So many conservatives and religious people think being gay is a choice because they're unknowingly bisexual and literally chose without realizing it. If you think it's a choice, you're admitting you can go either way but decided on being straight. I have been bisexual all my life but never realized it until I left religion, I didn't even realize it when I was fucking a male school friend at a sleep over, still took a few years after that to accept it.

I think there is also an element of needing it to be a choice to justify condemnation. "Homosexuality is against God's plan, also he creates gay people" is a really tough sell.
