They’ve used nuclear weapon against women and children when Japan was retreating on all fronts. Do I listen to any lecturing from such evil? No I’m not.

The three religions Islam ,Christianity, Judaism are saying in their books that homosexuality is forbidden. So basically what I want to say it is not a human right until recently... when some countries became more free and unreligious. Do not disrespect the country and their believe in their religion. Everybody is free to do what they want of course. If you do not like the rules do not go, if you think it is unfair it is your opinion. No need for disrespecting anybody. Being disrespectful is a choice and being respectful as well but, it shows morality. God bless you all.

Yes, he made the mistake of revealing what he personally believes in. The thing about "choosing who you want to be" is probably referring to having the choice to transition if that's what you want, even though Gender Dysphoria (GD) isn't a choice (I won't debate about wether GD is a Psychiatric Condition that should be normalized or not), it's something that you're born with (or in this case might develop during your life). The Reporter made the error of saying that people should be able to choose who they want to be, probably hoping that the guy would (fall into the trap and) understand it in a broader sense: people absolutely should be able to choose who they want to become in life, what kind of person (values), which religion, what kind of job they want, etc.. But... the guy interviewed was obviously going to take it the way he did since the topic was already on LG-BT and this creates such a strong emotional response from people living there - they flat out deny the existence of same sex orientation, he even said that L-G-B-T doesn't exist, is a western invention/fabrication, OR, as I've also personally heard from people coming from this region, they believe that anything else than heterosexuality is a brain defect or disease! I mean... I had a high school teacher who kept saying that regularly... The guy was fired, seeing as we're in Canada. The Reporter started feeling intimidated and scared (maybe a bit too easily since there wasn't a crowd at first) and HE DID LET IT SHOW & LOST HIS COMPOSURE. Now, THE ABSOLUTE WORSE MISTAKE HE COULD HAVE DONE AT THIS POINT IS PRECISELY ANSWERING "Yes, of course!", AS HE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN BEATEN FOR SURE BY THE ANGRY MOB!
