i am not offering the question of, “Was i born this way?” in the spirit of then saying, “Because if i was born this way, then you should treat me fairly.” You should treat me fairly anyway, even if i have chosen something you don’t like. In the end it’s not scientific evidence that will end discrimination (the anti-gay right has been adjusting their religious argument to accommodate bio-psychological arguments) it is our account of what it is like to be us.
I have long thought that the "nature made me this way, so it's OK" arguments of pro-gay lobbyists are both fallacious and tactically misguided.

Fair is fair, regardless of science; and biological predilection should not usher in social acceptability for any stigmatised activity.
