And btw, the whole "when did you choose to be straight" question is really played out. People dont fall for that shit anymore. You guys thought that was clever but now everyone uses that line. Its a trick question. Its short sided to presume that homosexuality is only and always a genetic disposition.
Since when did it become a clever trick for turn about to be fair play? It is the exact question you are demanding an answer for. It is a question which should have an easy answer if your bigotry was true. The truth is you followed your instinct like everyone else. Being shortsighted is asking others to defend their sexuality without being able to defend yours.
Then to explore the ramifications that logic, it is not a choice for straight people, it is automatic, but it is a choice for gay people. This would mean that those who have a choice always choose the same sex? I find that hard to believe. Whenever humans are given a choice, they go gay, does that sound rational to you? No, so it must be a disorder. I can't imagine anyone ever enjoying eating cows tongue, doesn't mean it's a disorder.
It seems much more logical and reflective of reality to assume gay people's sexual desire is also a result of natural instinct, unless you think your situation is unique. Are you a special person with special sexual development? As you demonstrated, you can not muster the same defense of your preference that you demand of others.
Your conclusions do not seem to be based in any sort of reasonable observation. Your belief tells you it's wrong and should be stopped, but you can not give any meaningful reason for this belief other than other religious peoples arguments. You think it's wrong because you think it's gross, and you can not give even the slightest justification for why without incorporating fantasy and misrepresentation of reality. This is how you are required to view the world to coincide with your beliefs. It warps your reality and poisons your good will to your fellow man. It causes you to preach intolerance and exclusion over things which don't effect you in the slightest.
There is a big difference between deciding something is distasteful to you, and deciding that all people engaging in that something deserved to be punished, or have something wrong with them. Pretty much every couple who has sex does something that another couple would find disgusting. So, the only real criticism that you can list for homosexuals is a criticism that can be said about anyone who has sex, including you. When forming an opinion, we must be careful not to base hatred on distaste alone. If no one was ever allowed to be offended by anything, then no one would ever be allowed to do anything. Everything you say, do, or stand for offends someone somewhere.
You do not have to state your religious bias for it to be apparent. This is a good example of asserting prejudice and oppression based on the false authority you think your asinine belief in god affords you. If you think that homosexuality, or anyone's sexuality, is a choice then you are not educated enough to express any sort of informed opinion. You are using god to justify monomaniacal discrimination. When your attempts at logic and reason fail, you fall back on the words of fanatics who are smarter than you, somehow finding comfort and absolution in bigotry. I can't not think of a better description of perverse.
“Nothing optional--from homosexuality to adultery--is ever made punishable unless those who do the prohibiting have a repressed desire to participate." ― Christopher Hitchens
