Ryan Sorba versus Students for Liberty - "Gays at CPAC controversy"

Said controvesy can be seen here.

I think the real argument is over the application of not rights in general to homosexuals, but rather the authority being vested in them, as a protected class, to claim a violation of said rights because they are homosexual. Other groups are assigned such a power based upon their being classes of people who cannot choose whether to be a member of said class, i.e. women, racial groups, etc.. Even the most vehement of homosexual activists describe their sexual orientation as a "lifestyle choice," as most assertions that homosexuality is a biological phenomenon have been dismissed scientifically. (For example here) The argument turns on whether a special and particular power to redress "discrimination" should be vested in a group that simply makes a volitional choice? Further, should true lovers of liberty criticize those who choose to exercise their liberty by refraining from associating with people who make such choices?

There may be made a certain argument that discrimination against those without a choice as to their situation in life should be curbed, but that argument, however suspect constitutionally, is not, by any means, analogous to the one made by homosexuals. Should homosexuals be restrained in exercising their constitutional right, absolutely not, as such an infraction upon their rights represents a slippery slope to everyone's rights being infringed. However, to infringe upon the rights of all to associate with whom they wish, simply because such freedom is seen as a deleterious consequence of another's choices, is truly and unabashedly unconstitutional and averse to liberty as a concept.

Homosexuality is admitted and proven to be a choice, all choices have consequences. Even JS Mill would agree. Being free from the consequences of one's choices is by no means a constitutional right. I feel that those asserting themselves as lovers of liberty should not support anyone who would make such assertions, as it stands as totally antithetical to their espoused beliefs.

However, must Ryan Sorba be such a douche in making such a point? See, I just did it quite nicely without being a flaming idiot pandering to biases of a biased audience.
