I'm glad you aren't ... however just because it is a lifestyle choice doesn't mean it is the RIGHT one. The same is true about abortion, drug use, illegal or addictive perscription drugs etc... is it the RIGHT choice?

As to choosing our lifestyles...
The Georgia Supreme Court noted:The individual's right to freely exercise his or her liberty is not dependent upon whether the majority believes such exercise to be moral, dishonorable, or wrong. Simply because something is beyond the pale of "majoritarian morality" does not place it beyond the scope of constitutional protection. To allow the moral indignation of a majority (or, even worse, a loud and/or radical minority) to justify criminalizing private consensual conduct would be a strike against freedoms paid for and preserved by our forefathers.
