It's neither. Being gay is a biological issue. It's like saying someone with red hair has a personal issue.

Rights have nothing to do with acceptance. You don't half to accept a black person, but our government does. The same goes for gay people. If you don't want to accept them, don't talk to them, don't associate with them. Everyone has that freedom. But they shouldn't have a right to tell our government to discriminate against them.
