Yes, cause I'm sure people just wake up one day and say "I'm going to start being attracted to the same sex, just for fun even though I'll be ostracized from a good bit of the population!!! Yay for me!!!" :rolleyes:
You know, I hate when people are intentionally obtuse. People make plenty of choices that get them "ostracized from a good bit of the population". People choose to cheat on their wives or husbands because they are "in love" and "it feels right". Sure, they don't wake up and say "I'm going to start being attracted to my secretary at work", but it happens. In fact, there are points when these people probably wouldn't find their spouse attractive, but that's not an excuse for infidelity. It's the same logos. People choose to do a lot of things because they think they need to: drinking, drugs, murder. These things aren't socially acceptable either. Does the fact that we want to do them make them right? I think not.
This argument is NOTHING like how one is wired to being attracted to one sex or another, by your example it would be do you have an affair with the secretary or pool boy.Sexual orientation isn't a choice, and is immutable after the age of 3yo. Your religious beliefs don't alter that scientific FACT!
You only need to look at the children of Phyliss Schlafly and Alan Keyes to know those kids would have had an INFINITELY easier life if they could just have chosen to be straight.....they couldn't.
Aversion therapy and electroshock doesn't alter orientation, I personally know a MCC minister who was so self loathing in his 20's he tried electroshocks.
