I don't like the idea of a person pleasuring themselves with fruits or vegetables, but what someone else does is a) none of my business and b) has no effect on me whatsoever, and so my opinion on the subject is of so little consequence to someone else's sexual life that I have no business talking about it as if it does matter.
The fact that you even admit that you "especially" have the problem with gay men having sex indicates that it is an emotional bias on your part, not based on anything rational.
No human being chooses who or what they are attracted to. We choose only whom we pursue. No one would honestly believe that a person chooses what physical traits one person finds attractive in another---a man no more chooses to prefer blondes over brunettes than a woman chooses to prefer thin, lanky men to beefcakes. These attractions are innate, and beyond conscious control. But, despite attraction, a person can choose to pursue someone whether they "like" that person or not.
It is no different when the question is what gender a person is attracted to. A homosexual man doesn't choose to be attracted to another man any more than a hetero man chooses to be attracted to a woman. Now, the homosexual man can CHOOSE to sleep with a woman or a man. Therein lies the difference. | From the way you defend the issue...mmm... I think you're homosexual too, right?
