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".

To me, if it is a choice, then hating homosexuals would be equal to hating someone for preferring chinese food to pizza.
