A thought on Homosexuality

[robvalue]

I don't find it relevant whether someone is born gay, becomes gay at some point or even somehow chooses to be gay. It's no one's business but their own.

While all this is true i just thought the distinction needed to be said that change does not equal choice .

Absolutely, yes. I should have made clear that I was talking from a moral perspective. Understanding sexuality as a whole is very important, and shouldn't be oversimplified.

I think the "born that way" defense is something of a stop-gap. It only applies to people who think there's something inherently inferior or even immoral about homosexuality, and this argument tells them that they "can't help it". Once people generally stop being bigots in the first place, the argument won't be needed or even make sense anymore.
