I don't think anyone, including myself, was arguing that homosexuality, whether a mental disorder or not, should preclude them from marriage. Again, I think they should be precluded from it because they are not members of the opposite sex. However, I think we've moved beyond this debate. I do agree with you that if it were to be a mental disorder, it would obviously not be chosen. The reason I brought up the mental disorder issue is because many Christians, myself included, struggle to understand homosexuality in terms of our faith. For example, if homosexuality is a sin(which I believe it is) how could it be innate? Why would God create people who are predisposed to a particular sin? However, I heard someone bring up the idea that perhaps it is a mental disorder or abnormality (such as being attracted to children, etc) and that it is a sin only if you act upon it. I'm not sure how I feel about this idea, but for Christians, it is somewhat better than other explanations I've heard.
