Apples and oranges.

1. Being left-handed is not contrary to the natural biological function of the human hand. Homosexual acts are contrary to the biological function of human sexual organs.

2. Morality is based upon choice. Since no one makes the conscious choice to be homosexually oriented, homosexual orientation is not objectively immoral. Deliberate acts of homosexuality are immoral, since they involve conscious choices.

3. The human family (husband, wife, children) is the fundamental cell of organic human society everywhere. Behaviors which do not contribute to the formation of families, such as homosexual acts, masturbation, divorce, polygamy, etc., are therefore deliterious to human society.

4. Immoral sexual acts by their intrinsic nature foster the rise and spread of serious infectious diseases among their practioners and the general public.

5. Moral sexual behavior (i.e. sex between husband and wife) is based upon self-giving and the desire to create and nurture life and the human family. Immoral sexual activity is based upon self-gratification and the desire for physical pleasure as its highest ideal, thus tending to dehumanize its practioners, reducing them to mere creatures of lust, suited only to use others or to be used by them.

I see no evidence that supports the contention that some people are "born queer". However, even if this contention were to be demonstrated scientifically, such would only serve to reduce homosexuality to the status of a birth defect. Is that what you want?

No one is saying it's a sin to be attracted to members of the same sex.. Homosexual orientation is inherently disordered (= contrary to the natural law), true, but the Catholic Church teaches only that disordered actions are sinful; the mere orientation towards same-sex relations is considered to be a burden, not a sin.

And even if people are born queer, so what? One's natural orientation is not necessarily a good thing; some are better resisted than given in to. Some people are born with a disordered craving for alcohol, for example. Should we congratulate them when they practice their natural, alcoholic lifestyle? Othere are born with the desire to have sex with children. Should they resist those urges, or should they "be themselves" and go around victimizing little kids?

Your analogy has failed. Please reconsider the issue.
