On a more specific and less philosophical level, did you chose your stature?; your foot size? your hairline? None of us have directly chosen any of these attributes YET we make decisions based on their naturally progressive existence (i.e., what kind of clothes and shoes to buy, what kind of hair products to use, etc.).
So it is with orientation. It is a naturally developing, God-given, human experience that is not determined by choice. What we as humans do choose, however, is how to physically respond to our natural psychological and emotional development.

Brad, I'll play along here and agree that you were born to be homosexual. Here is your problem....we were all born with the predisposition to sin. We are sinners from birth.
That said, do we excuse people from sinning because we were born that way?
That would become a problem, because then we wouldn't need the legal system to judge folks who commit crimes. One sin isn't worse than another in the eyes of God, and since He is the judge, you can't complain if someone wants to come into your house and rip you off after cutting your throat.
After all, they were born that way.
