You can't change an immutable trait (you are what you are).  Dobson
thinks homo***uality is not immutable, but rather chosen.  And since
it is chosen, you can choose not to be gay.  That's unreal.


<JS>
Dr. Dobson is not unique in that belief.

He merely vocalizes that which many people believe.

I believe that what Dr, Dobson has said isn't that you choose to not be
gay, 
he says you choose to be gay. The natural state of being is to not be gay,

therefore this would come without a choice. The choice, Dr, Dobson would 
say, is to violate the natural state of being, and choose to be gay.
