I guess you have to expect bigotry in an anonymous public forum. Let's take a closer look at your argument:
"...deciding to have sex with the same or opposite sex has nothing to do with genes."
While the decision to physically have sex with someone is ultimately a conscious process of the cortex, the propensity to be sexually attracted to certain people is clearly not a conscious choice. Is there, then, really no room for genes in establishing what a person finds attractive? Really? NOTHING to do with genes? What makes you so sure? Have you personally and objectively looked at the research? From what premises have you deduced this conclusion (or is it an assumption?)?
"If a heterosexual never has sex, he/she is still a heterosexual."
So a person is predisposed to be attracted to certain people, yet the choice to have sex with these people has no effect on their sexuality? So a person who is attracted to members of the same sex yet chooses not to have sex with them is still gay? Then you can't condemn the choices they make as it has no bearing on how you judge them.
"Gays will have you believe that God wired them to allow another same sex person to have sex with them."
Have they told you this? All of them? I would think that most gay people would tell you it's a matter of physical and romantic attraction, not necessarily physiological compatibility.
"God is, obviously, not ALL KNOWING."
Ok, we've found some common ground. Let's see where you go with it...
"He forgot that a penis does not go into an anus."
Oh. Nevermind.
"Maybe gays come from all the spare parts God did not used when He made mankind?"
A bad joke? Disgusting invective hurled at people you don't understand? A poor interpretation of biology on the whole? What in the world are you saying?
"Whatever the case, gays will blame their own choices on everyone except them."
I implore you to find any well-adjusted gay person who "blames" his or her sexuality on anyone, including themselves. But here again, you condemn the choice, yet earlier you claim that choice has nothing to do with sexuality. Which is it?
"Regardless how they put it, they are saying that God made them do oral or have sodomy sex."
Swing and a miss.
"Sceintists have not established a gay gene."
How do YOU know? From what legitimate sources have YOU reached this conclusion (your pastor doesn't count)? I'm not saying you are wrong, I'm just saying that you seem to give a nod to science only when it's convenient.
"If God made you gay, did He tell you to go and have sex? Is he making you have sex?"
Wow, you really don't want gay people to have sex...
Let's get to the heart of it. You personally find gay sex disgusting. Am I correct? You find it so disgusting, in fact, that you would enforce laws that would prevent people from engaging in it, even in the privacy of their own homes? Am I wrong? Ok, then. Be honest about your beliefs. Own up to them. Embrace them. Don't disguise your contempt under a ridiculous veil of objectivity.
Oh, and don't be surprised when your ignorance is greeted with an equal level of contempt and disgust.

What strikes me as so amazing is how simple the answer to your question is!!
We 'go over land and sea' to try to educate people like yourself who obviously have no concept of what they are talking about.
Quick question for you. You say if a heterosexual never has sex, he/she is still a heterosexual. By that are you inferring that if a homosexual who decides to never have sex is a heterosexual? That the actual decision to have gay sex is what makes a gay man a gay man? That is so wrong that it amazes me.
When you give up the idea of god playing lifeguard at the gene pool, come back and try again

Deciding to have sex with the same or opposite sex has nothing to do with genes, but having sexual arousal and interest in a person of the same sex has been determined to be genetic by scientific researchers who specialize in human sexuality. If a homosexual never has sex, he/she is still a homosexual.
In regards to what parts fit where, if they didn't fit it would not happen.
The problem is as to why those who dislike gays go over land and sea in trying to convince them that it IS a choice.

i understand precisely the way you sense, i do in comparison to turnips the two. i think of i will see the place they are coming from, in spite of if i do no longer trust them. i'm bisexual, and that i would be unable to appreciate why some truthfully everyone seems to be totally fascinated in one intercourse, and not the two, yet I settle for the undeniable fact that they've been unlucky sufficient to be born that way. it constantly seems to be like human beings claiming to be at once that say this, you in no way hear of a gay or bisexual individual asserting that being at once is a decision. perhaps this is something to do with intelligence, an clever individual would be waiting to appreciate extra complicated techniques than somebody who's mentally challenged. it must be because of the undeniable fact that gay and bisexual human beings have first hand journey, so as that they understand this is an in-born trait, yet that doesn't clarify why a at once individual would be unable to verify that being at once isn't a decision. Or does the undeniable fact that gay and bisexual truthfully everyone seems to be oftentimes above prevalent intelligence have some bearing right here?

Okay first of all yes sex is a choice but love isn't.
Secondly, scientist don't agree on a gene but they however agree on a hormonal deficiency but there is however proof that there is a gene in fruit flies that makes them homosexual.
Thirdly not all gay people believe in god I believe this point has been established
Lastly I know a celibate gay man does that prove anything to you?
And just so you know your question (a.k.a. ignorant rant) is very offensive to some people gay and straight alike. gay people would find your under educated rant offensive, straight conservatives would hate the part about the non-omnipatent god.
Personally I am straight and hate ignorance with a passion.

Why do gays go over land and sea in trying to convince the world that it's not a choice?
Maybe because it isn't a choice? Being gay isn't just about having sex man with man. Being gay also means wanting to have a loving and lasting relationship with a person of the same sex.
And, since when are men's anus's the only ones penis's go into? Plenty of women have anal sex and many actually enjoy it.

I've never heard of a homosexual person saying that having sex with someone of the same gender (anal, oral, or otherwise) isn't a choice. They are trying (and rightfully so) to make those who are otherwise ignorant aware that wanting to be with someone of the same sex, or being in love with someone of the same sex is not a choice. It may be a choice to act on homosexual feelings and urges, but having those feelings and urges is not a choice. Think about it, most homosexuals have to deal with a lot of ridicule and prejudice...why would someone choose that lifestyle if it wasn't how they truly felt? Furthermore, if someone has such homosexual feelings, they should not be scorned into suppressing them.

>Why do gays go over land and sea in trying to convince the world that it's not a choice?
Two reasons:
1. Homosexuality is in fact not a choice.
2. Those who wish to infringe on the rights of homosexuals often use the flawed argument that homosexuality is a choice in an attempt to validate their prejudice.
Homosexuals wish to avoid this prejudice, and so they refute the claims of the prejudiced people by showing them scientific evidence that homosexuality is not a choice.
>Being genetically wired to be tall or short, is out of the control of the individual. However, deciding to have sex with the same or opposite sex has nothing to do with genes.
That is correct. However, being sexually attracted to a certain gender IS mostly based on genetics. Homosexuals can choose not to have sex, or even to have sex with people of the opposite gender, but they CANNOT choose to be sexually attracted to people of the opposite gender.
>Gays will have you believe that God wired them to allow another same sex person to have sex with them.
Some of them believe that. Others believe that God does not exist at all. Still others believe that God exists, but that humans were not created by God as they are, instead evolving slowly from primordial slime over the course of billions of years.
>If God made you gay, did He tell you to go and have sex? Is he making you have sex?
No, God does not tell homosexuals to have sex, nor does he make them have sex. Note that this does not mean that having sex with someone of the same gender is immoral. So long as homosexuals are not harming any innocent people by having sex with people of the same gender, there is nothing immoral about it and they are morally free to do it if they want.

Having sex is with ANYONE is a choice. That's not in debate.
Being only attracted to the same sex over the opposite sex has NOTHING to do with choice. That is why being Gay is not a choice.
So, NO. No one is saying that sex is not a choice. You're completely off. You can be gay and never have sex.
Homosexuality is about attraction and love, not sex, so get over your self.

It does have a way with how you are born. You see, sex is between the legs, but orientation just like gender is between the ears.
That is why transgendered people are welcomed in the gay community. We understand and respect the difference. It's very simple, really.
