If conservatives think being gay is a choice, what do they think are the benefits of being gay?

So to the core question - why do conservatives think someone would willingly choose to be gay in a society where the benefits are outweighed by disadvantages.

To demonize them. With conservatives it’s always about malice; “the cruelty is the point”.

If it’s not something chosen then it’s harder to justify calling for their persecution and death.
