I think the enthusiasm for some to label homosexuality a choice is because this scenario allows them to look at an individual who is homosexual and claim that they made a conscious choice to commit immoral behaviour. If someone chooses to be immoral, then you might feel more justified in condemning their behaviour. If it's not a choice, like eye colour, then you can't play the immorality card and you're kinda left with... not much.
I submit that this group of people really don't care if it is genetic / inherited, as they're not interested in genetics anyways.
