Obama now says being 'gay' is a 'lifestyle choice'

President Obama has stated that homosexuals make a "lifestyle choice" with their sexuality and even when people disapprove of that, they should be willing to treat them fairly.

His answer, which seemed to undermine the foundation for claims across America that homosexuals are a class of people with defined characteristics and deserve minority protections, came recently during a recorded interview with GloZell Green, a green-lipstick-wearing, milk and cereal bath-taking YouTube personality who was picked by the White House to visit with the president after his recent 2015 State of the Union address.

She begins her videos asking, "Hello this is Glozell! Is you OK? Is you? Good, 'cause I wanted to know!'"

The comments from Obama come starting about the 8 minute mark of the video, when GloZell asks him, "Do you think same-sex marriage will be legalized in all of the United States during the time that you're in office, and what can you do to push that along?"

Obama said, "Well, we've done a lot to push it along. I announced my belief that same-sex marriage should be legal, that people should be treated the same. We argued against, as an administration, before the Supreme Court we argued against the Defense of Marriage that was treating married couples, same sex couples, differently, in terms of federal benefits."

He continued, "The Supreme Court now is going to be taking on a case. My hope is that they go ahead and recognize what I think a majority of the people in America now recognize, which is two people who love each other and are treating each other with respect, and aren't bothering anybody else, why would the law treat them differently?"

Then his comments took a turn.

"I'm hopeful the Supreme Court comes to the right decision but I will tell you peoples' hearts have opened up on this issue. I think people know that treating folks unfairly – even if you disagree with their lifestyle choice, the fact of the matter is they're not bothering you. Let them live their lives and under the law, they should be treated equally and as far as me personally, just to see all the loving gay and lesbian couples that I know who are great parents and partners, the idea that we would not treat them like the brothers and sisters that they are that doesn't make any sense."

However, the homosexual community has erupted before when their lifestyle is called a "choice."

They claim the benefits of minority status and privileged protection because they argue that their homosexuality is not, in fact, a choice.

National Review Online reported only last year that even asking the question can stir up a hornet's next.

For example, when homosexual columnist Brandon Ambrosino suggested that there are "other factors" that go to "informing our sexualities" in addition to genetics, the "gay" community condemned him.

Headlines that followed included "Vox hires Falwell-loving gay-bashing 'gay'" and "Vox's Unbelievably Terrible New Hire."

Wrote one critic of the idea, "Brandon Ambrosino is the Allen West of homosexuality. He's your go-to guy, if your goal has nothing to do with finding a legitimate minority voice on the issue of the day."

Media Matters opinion? Ambrosino was "whitewashing anti-gay bigotry."

However, the Family Research Council issued a report on myths regarding homosexuality.

The author, the FRC's Peter Sprigg, explained racial discrimination is irrational and invidious "because of what I call the five 'I's' – the fact that, as a personal characteristic, race is inborn, involuntary, immutable, innocuous and in the Constitution.

"Homosexual activists would have us believe that the same is true of their homosexuality. They want us to believe their their homosexual 'orientation' is something they are born with, cannot choose whether to accept or reject, and cannot change; and that it does no harm (to themselves or to society), while being protected by the principles of the Constitution."

He continued, "However, these are empirical questions, subject to being verified or refuted based on the evidence. And the evidence produced by research has simply not been kind to this theoretical underpinning of the homosexual movement. It has become more and more clear that none of the 'five-I' criteria apply to the choice to engage in homosexual conduct."

He collected 10 "myths" about homosexuals, including they are born "gay," sexual orientation cannot change, it's harmful to try to change one's sexual orientation, and that "homosexuals are seriously disadvantaged by discrimination."

Spriggs wrote that studies show homosexuals general attain a higher education level than the average American and are paid more money mostly.

"Homosexual activists like to attribute the small disadvantage in income for some subpopulations of homosexuals to societal 'discrimination,' and use that as an argument for employment 'non-discrimination' laws. However, other explanations, such as different career choices, are also possible," he wrote.

That Obama would describe the lifestyle as a "choice," a comment largely unreported, would have been unexpected since he has advocated for homosexuality, lesbianism and transgenderism at virtually every step of his presidency, installing open homosexuality in the U.S. military, simply refusing to enforce an established federal law protecting man-and-woman marriage and more.

In fact, one publication posted his picture on the cover, labeling him the "1st gay president."

GloZell Lynette Simon, who featured videos such as "My push-up bra will help me get my man," reportedly set up her YouTube channel in 2008 for video interviews and song parodies. She was one of three YouTube stars selected to interview Obama.

In her announcement, GloZell chortled, "I am so excited because I have been asked to interview POTUS – the president of the United States of Americ-errr. I know you're like, what did she just say? I know, the president of the United States!"

In a previous episode of her show, GloZell bathed in a tub filled with milk and Froot Loops. She eats the cereal while thrashing about in the tub.
