"Let me be clear: I'm proud to be gay, and I consider my conscious choice to being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me"

There, fixed it.

No, you didn’t fix it. You just provided an example of why their activism has become as successful as it has. With extremely rare exceptions, people don’t consciously choose to be gay. The opposite extreme, that they are born that way, is also false. It’s a dysfunctional compulsion brought on by emotional damage too early in life to be thinking about sexual attraction. The choice comes when a person recognizes the compulsion in themselves and makes a choice whether to combat it or embrace and nurture it.

By viewing it simplisticly and dismissing the compulsion itself as a choice, we have missed the opportunity for rational public debate on the subject and motivated homosexuals to entrench themselves and fight that much harder.
