Being gay is like a disease

[_plunderpunk]

If being gay is a choice, why don't heterosexuals prove the point by choosing to engage in homosexuality? Or do they?

As we understand it now, the biological certainty of homosexuality is less of a choice then a natural condition.

Whereas traditions - theist or otherwise, are social constructs that rely on their participators
to invent them, define them and pass them along to future generations. In other words,
they exist because people chose for them to exist.

Yet the message we get is: gays chose to be gay, theists are faithful due to nature.

Thoughts?

I think the whole thing needs to become "Who gives a flying fart why gay people are gay? They are. Get over it. They have the right to pursue happiness."

But it does seem pretty clear that people have a hard time accepting "other."

A lot of people believe their own traditions were given to them by their god. That can compound the problem.
