First of all, I don't see why it would matter whether homosexuality is
biological or not.  An individual owns his body. What he chooses to do
with another consenting adult is his business.  Which leads me to ask
how in the heck can homosexuals be spoken of in the same breath as
child molestors and rapists?  In the case of child molestation and rape, there
is a non-consenting party involved.  

I'm not a doctor. (But I play one with my girlfriend.) But I do know that
I did not choose to be a heterosexual.  I suspect homosexuality is the same.
