@BlackCatNinja Sooooo many slogans, all nonsense.
- Homosexuality isn't about love, it is about sex. Nothing of value is lost in a loving relationship between two men or two women, when sex is not involved. By all means, love everyone, that's good and right. Do not have sex with everyone, that's depraved and wrong. In fact, it's depraved and wrong to have sex with anyone of the same sex. Love has nothing to do with this, and to claim that it does betrays a frankly mentally ill definition of love.
- With your discussion of "harder" and "easier" choices, you leave out that controlling your urges is in fact the harder choice.
People face choices all the time, where following one's urge is made illegal or otherwise discouraged.
Working to get the money to buy something is harder than giving in to the urge to steal it, and we properly punish people for stealing. This punishment makes their lives harder. Why do people still steal, then? They don't resist the urge to do so, for whatever reason.
After you've finished a meal from a drive-through in your car, most people resist any urge to throw the trash out the window, instead of finding a proper place to dispose of it. Should we take into account whether people have the urge to throw it out the window, when we punish people for littering? Why?
If you feel the urge to relieve yourself after the meal, it's harder to find proper facilities for that, than it is to just relieve yourself in your seat as you drive. Giving in to this urge is disgusting and abhorrent to any well-brought-up individual, so most people choose the harder option of abiding by proper sanitation standards. This is also one of many sufficient reasons to be heterosexual, by the way.
Being homosexual is a choice.

@BlackCatNinja Who's to say? Anyone and everyone. It's inherent in the term "homosexual".
I am a human being who loves other people. Some of the people I love are male, some are female. This is common to the vast majority of people -- loving their fathers and mothers, loving their brothers and sisters, loving their sons and daughters. No one would have any rational basis to call me (or anyone else) "bisexual" because of that, because sex is not involved. Love and sex are not the same.
Homosexuality is not about love, it is about sex, hence the name. Confusing love and sex is dangerous, leading to exploitation and abuse, and the inability to tell the difference is a mental illness (probably psychopathy).
When there is no sex in a loving relationship, nothing of value is lost.
Sex should be involved in monogamous relationships between a man and a woman, because that's the best (indeed only) way to produce and raise children. Producing and raising children at a replacement rate is essential for society to function and sustain itself. You have to be so nihilistic (i.e., evil) as to believe that this is not a good thing, to advance any other worldview.
This is why heteronormativity is a feature of all successful civilizations, and why our own civilization will fail if we do not return to it.
