LET’S ESTABLISH WHAT HOMOSEXUALITY ISN’T!
It pains me and I mean truly pains me that people in 2010 still do not know what homosexuality is, and both uninformed gay and straight individuals are guilty of this. Information is at our finger tips and knowledge is just a google search away. It seems like ignorance is at the top of every gay mans list when it comes to conceiving their own sexuality.
Homosexuality is not:
A disease.
A disorder.
A deviance.
An affliction.
A lifestyle.
A spirit.
A demon.
A curse.
An addiction.
A choice.
A birth defect.
Or any other crazy demeaning and belittling thing homophobic people try to label it.
For the last time.
Homosexuality along with heterosexuality and bisexuality is a sexual orientation. A legitimate sexual orientation at that.
So please stop spreading this ignorant homophobic rhetoric that homosexuality is anything other than a sexual orientation.

I agree with the spirit of your post, but it’s not clear that homosexuality is *never* a choice. Probably for 99.9% of homosexuals it isn’t, but I like to think some people have voluntary control of their sexuality.
Also, since we’re being word conscious, homobigotry is a more accurate phrase than homophobia.
you’re missing asexuality
