27. Right. A bit like "sexual preference."
It's way easier to discriminate against folks when you frame their decision as something irresponsible or impulsive or describe the way they are made as somehow being a matter of choice, like preferring thin-crust instead of thick-crust pizza.

On the other hand, you can always let a particular interpretation of a particular translation of your particular religion's holy book do your thinking for you, thus letting you off the hook entirely.
