But isn’t this something that God gave to us...choice? I walk down the street every day and there are hundreds of choices I make.
I disagree with homosexuality as a recreational act. But there is no law against it and God and the law say it’s okay to decided to do it./...as long as it doesn’t harm anyone.

No, it is wrong. But in our time and place, our society has managed to fend off and dump the consequences of sin on others, mostly the less powerful. One group that has suffered a lot is children, due to adults just living for what they think is their own happiness in this life.
A recent article posted here discussed how male homosexuality wasn’t approved of in the ancient world as the propaganda today advertises it was. Only the “top” role in sodomy was considered acceptable, while the “bottom” role was a degraded position. And, even today, medical authorities consider anal sex to be highly risky. This, despite all of modern medicine, of which a lot of money is spent on curing and trying to prevent the ills of this type of sex. One can only imagine, then, the probably effects of it in the ancient world, especially on the person, who was most often a slave or boy, in the “bottom” role.
Considering God’s Word, though, the rise of homosexuality is just one of many ways in which society today has turned from Christ.
