I'll put the question to you again, Johannes:

How can you be so sure homosexuality is a "non-passive characteristic"? Is it something the Bible tells you? A gut feeling? How can you be so sure that you'd condemn up to 10 percent (though probably less than) of the population? How can you be so certain that someone has decided to be gay rather than inherited some genetic trait?

I have gay friends who denied and denied and denied to themselves that they were different until the pain got so unbearable that they nearly exploded. Then and only then, did they finally admitted they were gay. I know other gays who knew they were gay as soon as they hit puberty. I know another man who got married, had 3 kids, and only when he was 62 and had a nervous breakdown did he admit he was gay--that he'd been living a lie.

I am not at all certain that homosexuality--like someone's religion or political affiliation--is a non-passive characteristic.
