Get your nose out of your holy book and love those around you. Have some empathy and realize that you are causing others to suffer needlessly. Do you choose to be attracted to the opposite sex? No. So, homosexuality, bisexuality, pansexuality and variants thereof are not choices, nor is the lifestyle "immoral".
