Yes, Homosexuality Absolutely Is a Choice

Confession time.
To all of my Christian brothers and sisters who insist that homosexuality is a choice, I need to break down and finally admit something: I agree with you.
I believe that it absolutely is a choice too, only not in the way that you may have meant.
But I guess that's largely the crux of the problem we have here. I think you use your terms too loosely without really thinking them through. When you say quite matter-of-factly that homosexuality is a choice, I'm not sure you really know in that moment, just what you mean by "homosexuality".
Far too often Christian, when you make the statement that being gay is a sin, what you're really doing without realizing it is reducing all LGBT people down to a sex act -- as if that alone defines sexuality.
You're denying any emotional component in their lives, any capacity to feel real love or show genuine affection toward someone else.
