This is an important question. If the former, then homosexuality may be regarded as a disease which, with proper treatment, may be curable. (At one point, researchers believed they had actually found the tiny portion of the brain that made people queer. It was an important first step and research is ongoing.) Once a cure is discovered, people who choose to be queer would be no different those who choose not to treat other mental disorders.
On the other hand, if being queer is simply a lifestyle choice, then it's not entitled to any legal protections. Just as you can refuse to insure, hire or rent to someone who drinks, smokes of uses illegal drugs, so you could refuse based on the individual's choice to be queer.
So which is it? Freak of nature? Or a personal choice?
