Does the question of choice really matter, though? If someone chooses to engage in a non-criminal behavior, what does it matter?
Because I think the question of choice DOES, in fact, matter. I don't think people choose to be gay (though I do see huge numbers of girls trying on the bi thing for size right now). I think people are born gay. Or, in some cases, through no fault of their own, go through something so traumatic that it switches their wiring.
and given that, it seems to me that everyone is entitled to try and find someone to love during this lifetime. I won't say that we're entitled to find that person, because lots of people don't, sometimes through a combination of bad luck and poor choices. But we are entitled to TRY.
And, if there is a god, and he made some people gay, and some people straight, then attempting to force people to change something that is literally in their subconscious wiring is clearly wrong. It's unethical, unconscionable, and immoral. It's also cruel.
People have a right to love, and to try and find someone to love them in return. And as long as we're talking about consenting adults here, no one else has a right to judge them.
Don't like seeing gay people, y'all? Grow the FUCK UP and turn your head and look at the flowers. Or the trees. Or the sky or the birds or some cars. Act like a fucking adult, and learn to be tolerant of other people's differences just like we tolerate your knuckleheadedness.
