Can I have a hand-job too, please?
ahh, no.
How is it a strawman when Shagdrum would refuse to believe a homosexual's word of "I did not choose"?
First, I didn't say it was a solely conscious choice. More often it is an unconscious thing due to psychological factors; they wouldn't realize it as a choice.
Second, as I spelled out, when it comes to the area of love, sex and relationships most people are not honest with themselves. They forgive someone cheating on them or beating them when the truth is obvious for everyone around them to see. I am sure you have known people who have gotten a divorce that all their friends could see coming much earlier then when they decided to get a divorce. Or a friend that married someone that you knew they shouldn't. Very few people are honest with themselves in these areas; that is simply human nature.
This problem of self-delusion or being dishonest to ones self in this area is inherent in every category, from Bill Gates level to the homeless man on the street. It is even worse in people who are self-destructive. Considering the higher level of drug use in the gay community then in the normal population (here, here and here), the higher incidents of disease often from activities engaged in by homosexuals (here, here, here, here, here and here), the higher risk of suffering from psychiatric problems ( here and here) and the higher rates of violence and murder ( here, here and here), it can strongly be argued that a large portion (if not a majority) of the gay community is very self-destructive (in some manner) and is more prone to being dishonest with themselves in the areas of love, sex and relationships then even the normal population.
