Being gay is a choice
When did you make your choice not to be gay?
Pretty much the same time I make the choice not to cheat on my wife, or lie at work, or cheat on my taxes.
It is called self control...most have lost all conception of what that means.
One cannot for the most part, choose their attractions.
One CAN, however choose to act on them.

So, lets pretend we are a "Disorder" or a "Defect" or "Freaks of Nature" or "Unnatural"... whats the next step? you win, than what? does it give you the justification to continue the abuse? does it change the Constitution? what does it do besides give you a Moral Victory?

Or, it goes the other way, with conservative preachers and politicians who take a hard line against homosexuality, then you find they are frequenting gay dating websites, trying to "hook up".

HOWEVER. They do have some legitimate fears. Namely the violation of the right of conscience. We should be careful not to use equal rights as a battering ram to diminish other rights held by those we disagree with. Namely, the religious among us. I say it is a legitimate concern for them because of some instances of using the system to shut down those who did not want to participate in the name of their religious morals. Wedding chapels and cake shops, for instance.

You didn't answer my question though. Why haven't you given up your sexuality for God?
