Here's my stance- go ahead and grill me:
Being gay is not something you are born with- it is a choice.

1. A lifestyle is always a choice. Being vegan and adopting a vegan lifestyle is a choice. Homosexuality is not a lifestyle. You can stop being a vegan. It's just a dietary habit...
2. Can you yourself choose to be gay if you want to? That's what you're insinuating gay people do. You cannot decide your sexuality on a whim. "oh, I can't seem to pull enough chicks on this campus, I'm going to be gay now and see if I can get guys." Or, "I haven't encountered enough adversity and hate in my life yet, I think I'll be gay and see how it is."
FYI-if you're going to quote the Bible as a reason it's immoral, I also hope you're not enjoying seafood, shaving, eating hamburgers or pork barbeque or working on the sabbath. Wait, that's the old testament, not done yet.
I also hope that you're not engaging in pre-marital sex because that is also considered immoral by Paul in the New Testament. In fact, Paul thinks you should abstain from all sexual activity, unless you cannot, in which case you need to go marry asap. Oh, one more thing-the New Testament was written largely in Greek. According to my knowledge, there's no word for homosexuality in Greek (the Greeks kinda liked that stuff), so it was shoved in much later, let's say, 10 translations down the road to be generous.
I don't care if you want to believe it's a choice-just don't try to use the Bible to justify why it's immoral. If you're not a Jew you cannot use the Old Testament to prove your point, if we start following the NT, let's remember that Paul never said homosexuality.
