"I Still Believe Homosexuality is a choice..."

[FreethinkingSceptic]

...

It's pretty simple. Homosexual activity is an elective choice. The desire to engage in homosexual activity may not be entirely a choice.

This is one of the stupidest back-and-forth arguments ever, since neither of the parties are even arguing about the same thing to begin with. "Desire =/= behavior" and vice versa.

This should be the end of it, but sadly this crappy back-and-for argument will probably continue in perpetuity due to the neither of the participants having simple reading comprehension.

I'm not all scientific and smart, but I do understand human nature, as I am one. If I speak for myself, I know what I like and what I'm attracted to and visa versa. Is it a choice that I am attracted to these things? In my opinion, no. I can't make my body crave something it has no interest in. 

So is homosexuality a choice...no. Are you born that way? That, I don't know. I think as you grow, your likes and dislikes form into your brain and senses and whatever is the strongest, sticks for life.

If "homo" is a choice then we have to, "must" admit that we are equally sexually attracted to both sexes and therefore only choose to engage with the opposite, or same. Which of course suggest that in the lack of opposite sex available we would be willing to have sex with the same. As I, personally do not find men to be sexually attractive, I must therefore be a mutant of another planet....which of course, is possible.

Most straight people are simply ignorant, and as there are more of them the ignorance sometimes seems overwhelming, of course that is because it is. Straight people think its either "black or white". Most straights, being ignorant, are also unaware that anywhere from 1.5 to 2% of humanity is born androgynous, with both sex organs. Now to a reasonable person, this should suggest that as physical androgyny is very real, psychological androgyny should be equally possible. So that there should be a multitude of degrees to which any individual can find themselves attracted to either or both sexes. I have never been able to grasp what's hard about this to understand.

I hope in this context you are not defining straight as heterosexual. If you are then your ignoring the the fact that many heterosexual people could care less who a person chooses to love. Its a non-issue. Most of the bigotry aimed at gays and lesbians is based in religious mumbo jumbo which we can all agree is just crazy talk.  Over my many years on this planet I have had gay and lesbian friends and work colleagues.
