It's astounding.
More people realize it's not a choice and, therefore, shouldn't be discriminated against.

And even if it wasn't a choice....so what? Are we so backwards that we act on our own impulses and fail to exercise self-restraint? I know of people who are attracted to their own mothers (through no fault of their own). Should they be permitted to pursue such a relationship and if not, why not?

You lack empathy, you takfiri wahabist. If it isn't a choice put yourself in their position. Imagine a world where homosexuality is the norm and heterosexuality is taboo. Now imagine a major line of argument against your sexuality is "don't give into your urges" and "just marry and sleep with a man." Very reasonable advice, huh? In this hypothetical, your only response should be "yeah, I would sleep with a man if that were the case."

"What's next, incest?" No one can stop blood relatives from entering a sexual relationship. In terms of marriage, being attracted to your relatives isn't a sexual orientation, so I don't see the relevance to this issue. "What about bestiality?" The animals are non-consensual parties. "Pederasty?" The children are non-consensual parties. Anything else, Kaafiye???
