What would you have them do, live in celibacy and misery for their entire lives just because they didn't win the genetic lottery like you? Morality has nothing to do with it, it's biology, plain and simple. A gay person doesn't choose to be gay any more than a zebra chooses to have stripes. You think they should be punished for something they had no control over, a mere misfire of too much sex hormone of one kind or the other in the womb? Do you honestly think they would CHOOSE to be marginalized, persecuted outcasts of society, spending their lives fighting for the very rights and privileges the rest of us take for granted, if they had any say in the matter? You think a woman in Afghanistan would choose to be female and treated as nothing more than property if she could help it?
