For those who insist this is a choice, I always ask them to tell me about when they decided to be straight.
[Facetious interlude] For me, the answer is easy: it was when Stephen Boyd got to tear the antibodies off of Raquel Welch's scuba suit in
Fantastic Voyage. And no, it wasn't Stephen Boyd who stirred my manhood, although [drifting farther off topic here] he wrote later that when, as Messala in
Ben-Hur, he met Charlton Heston in the armory, he played the scene as a gay man stoked with desire. When you watch the scene with that explanation in mind, it's both creepy and hilarious, as Heston was clueless.
Back to the point, I think the Church has pretty much accepted the idea that homosexuality, at least in most cases, is
not a choice, although the behavior is. Am I mistaken?
