No, it doesn't. Again, people make all kinds of irrational and illogical choices. People struggle with anger, depression, alcoholism, and an assortment of other challenges for which there are no easy explanations. There are even some people who just plain choose to be unhappy.

The allusion that all choices and all circumstances have logical and reasonable explanations except the choice to be gay is totally untenable.
