Now shouldn't the real question be thusly: is homosexuality a conscious choice or is it a mental disorder?
I don't think it's a mental disorder, I think it's a variant of normal behavior.
But if I had to choose between the two I think it's CLOSER to a mental disorder than a conscious choice. I know a lot of male gays and none of them said they chose it. Sometimes they struggled against their natural impulses for a long time. In the case of lesbians on the other hand I think sometimes it's out of their control and sometimes they choose the behavior for political/social/experimental reasons. Many lesbians are really asexual people who have sex with women because they are feminists, or don't like men for other reasons than lack of sexual attraction. Another thing I've seen more often with lesbians is giving up lesbianism to have kids. Don't ask me to post links or evidence. I am speaking from my own experience with people I actually know and my own observations of their behavior.
Bottom line, probably sometimes it's a choice and sometimes it's the call of nature.
