Ishmael Jnr,

You seem to have made my point!

If si, can you talk us through how, specically, and when, exactly, you decided upon your current choice of sexuality?

homosexuality is a choice...heterosexuality is not a choice...science supports this, logic supports this, and common sense supports this.

Your silly attempt to obscure the topic with "all" sexuality must be a choice or "all" must not is sophomoric.

Homosexuality is not an immutable position, in the eyes of science, eyes of the law, or the eyes of mentally unchallenged.

An absolute naked assertion. There's overwhelming evidence that you simply set aside in favor of your dogma. Take off the blinders...

This has to be one of the dumbest things I have read. I bet we will not see any of the science to back this up.

Lets see if logic and common sense support this. Heterosexuality is not a choice, yet homosexuality is a choice. Does that mean the person who chooses to be homosexuality was before that choice heterosexual? Wouldn't that mean they could not choose otherwise if heterosexuality is not a choice? It seems you want it both ways.

Is it really common sense so many people would choose to be homosexual knowing they will be discriminated against, ostracized from their community(especially one who grow up in religious communities that hate gays like LDS), etc.
