Neither. Science has pretty well established the biological basis for homosexuality, and as others have pointed out, who would freely choose to receive the scorn many in society have for gays?
Nor is it a "disease" any more than being short is. It's merely one of countless variations in what makes us human. Hating gays is as senseless as hating blacks, women, etc.
BTW I am a straight married male, and not a part of the "politically correct" crowd. Acceptance of gays is not a liberal thing nor a non-christian thing. Just a human thing.

Do some research if you really want to form an opinion. There is gay and straight and gray areas in between. There is a genetic link - More often then not a family with one gay child will have 2 gay children if they go on to produce 5 kids. Another family can have 10 that are all straight because the genetic link is not there.

It is neither. Heterosexuality isn't a disease and neither is homosexuality. For some, it is a term of endearment for what they have to go through their whole lives just because they like the same sex, and it isn't even a choice. You are born gay or straight.

Some are born with a chromosome that can make them think and act more along the lines of the opposite sex http://www.nyas.org/ebriefreps/main.asp?intSubSectionID=3576
but it is still basically a choice in the long run.
Disease NO that is only for medical insurance matters

Its A Choice

I would say neither. It's a genetic predisposition exacerbated by uterine hormones during gestation. There are some very few people who choose it.

I think it depends upon who is asking the question.

Think that's just how certain people are born.

A choice. That's why it is called a "sexual preference." People are not born with sexual preferences -- they choose them.
