I believe it is also a choice...you can choose to be gay, or you can choose heterosexuality. It is a more difficult choice to make for certain people, just like it's more difficult to refrain from drunkenness for some people...just like it's more difficult to refrain from pornography for some people. I don't believe that homosexuals should be cast out of church...we are all sinners....but I do believe they need to fight their immoral desires and try to become sexually pure according to the Bible. It IS possible to turn from homosexuality...not easy, but possible....I think the only way to do it is through Jesus.
Men and women don't chose to be gay or lesbian; the decision is to act on the orientation. Heterosexuals don't chose to be attracted to the opposite sex; but have the option to live morally pure lives or be promisueous. People with a homosexual orientation have the same option.
