"Homosexuality is a choice" and its paradox

Aw, fair enough.

If we're talking probabilities of either being a choice, I'd have to go they are both equally 0 :p

To anyone that's curious

I think what motivated/motivates me to discuss if it's a choice or not is the way in which the theist reacts to homosexuals. If it isn't a choice, then their hatred is identical to that of a racist: hating someone for something that was out of their control. This gets me worked up more than anything in the world and I won't sit idly by and let people such as my friend treat homosexuals like their intrisic characteristic is something "bad" and "wrong".
