Born this way, baby

[TaraJo]

Three things have come up in my head with threads like this.

1) Homosexuality being normal and natural is extremely well established in the scietific community. It's reached the point where it's so well established that we don't even bother debating it. Sometimes people will try to figure out what causes homosexuality, and we've come to some interesting conclusions from genetics, epi-genetics, prenatal hormone levels, prenatal brain development and even birth order. None of these are things that people have any realistic choice over.

2) Even if it is a choice to be gay, that doesn't do anything to make it bad. So, whether you're gay or straight, does it have any damaging detrimental effect on anyone?

3) Why would someone actuall choose to be gay? I mean, really, look at the hate and discrimination we have to face. Look at people being beaten and murdered and harassed for being gay. Look at children being kicked out by their family because they're gay. Look at people who can't marry their partner or get marriage rights. What possible reason could anyone have for choosing all these things?
