I have one of my absolute best friends for the last 30 years happens to be gay, and I love her dearly. And she is not my "gay friend," she is one of my best friends, who happens to have made a choice that isn't a choice that I have made. But I am not going to judge people."
Sarah Palin, people.
If I could have chosen anything, I would have chosen to be straight, marry some alte kokhter guy named Zvi or Nachman or Elkhanan, and pop out one baby a year somewhere in Queens. For choice, how about a nice bookstore and Judaica run by my husband's father, and a shtibl where maybe there was air-conditioning.
For about a decade I wanted nothing more than to make that choice, if I could. Because I am human, and humans will usually choose what is easy over what is good, and right, and true. Staying a part of that world would have been so very easy.
I am glad my heart found its way onto the right road. But don't come talking to me about choice.
