I have a natural attraction to females. Two things though:

1) I do choose not to live a promiscuous life. In fact, if I so chose, I could be celibate the rest of my life (I do intend on getting married, so this really isn’t an option). The fact is, regardless of my natural attractions, I have the choice to act on those attractions. Just as an alcoholic may not be able to help his addiction to alcohol but can choose to abstain from alcohol, so too can we do the same with sexual urges.

2) You’re assuming that homosexual attraction is natural and the default position of humanity.

Likewise, the analogy isn’t false at all. People may have natural tendencies to certain things, but they have the choice to act or abstain on those tendencies. So I fail to see how the analogy is false.

Did you choose to be straight?
