But they DID choose. Sexual Orientation is choice. A person chooses which or what behaviors he or she will follow. Genetics decides if you're male or female. SIN enters the photo and you get aberrations of nature. Children born with both gender reproductive parts. "But it was not this way in the beginning."
Call it what you will. What a person does with his or her life is CHOICE. Everything is a choice. Count up all the choices you have in the next fifteen minutes. Choice. I choose to sit in front of the computer. I choose to type an answer to a thread on FR. I choose to pick up my drink and I choose NOT to spill it on the keyboard. I choose to drink three swallows of tea, then I choose to place the glass frighteningly close to the edge of the computer desk. I choose to turn swiftly to see the dog at my feet and in so doing, I knock the glass of tea onto the carpet. I CHOSE to place that glass of tea "frighteningly close" to the edge of the desk and I CHOSE to tempt fate (gravity and my own innate clumsiness) when I placed that glass there. It wasn't really an "accident of nature" it was a CHOICE. Because I could have chosen to place the glass on the side table away from the computer.
Orientation and what the individual does with it is a choice. We (the public) have allowed everything to become sexual in nature. One advertisement for a male sexual enhancer says: Sex is an important part of every relationship. THAT is a LIE straight from he!!. SEX has NOTHING to do with EVERY relationship. It's only a PART of the marital relationship. But society has convinced us that "SEX" is an important part of EVERY relationship.
BalderDash. "It was not so in the beginning."
G*d created male and female. He created them both. Two. Two separate genders. And then He went so far as to give them guidelines for a healthy and productive life.

We have conditioned ourselves to think that nature has decreed what in reality are OUR CHOICES in given situations. It might be harder for one person to overcome his own conditioning and conditioned responses because his conscience is not fully formed than it would be for another person who has a better formed conscience (knowledge of G*d's laws and commands). Look at two examples: Mother Teresa of Calcutta and Charles Manson. Who has the highly formed conscience? Who has conditioned himself with choices that have essentially killed what little conscience he may have had? CHOICES. That's all it boils down to. One chose G*d's way. One chose the 'other' way. CHOICE.
Life is a choice. Choose Life.
Holosexuality is not a choice. Their lifestyle is.
You are exactly right. The push for "gay rights" is just part of the wider assault on the virtue of chastity.
