Clearly Jewish People made a choice to practice Judaism.

I could do the same, but I choose not to, since any impulse is opposed by my moral compass.

So you are admitting you are Bisexual and harbor attractions and sexual feelings for members of your sex?
To underscore a point: Jewish people and people who have other religions in society who are in the minority are protected by Civil Rights laws; they have made a choice not to conform to the Christian majority ... those civil rights laws are immoral?

Huh?

It isn't exactly rare though. Out closest genetic match, the bonobo monkey, engages in homosexuality regularly and 8% of rams are gay.

I am stating the fact that monkeys are animals and that human beings are people.

Do you deny this fact?

By the way it is spelled "Shirley" and "I am serious, and don't call me Shirley".

"Do you like to hang around the gymnasium?"

"Do you like movies about gladiators?"

Some more relevant portions.

Are you gay? Do you desire men? Is that how you choose to be straight?

Let's face it, we are who we are and nothing can change that.

What does that have to do with learned behaviors and chosen lifestyles, besides that human beings can learn and choose both?

There is no such thing as sexual "orientation".

You have invented a non-existing state so that you can claim that sexuality is not under the control of a person's free will.

How does "Russian morality" differ from "American morality", in your opinion?

I just read your comments about the animal kingdom. Nowhere does it explain how homosexuality in the animal kingdom is not natural and man made.

It's borderline heterophobia that you can no longer be politically correct and say that heterosexuality is the biological norm. Nothing in that is saying there is anything wrong with homosexuality or they shouldn't have equal rights or anything. It doesn't change the highly unpoplar fact today that a penis and a vagina is required to keep the species going, not a penis and butthole.
