Herman Cain wants to see proof that being gay is not a choice. Dan Savage wants Cain to prove homosexuality is a choice, and has a suggestion on how Cain can do that — “Suck my dick, Herman.”
Dan Savage
Cain, who is running for the GOP presidential nomination, has repeatedly said he believes being gay is a choice, and challenges interviewers to “show me the science” that says it’s not.
Appearing on CNN’s Piers Morgan on Thursday, Cain said that he respects that gays and lesbians have the “right to make that choice. I don’t have to agree with it. That’s all I’m saying.” Earlier this month, Cain told “The View” co-host Joy Behar, “You show me the science that says that it’s not [a choice], and I could be persuaded.”
Now, Savage — a nationally syndicated relationship and sex advice columnist, and co-founder of “It Gets Better,” a suicide prevention project aimed at LGBT youth — wants Cain to prove that homosexuality is, in fact a choice:
From Savage’s blog:
Dear Herman,
If being gay is a choice, show us the proof. Choose it. Choose to be gay yourself. Show America how that’s done, Herman, show us how a man can choose to be gay. Suck my dick, Herman. Name the time and the place and I’ll bring my dick and a camera crew and you can suck me off and win the argument.
Very sincerely yours,
Dan Savage
As a footnote, Savage — who refers to Cain as a “Choicer” — adds, “And then I’ll say this: when someone argues that being gay is a choice, he’s not just insulting gay people. (And ignoring the science of sexual orientation.) He’s insulting straight people.”
“If homosexuality is a choice, then so is heterosexuality,” writes Savage.

Making me laugh out loud!
I have a better idea for Herman Cain, It involves a very steep cliff and him diving off of it head first. But, that’s just my opinion…lol
Republics are ignorant! Just sayin LOL!!!
Ooops meant Republicans LMAO!
lol
Eeew… really? I don’t think so. How about, if being gay is a choice, then the converse must also be true… being hetero is a choice. So how come it almost killed me trying to be straight for most of my life, and I only felt at harmony/peace and right with God when I was finally honest and came out??
I guess being a bigoted jerk was Cain’s choise and he’s sticking to it.
So dead on! If you flip around all these questions and comments that gay people get, the stupidity is even more obvious. “When did you realize you were straight? How can you be sure you’re straight if you’ve never slept with someone of the same sex? Are you trying to convert children to heterosexuality?” etc. Turn it right around on these idiots!
so damn funny
I bet Cain is a Christian tooooooo….they do so well at judging
What an idiot?!
I don’t know if including “suck my dick” helps anything, though.
Hahaha Oh Savage <3
If being gay were really a choice, it would be a choice I’d be making, because I’ve just had too many problems with men :P
Only perhaps by being bisexual can you have a choice in the matter of sexuality. Or, you can supress your desire in favor of a particular religious doctrine. Does this mean Herman Cain is bisexual and he hides his affection for men? Alas, for me there was no choice.
LOL! i would really love to hear their argument! it’s gonna be a convoluted one that spirals down to religious reference & how it’s the basis of moral compass, blah, blah, blah. If it was a choice, we wouldn’t have a debate from the beginning
Neither with me,by the way,anyone who says they have gone straight,is either they never were lgbts firstplace or they are lying to themselves.One is born this way,some just take longer to realize who they were but gender queer and trans folks know from the earliest years,around 3 or 4.
Good plan, except I wouldn’t let that man’s mouth near my genitals if I were him xD
And even some gays and lesbians too.
haha that’s awesome!
I wish it was that easy and it was just a choice.. it is just to hard of a life ESP. When you are a KID.. no one would make that choice as a KID.. it is to darn HARD.. I Prayed and Prayed and Prayed as a KID to just be Normal.. It wasn’t untill I was in my 20′s that I fianlly knew it was that I was Born this way.. BIG BYRD HUGZ & SMILEZ TO ALL YOU GUYS.. :>) Hope you all have a fun safe and warm weekend..:>)
From what I understand, it is impossible to control the way you feel, I am a gay adolescent myself and I wonder things like why would I “choose” to be made fun of or psychically/emotionally hurt just because I’m gay. It doesn’t make much sense to me why people still care, it’s not your life or your place to judge ones orientation. Being gay or straight is not a choice. We as humans, react on impulse, we react on our emotions and how we feel. I think people need to grow up. Everyone one is entitled to their freedom of who they love, and what they practice. As you being a straight male -I presume- Herman Cain, suck his dick, prove that being gay is a choice or not. By doing that, you also prove that being straight is either a choice or not. Be my guest.
SALTY
love you Dan. and while ur at it maybe you can tell that cunt Bachman that she can “pray away the gay” all she wants it still isn’t going anywhere!! maybe she’s just a closet lesbo- someone save us from her these people!!!!
Bravo Dan Bravo, I get tired of hearing “it’s a choice” so it’s a choice to be hated feared disrespected etc., Cain I wonder at what point do you believe I choose to live a life where I’m mistreated and threatened on a regular basis, when did I choose to have people like you disregard the fact that ive been this way since birth, I’m not a scientist I can’t give you the proof you want. But I have been myself for 24 and change years now and I have from the time I was capable of rational thought known that boys were appealing and girls were not. Plain and simple ignore it all you want, gays have been here since the beginning of time and much to your dismay we aren’t leaving
it doesnt matter if its a choice or not. Interracial marriage was once illegal & thats much more of a choice than being gay. Today most people dont think much of interracial marriage(@ least it’s legal). I just hope in my lifetime people will think similarly of gay marriage.
You can’t reason with an idiot.
If Cain needs a proxy, I’ll volunteer ;)
the thing is this is a real sacrifice on Dan’s part to have to be blown by that nasty bigot.
Good luck people
I wanna have Dan Savage’s babies.
I don’t think you fully understand what Bisexual really means,it’s Not really a choice,you just fall in love (or lust )with that person,man or woman,it’s Not the sex of that particular person that attracts you,it’s the individual.
There was no choice in being gay for me, but thank God for that–I wouldn’t have it any other way. I get the criticism toward Cain, but even he’s not half as bad as Santorum or Bachmann, who have come right out and said homosexuality is a sin. Cain may be ignorant, and a lot of heterosexuals are ignorant of the LGBT situation (that’s not to say that ALL are), but I’d call the other two candidates the real bigots.
That’s a novel idea.
Can anyone prove that being straight is a choice?!
Kudos Dan
I chose to be “straight” for 50 some years….only realizing that i can’t force it anymore, now I am who God made me….happier and at peace like i have never thought would be possible
i bet Hrman wpuld think otherwise if he just sucked that dick
I’ve never heard of D. Savage, but I like him already.
Christina Montana
this is right on.
I’m so ashamed to say he lives in Atl. One of the biggest gayest city in America
Hell yeah!
Has anyone else heard that it’s not a choice to be str8 because being str8 is normal and natural? Only a person who isn’t normal and natural would choose to be something other than str8.
If a person were str8 (and normal and natural) how could it be possible for them to choose not to be?
Dear Mr Savage. I support Mr Herman Cain. I also support his theory and accept your challenge. My place or yours?
OMG i was just thinking this same thing this weekend. I am glad someone finally pushed Cain to prove it was a choice. If it’s a choice, then every human is born with that choice so Cain this must mean you are attracted to men too, but you choose to marry a woman.
