That's Opinion not fact .... get the splinters outta your mouth it's giving you a lispThey obviously have no control over their behavior. I can choose to go out and screw as many women as I want to or even have sex with a herd of sheep.
But I don't. Those things are not within the realm of what's considered "normal behavior."
Anyone can control whether they have sex or not.
What they cannot control is who they find attractive or who they love.
I have never read any statement by any homosexual that stated otherwise.
If you are not a homosexual, you have no way of knowing. If you are......
I guess then you haven't done much treading on the topic - outside of leftist publications - try reading an less biased article which states
" If someone is born homosexual, the claim that he/she has no control over their perversion, the false assumption that their homosexuality is a product of their birth over which they have no control then why use the terms "sexual preference" or "alternative lifestyle" both of which imply that they have chosen their lifestyle. .... The only scientific evidence cited when passing the resolution to declassify Homosexuality as a mental illness was based on studies by Alfred Kinsey, who admitted that he flubbed his results and Dr. Evelyn Hooker." Homosexuality as a Mental Illness Now we are in agreement that being queer is probably a birth defect and not an acquired trait in the majority of instances - but its far from settled science
Given the fact that homosexuality has been around as long as mankind, and was severely punished for centuries, I doubt most homosexuals would choose that orientation.
If they CONSCIOUSLY chose that orientation then it would be the equivalent of being born that way - as nobody would choose it unless they were already oriented towards it - non gays find queer sex repugnant and repulsive. No it's not a conscious choice, traditionally psychaitry / psychology viewed as a trait acquired in the formulative pre-cognizant years - usually around the time that a toddler acquires coherent speech and at the very latest in the first five years of life.
