I have one problem with the statement "homosexuality is not a choice", or perhaps how it's often used. It feels to me like conceding ground to even answer a question that shouldn't be asked. Why does homosexuality need to be ineveitble to be acceptable? And for those of us who are bisexual and can be seen in light of this question as being able to 'choose' -- why should it even be under discussion?
I think homosexuality should be conceptualized as a neutral quality in and of itself, deserving of toleration and undeserving of oppression, not as a negative quality that can't be helped and so there's no point trying to change it.
*rereads* I hope this is clear, as I have to dash. *laugh at myself*
