Thordaddy, do honestly believe anyone would actually choose to be gay? Do you have any idea how difficult it is to be gay in America? If being homosexual were some sort of "choice," no one in his or her right mind would "choose" to be homosexual.
I actually live in a region of the country where a significant fraction of the population is gay. And if you think that gay people suffer by comparison to straight people in any significant moral or ethical way, you're not just wrong, you're ignorant. I generally find gay people more intelligent, more engaging, more compassionate, more considerate, and generally more admirable than straight people. And I'm straight myself, if you think that I might in some way be prejudiced against straight people.
Are there gay people who are jerks? Of course. On the other hand, gay jerks are massively outnumbered by straight jerks.
And if you think defining the "beginning of life" is hard, try defining "normal."
As usual, you're trying to find some way to get science to support your bigotries and prejudices. It ain't gonna work.
