2. This whole “homosexuality is a choice” thing bugs me. I wish somebody making this claim would prove it by “deciding” to become homosexual for an hour. The we hook him/her up to a brain scanner and show sexy pictures of men and women and see which ones he/she responds to.

2. I think the “it’s not a choice” card is a weak one, because it doesn’t really require acceptance (sociopaths operate “without a choice,” but we don’t forgive them and let them be on that account; at most, it causes us to be sympathetic to their being a victim of circumstance).
Instead, the question must be, “So what the hell difference does it make?” Or maybe, “What the hell difference that makes a difference to everyone besides you does it make?” What consenting adults do behind closed doors is their own business; before someone decides that’s a basis to discriminate, they’d best (a) make sure their own house is in order, and (b) come up with a reason other than “a religious authority told me so” or “I find it personally distasteful.”
