Being gay is a choice.[W:471]

Firstly, neither homosexuality nor transsexuality is an infliction. This has been proven and shown through research and information. Homosexuality is a sexual orientation, just like heterosexuality. Transsexuality is a biological anomaly/inconsistency.

As far as the second part of your post, that would be correct. Behavior is always a choice. Choosing to have sex with a female or male is a choice. Attraction isn't.

so pedophilia is also a sexual orientation and therefore cannot be changed

Pedophilia is a sexual fetish, not a sexuality. Pedophiles have no desire to form lasting bonds of any kind with the objects of their desires, children. The interest is purely sexual.

I'd argue it is more about control.

Incorrect. Pedophilia is not a sexual orientation. It is a paraphilia. It is unclear as to whether or not it can be changed.

Understand, I am not trying to be funny. If it is not a choice to be homosexual or transsexual then it is an infliction, or would you see that differently?
But that is less the level at which I would have thought choice entered the matter. Choice is, where the boy actually beds the boy, decides to visit gay bars, where he comes out of the closet or demands a baker bake his wedding cake. These things are all voluntary, I would have thought.

How is it an affliction (not 'infliction)? It doesnt harm the person. It has no negative consequences to a person.

The only harm and consequences are those inflicted (correct usage) by the ignorant of society.

No its not an inflection either hahahaha where do you people come up with this stuff. It is also clear you do not understand what sexual orientation or identity is.

Being gay (or straight or bi or trans) is what you are. Enjoy and if you can't don't take it out on others
