In our lives we always have options/ choices, to chose between what is good and what is bad, most habits are personal choises. As human beings we view things differently, so what is bad for you might be good for someone else, and so goes the saying, one mans meat is the other mans poison. personally am a cigarette smoker, it offends a lot of people but its a personal preference, this habit has ruined many of my relationships (past and present), I had choices, to quit smoking and maintain the Godsend relationships I had or continue smoking and she'll pack and live, I chose the latter... I was simply pursuing my happiness, you might call it being dumb, or making wrong decisions, or whatever may suit you, but that was a choice and and never regret my decision, even if this cigarettes kill me.
and ohhh, some people are born gay, remember the nine year old boy in school back in the primary school days who played with dolls while most of us played soccer, yes that ones, in the right environment, they'll be fully blown happy fruits by 15, in the wrong environment (Africa), he'll be a sad, depressed, sexually confused young man who might easily become a pedophile... think this issues with an open mind, not the African conservative, religious extremist mind frame, we are all human what differentiates us is the choices we make in life.
