No one has suggested that homosexuality is similar to cancer. People have suggested that both gay or bisexual or transgender (these are clumsy terms but whatever) people (especially young people) and people who suffer from cancer may be vulnerable and in need of support. I'm not sure why you are struggling with that idea.

I agree that we can't conclusively say that sexuality is determined by genetics. I'm sure it is all far more complex than that. However, we can conclusively say that it is not a choice.

If people choose it or can't help it is irrelevant. And wether it's either one I still feel every single person should be treated the same.

If we are all meant to be strictly heterosexual, how does one explain the persistent presence of homosexuals throughout human existence?
I would also note that so far it appears that homosexuality has not threatened or endangered the continued existence of the human species (all 7 billion of us).
