The usual response is that it is a choice, and the wrong one at that. I've always found that viewpoint extremely silly, not to mention scientifically disproved.

could one not argue that while it is not a choice to have homosexual desires, is it a choice to act on them?

That is logic that I can understand. Yes, I would agree with that. Except there follows then the logical question: why is it bad to act on them? In the case of someone with, say, the desire to have sex with children, then I would agree that it is bad to act on those desires, because doing so harms someone. But who is harmed when consenting adults use those desires to enter into a supportive, longterm partnership? Isn't that good for society?

Also, the question arises, why would God give such strong desires to so many people, and then say they can't act on them? Sounds rather cruel.
