"choose not to be gay" the only presure on these people comes from bigoted subjects who discriminate them and therefor make "coming out" a risky thing. Something also known as "social pressure"
and what was the reasoning behind giving the "hate strait people" example? did you simply write it down because you wanted to write it down?!
Hey! I also have a great Idea! Let`s also let racists decide if racism is right or wrong!

Changing it from birth is not allowing people to make up their own mind. It is making it for them before they even have a chance to know there is a choice. Talk about obvious.

Did you just equate homosexuality to racism here?

It's a catch-22, but one that only a homosexual individual has the "right" to answer.
The point? Mind your own business, a homosexual will ask for your help if they need it.

Nope.
It was a slovenly attempt to make your point look redicilous.
Because it is.
I simply have to think of a better way to phrase it, mhmmm.
Lets simply say that the determination of what is right and wrong and what should be cured and not should be left to professionals and not to individuals.
Of course some homosexuals will try to "cure" themselves, but the reason why they want to cure themselves is in most cases not the homosexuality itself but the resulting bigotry from the sociaty they live in.

Fuck that bullshit of letting some "professional" decide the fate of anyone. What say we allow individuals to decide for themselves?

no. professionals should decide what is moraly alright to do and what not.
say we could clone humans? should we let professionals decide over it`s ethics and if it should be legal or not. or should pharmacutical companies decide themselves if they want to harvest donor organs through cloning?
if "a cure" should ever be found, then it depends on the ethical questions asked surrounding that cure if it will be made available.
Just like with every kind of medicin coming on a market.
Personaly, the reason for homosexuality has been found to be within the genes and therefor is not exactly something one could cure.
Therefor, from a realistic perspective: this entire thread and it`s opening question is nothing but mental masturbation for homophobes who pretend to be "humanitarian and caring" by talking about what to do IF a cure is ever found.

Let's take it a step futher to a level where I believe most would agree with?
Let's say the cause of homosexuality has been proven to be poor nutrition. Should proper nutrition be forced upon all mothers?

Wrong. We all have the right to free speech. Even you, which is unfortunate.

Funny how you half-ass barge into a thread, assert yourself and then tell other people to mind their own business. How do you know I am not bisexual? How do you know I am not related to homosexuals who frequently express their gratitude that straights stand up for their rights? Who the hell are you to tell people not to defend human rights? As it stands, I'm not sticking up for gays. I am sticking up for babies. Leave people's genes alone. That includes those of any infants I may give birth to. However, I wouldn't mind a good old sweep of the internet dumbass gene. You know, people who don't read, but feel like they can articulate whatever stupid ass idea pops into their heads? 
Catfish, what part of changing a baby's genetics is not letting them decide for themselves do you not fucking understand? We are standing up for letting people decide for themselves. You seem to think babies can make decisions before they were born. Yep, we need a solution for that dumbass gene and fast.

It seems that both of you are claiming to know what causes homosexuality...
Do your research first.

I can dodge parts of conversations I can't handle with short snippets too. Still, I'll kick it into your new goalpost. Just don't forget to address the fact that babies cannot make choices. Read the OP. We are not talking about "curing" adults. We are talking about ridding the world of homosexuality. No new person would have a choice.
