It makes no difference to anyone here - as a decent person - whether homosexuality is 'a choice or not'. Whether it is 'a choice or not' means it is their life. Any basic American should have no problem with their choice.
Many insist that being homosexual is a sin. Fine. That is a religion. If homosexuality is a sin in your religion, then you are not homosexual. But as soon as your religious beliefs are imposed upon anyone else, then you become anti-America, anti-humanity, and a satanist. Your religious beliefs never apply to anyone else. Never. The alternative is something we are all familiar with - The Spanish Inquisition. The persecution of Galileo. The Crusades. Whether he is gay by choice or not – you don’t pass judgement if you are truly a moral person.
When another passes judgment using religious beliefs, that person even violates the principles of being an American. You have a problem with his choice. I sympathise. However that is only your problem - an emotion. How you deal with your problem should never violate principles we associate with America. It is his choice. That does not, for one minute, harm any person reading this. Whether it is 'a choice or not' makes an interesting science discussion. But nobody cares whether he is gay 'by choice or not'. He is. Then that is reality. Done.
