I find it hard to believe that young kids would choose a homosexual lifestyle over a heterosexual one.

Well they don't "choose" schizophrenia or other psychological disorders either. Mental illness comes on for many complex reasons, overt choice usually isn't one of them.

And homosexuality was considered a mental illness until 1973. That's when homosexual activism was able to have it removed as a mental illness. It certainly wasn't science that lead to the change. The article mentions Dr. Spitzer - he was involved in that decision and now he believes homosexuals can leave the lifestyle.

Are you saying that homosexuality is like a mental illness or is a mental illness? If so I'm not sure that I would go that far in deccribing it but I do believe it may be based on certain inherited 'traits' that may become overwhelming as a young adult matures.

Again, the article in post 14 is a good one.
