Let me make sure i got this straight: before people are born they choose to be gay so that they can be judged harshly for their immoral behavior? So our souls want to be gay, and they knowingly do this to their own detriment?

I don't like the born that way argument, if you had asked me when I was a child what sexuality I was, except for the defensive "I'M NOT GAY!" kid attitude. I could never have given an honest answer because my sexuality was not truly known to me.
We're all gay, it's just to what extent are you gay.
But to say you've always known you're gay or strait is in my view wrong. I hope we can all agree that child molester's are not natural, but if sexuality is something you just are, and not of you're own choice, then should we show leniency for this perversion? It's who they are, they can't help it, they were born that way, right?
No sexuality is not a born thing it's experience, and choice as you become sexually mature.
For some the lines will always be muddled, myself for example, I've never engaged in homosexuality not for moral reasons "as I can find nothing immoral about it", but because I decided I prefer women.But yet I still can't look you in the eye, and say rather or not I'm sexually attracted to Russel Crowe! That man is my enigma!
He has such dreamy eyes, and can wear the hell out of a cowboy hat! We're all gay it's just to what extent, and the choice has and always will be you're own.

Very well-said. I believe that those who claim that homosexuality is a "choice" and/or can be "cured" are ignorant, misinformed, and lack the proper research and education on the subject.

It seems that people find the thought of choosing you're own path to be a bigotry concept.
Have you never liked something when you were younger, and then do to life experience changed your mind about that something?
Our emotions, feelings, everything that makes us who we are, are created through experience.
I'm sorry that my belief that we make our own choices offends everyone, but sexuality is a part of our psyche developed by experience.
To say someone chose to be gay isn't a evil thing in my view, it's who they are, they chose their life, and I for one am comforted by the thought that I choose my way in life, that there's not some "I can't help it, it was fate" scenario, that put's who I am out of my control.
Everything has an affect on you, maybe not significant, but an affect none the less. If I meet a guy, and choose to be with him, you can bet I'll not say I had no chose in the matter, but for what ever reason he made me happy, and the decision wasn't some fate I was doomed to from birth, just a chose I wanted to make for me, based off experience in my life.

Well I never claimed to be good with words.
And I'm not attracted to my hand, but I don't believe I need anymore explanation.
And because the way women tend to view sex (it is as much emotional as physical), I do think it is easier for a woman to find same sex intercourse to be acceptable.
