Santorum blames gay marriage for bad economy

[Fritz]

Being gay is not a "choice."  One cannot "choose" to be gay, any more than one can "choose" to be straight.  You could argue that gays can choose not to act upon their homosexuality, to which I would say, straights can also choose not to act upon their heterosexuality.

I am not going to wade through all the pages of argument here to see what Alcon said.  Of course I am not arguing that celibacy is impossible, in fact I conceded that celibacy is possible for straights and gays alike.  I would argue that celibacy is undesirable, for straights and gays alike.  Everyone wants to have sex, and should be able to do so, within safe guidelines of course.  But when you start to argue that homosexuality itself is something that is chosen, and that gays are not entitled to equal protection under the law because of that, I have to take issue with that.
