Someone chooses homosexuality by engaging in homosexual  acts by his
own free will. The fact that he may have  latent tendancies which were
not chosen is doesn't prevent him from controlling himself. People have
inclinations to steal but they don't have to follow them. If you tell
them that it's a "valid" way of life, you just make it easier for them
to sin. If you tell them, that it's sick/abberational behavior, or that
the Torah condemns sodomy and Egyptian abominations, you encourage them
to keep straight or to get help.
