I've never heard the word CHOICE used. I've heard homosexuality called a disease or a perversion, or comparing it to addictions, but never called a *choice*, except by left-wingers and homosexuals debunking the alleged claim! Now, as for homosexual acts, that's another thing. Certainly one can make a choice, regardless of orientation, for sexual activity or for celibacy, and many right-wingers do believe that, if homosexuality can't be "cured," that celibacy should be chosen, but that's not the same thing as claiming that homosexuality itself is a choice -- "There's no such thing as 'cool'. Everyone's just a big dork or nerd, you just have to find people who are dorky the same way you are." - overheard ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTaylor42
