirely content. Anyway you may guess what I try to say...

After reading my quotes, I cannot see how you arrive at only.

How can one amplify, distil "financial gains"? It is basic English.

Maybe you think everyone left they're integrity in their other pants, eh?

Maybe you should speak for yourself.

Just more proof of being utterly unclear on the concept.

Perhaps he wants a great career in the home decor industry, but doesn't want to become gay to get it?

Well, I just offered one guess, which should at least make clear how unclear you are being.

What gains do you have in mind, that are only (or better) obtained by being gay?

A lot of people like golf.. some people like golf. How opaque can that be?

You are changing a simple statement to make your own statement.
A lot of people become homosexuals for financial gains ... is a simple statement.

Perhaps by providing example of the financial gains in question?
