| Is it wrong to be a homosexual?
This question falls into the realm of 'ethics'. Any opinion stating that something is wrong or right, fair or unfair ...etc will be relative, which means that it can be different for everybody.
Because there is not a generally accepted idea of 'wrong' or 'right'.
We can say some group of people can share the same view but this doesn't mean that it is 'law'. There is the law of gravity, which means you will fall down on your butt so quick if you jump from the roof. However, you can't say 'homosexuality is wrong' or 'homosexuality is right' because you're generalizing it. The difference is that 'it's wrong for you', which implies a personal opinion or approach.
Well, in that manner, what is right and what is wrong is simply a matter of choice.
What can be the reason for homosexuality? It can be something by birth, it can be something you learn, it can be something you want to be etc... Does it really matter? I don't really care about it.
People say 'well if we support or respect homosexuals, then it's gonna affect other people and we will have more homosexuals, we need to degrade them or tell people that it's wrong'. To be supportive and to be respectful are totally different things.
Others say 'Oh well, it's against the religion. You're either born male or female'. Is it? it's against religion? which one?  Again, those are all 'personal opinions'.
Now, the problem starts here, actually here's the real question: Will you respect other people regardless of their sexual choice? Basically I'm asking: will you accept the fact that there are other people thinking or acting different than you do?
Do you want to respect homosexual people or not? do you value people's world-views or not? are you willing to get acquianted with different lives?...etc. Honestly, opposition to something makes it more valuable. May be people against the homosexuals or lesbians need to try that strategy 
My opinion is that I'm not a homosexual but I respect homosexuals. I value them regardless of their sexual tendecy or choice. I look at them as 'human beings'. They're no different to me than a female or male or lesbians.
