It's a legitimate question whether posed by gays or straights, so why can't you answer it?
Yet I've
never heard that question asked by anyone other than people who have abnormal sexual desires (i.e. a homosexual).
People who have normal sexual desires and have never known anything else don't think or talk like this Art:
Bill: "Hi Jim, long no time no see. How are you, your wife and kids doing?"
Jim: "Everyone's doing great Bill, and how are your wife and kids doing?"
Bill: "Everyone's busy with school, church and work. By the way Jim, when did you first know that you didn't have homosexual desires?"
Jim: "What a coincidence Bill, I was going to ask you the very same thing!"
No Art, people with normal sexual desires just don't think or talk like that.

Of course the question itself is foolish, as it's like asking someone who has been healthy all of his life "When in your life did you decide not to be unhealthy?"
It's nothing of the sort and inventing a smokescreen in order to deflect an answer is more telling than anything.
See my answer below.

The question that needs to be asked here Art isn't when in my life did I decide to have normal sexual desires, but
"When in your life did you decide to have abnormal sexual desires, and what caused those abnormal desires?"
Get back to me when you have an honest answer Art (if you need to consult with Goddess Duane, I'm sure you can contact him via the www).
The question that needs answering is the one you're somehow desperate to avoid. Projecting or lying about me isn't going to help your case, it just makes you look even more moronic and puts another '?' over your sexuality. I'm straight (yes Connie, I've admitted being heterosexual again so file that in your table of contents once more) and had no say in it. I can't 'choose' to be gay and if I were then admitting it to cranks like you would be no big deal as there'd be squat you could do about it.
Again: Because I was fortunate enough to be raised in a loving home with a wonderful mom and dad, my environment made that choice for me.
As I've shown throughout this 3 part thread time and time again, not everyone has been that fortunate. Some children who have been sexually abused or that have an overbearing mother or absent father grow up sexually confused and turn to homosexuality:
In a 1979 article Irving and Toby Bieber reported that in their evaluations of over 1,000 male homosexuals, they did not find one "whose father openly loved and respected him."

Not one Art, not even one.
That being said: While many children had their abnormal sexual desires chosen for them, there is always a way out. As I've shown, thousands and thousands of people have done so through Christ (and sometimes with the help of professional therapy) and proudly call themselves "Ex-homosexuals".
