If sexual preference is not a choice, then it must be something genetic that forces the behavior onto the person. Well, if that is the case then the following are true: 1) homosexuality occurs in a minority of the population and 2) it does not result in biological procreation, hence is an evolutionary dead-end. In that sense, sexual preference is similar to other genetic disorders and I don't think anyone--not even me--would want homosexuality to be classified as a genetic disorder. Thus, sexual preference must be a choice.

On the other hand, if they say "it isn't a choice" then they don't have to take responsibility for their actions. It isn't their fault, etc.

Were I homosexual, I would want to be with my partner and I would want my partner to be with me because they want to be, not because they have to be.
