State Representative Tom McMillin - Being Gay is a choice. Really, Tom?

State Rep. Tom McMillin at a town hall meeting said he thinks being gay is a choice like choosing to smoke cigarettes. What do you think?

At a town hall meeting held at the Rochester Hills City Hall, State Representative Tom McMillin was asked whether he thought being gay is a choice.

Just like many conservative idealogues, Tom McMillin seems to have a problem with science. There is no scientific evidence to back up his claim, but he insists that because Ann Heche, a former partner of Ellen DeGeneres claims she is now straight, tens of thousands of people have changed their sexual orientation.

I hope you will watch the video and post a comment I can send along to Rep. McMillin.
