Why would anybody choose to have an affair? To make their life more difficult and awkward?
Why would anybody choose to be a prostitute? To make their life more difficult and awkward?
Why would anybody choose to be a drug addict? To make their life more difficult and awkward?
Why would anybody choose to be .... ad infinitum.
First of all there is no identity between "over the top gay groups" and propnents of traditional morality.
Secondly people do all manner of bizarre things without reasonable cause such as whack their dongs off and pretend they are a girl. Is that as morally neutral to you as SSAD?
False propaganda alert.
Why would anyone choose to be manic-depressive, or neurotic, or to be obsessive-compulsive, or....
The point being, it may not be a matter of choice, but it is also not necessarily a good thing. It's pretty obvious that homosexuality is a disordered sexuality.
Let us not pretend that it is a healthy and normal thing. Because we already know that it's not.
Please cite your source or sources for the 10% figure. I believe you have fallen for a way over the top gay group's propaganda. The NIMH report I remember has the number at closer to 5%.
Why would anyone choose to be a pedophile?
Why would anyone choose to be an alcoholic?
Why would anyone choose to be a drug addict?
The answer is, no one chooses one day to be any of those things. It's something they enter into unconsciously, one step at a time.
Multiple studies show that homosexuals only constitute between 2-4% of the total population:

The 10% figure was a statistical distortion started by Alfred Kinsey, and he later recanted it and stated that homosexuals make up only about 4% of the total population.
Maybe because they are mentally ill, and can't help themselves---any more than a paranoid schizophrenic or manic depressive can. Gay behavior is NOT normal.

Just as it is the vested interest of the "over-the-top gay groups" to publish the HIGHER numbers. It isn't the "anti-gay" folks who are blocking scientific reserach into what the causes of "gayness" might be. Any "cause" other than "it's in the genes" is denigrated and, in many cases, cannot be published.
Sources, please?
Or are you a troll?
Your use of the patently false 10% figure is highly suspicious.
Kinsey came up with that figure in order to promote sexual deviancy, and his whole life's work was the promotion and practice of sexual deviancy.
Even "gay" activists now admit they lied when they used the 10% figure.
The real number of homosexuals (at any given time, since there are tens of thousands of former homosexuals) is roughly 2%.
Since you are new to FR, why don't you read some of the articles linked to here about homosexuality, so you can have an informed opinion instead of a fact-free one:

Uninformed troll alert. gwbistheman, you're going to wish you hadn't shown off your lack of knowledge.
Shalom.
The homo-advocacy group HRC in their Lawrence bried admitted that the maximum number of homosexuals is 2.7% of the population. The 10% number has long been discredited and the 2.7% number is still suspect.
The a portion of the long term prison population chooses homosexual conduct in prison and when release chooses to stop the homosexual conduct.
There is more than enough empircal and scientific evidence to discredit the notion of "born" homosexual that has been fabricated in the last half century.
Why would anyone choose to be gay?
They don't - they're confused. From here:
"As a former homosexual, I can tell you first-hand homosexuality is birthed out of dysfunction. No one is born 'gay', and in most cases no one chooses to be 'gay.' Homosexuality tragically develops early on in the childhood — bumping the individual down a path they would probably never have chosen. Homosexuality is abnormal, unnatural, unhealthy, mentally and emotionally destructive — and in many cases deadly. I know: I've buried countless friends who've died from AIDS.Science supports the above as well, along with the fact that there are tens of thousands of former homosexuals.
And from here:
Each year, thousands of men and women with same sex attractions make the personal decision to leave homosexuality. Their choice is one only they can make. However, there are other people who refuse to respect that choice, and endeavor to attack the ex-gay community...I dont know where that study is from, but many studies have concluded that the percentage of gay people is closer to 10%,
You've bought the lie and/or you're reading all the wrong sources. The 10% is a lie and a myth. It's never been true and homosexual groups have so admitted:
Homosexual Advocacy Groups Admit 10% Fallacy
Homosexuality is a disorder.
The fact that you can't think of any doesn't mean there are none.
To make every facet of their life more difficult and akward?
Again, you think in a pre set way. Some may find it easier.
I dont know where that study is from, but many studies have concluded that the percentage of gay people is closer to 10%, with many more that are at least somewhat curious.
I saw one study that said everyone is gay, and one that said no one is gay. People can whatever they want and back it up with phony statistics.
You guys are just falling for a doctor with a pro-family, religious marriage agenda, in the same way over-the-top gay groups have an agenda.
Falling for? He is expresing his opinion, in the same way the homosexuals express theirs.
Please don't post that well refuted bullsh*t as fact.
You said it yourself in a later post:
No money-pit children, crying at 4am, and getting a dui with the family car at 17. No wife that turns into a cow approximately 30 minutes after she says I do. No minivan. Just oodles of expendable income, luxury cars, restaurant dinners, and vacations.
In other words, you admit that being "gay" is a life of carefree luxury, for as long as it lasts. Plenty of people would choose that, unfortunately. Fortunately, natural selection is on our side. You can waste your money on passing luxuries, we'll spend ours having kids.
but many studies have concluded that the percentage of gay people is closer to 10%
Oh, and the 10% figure is a proven fraud. 2-3% is the reliable scientific estimate. The 10% figure is based on Kinsey the Pedophile's studies on prisoners and perverts -- not on the general, normal population. You can go research this yourself.
with many more that are at least somewhat curious
Not men. Howard Stern said it best: "Men are either gay, or they're not -- they're never curious". A few women are fashionably curious but it seems they always come back to men in the end.
Yeah, sure.
I would like to see these "many studies" that prove that 10 percent of the American people are sodomites.
I think that is a gay fairy tale.
"Why would anyone choose to be gay?"
Are you suggesting that it isn't their choice??
"You guys are just falling for a doctor with a pro-family, religious marriage agenda"
It's not an agenda...as the old saying goes, "God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve."
"many studies have concluded that the percentage of gay people is closer to 10%" Let's see some backup for that.
