Premise 1: Homosexual behavior is unnatural and immoral.
Premise 2: Gays choose to engage in homosexual behavior.
Conclusion: Gays make a willful choice to engage in immoral behavior.
A lot of bigots would accept these premises. A lot of people keep out of other people's bedrooms and don't give a damn about what's happening there. Nosing into other people's sexual behavior is quite telling in itself. None of anybodys business what you're doing there, none of anybodys business what anybody is doing there, as long as it's between consenting adults.
You are arguing that homosexuality isn't immoral. I don't see how it is immoral either. However I could see how God would frown upon it. A human being has enough capacity to reason out that boys are supposed to like girls and vice versa. Choosing to engage in homosexual behavior is making a choice to act in a manner that is contrary to reason.
I don't really care what homosexuals do as long as they are not hurting anyone. I don't think God really cares either, but I do see how God could care. If the standard He sets to judge a human is based on acting upon reason instead of instinct...then yeah I could see God "punishing" homosexuality.

Using a different definition than they are using is refuting a straw man argument. When the anti gay crowd calls homosexuality unnatural they mean homosexuality isn't the usual and ordinary course of nature.
Define "usual" and "ordinary".
Well if were going to play the definition game, how about you define "define" and "and"?
If I were going to attack the anti gay crowd on their definition of natural, I would make the argument that just because something is not the usual and ordinary course of nature doesn't make it immoral. Right handedness is the usual and ordinary course of nature for human beings...does that make left handed people immoral?
