I am willing to concede it may not be a choice. But I still believe it may be a chemical imbalance in a persons brain or some deeper mental disorder.
What makes it a "disorder", though? They're not "normal" by the usual definition of the word, but I've known homosexuals before, and there's nothing
wrong with them. There obviously are differences between homosexuals and heterosexuals at some level of things, but homosexuals are just as equally capable as heterosexuals of being normal, productive members of society and living a long, happy life. The only thing "wrong" with them, really, is the arbitrary labelling of "wrong" that has been attached to homosexuality for no real reason whatsoever.
I've never understood the concept of "curing" homosexuality, really. The homosexuals I've known didn't want to be cured. They had accepted their homosexuality and it had simply become a part of their life. What needs curing is the mentality that there's something wrong with being a homosexual, since that's the thing that hurts them the most. Homosexuality certainly isn't a disease; barring the usual fallacies around this issue*, there is absolutely nothing that makes homosexuals less healthy than heterosexuals.
*I add this note because I know that there's going to be someone who will chime in with the line, "But homosexuality causes AIDS!" This is 100% false. Promiscuous sexual activity is what causes the transmittal of AIDS just as it does with heterosexuals. AIDS is not something inherent in homosexuality, just as it is not something that heterosexuals are immune to. While it's true that anal sex poses a higher risk of AIDS transmittal than regular sex, the transmittal can only occur if one person already had AIDS, just as in the case when two heterosexual people have sex and one has AIDS. Finally, as there is no convincing evidence at all that homosexuals are inherently more promiscuous than heterosexuals, the logical conclusion follows that there is nothing that would make homosexuals less healthy than heterosexuals.
