Same sex sexual attraction may be inborn or not inborn. Contrary to a big premise of SSM rhetoric, there is a lack of conclusive scientific evidence either way.
That said, sexual orientation is not one and the same as gay identity which is a socio-political construct and not sexual attraction. The language of identity politics tries to dictate a conflation of group identity and feelings of sexual desire. That conflation then extends to same sex sexual behavior. The homosexual emphasis in SSM argumentation is matched with the unmistakable demand that gay identity politics must supersede all other concerns.
Besides, SSM argumentation produces the result that SSM at law would not be a sexual type of relationship.
SSMers begin with a premise that depends not merely on identity politics but on the assertion of the supremacy of gay identity politics. That means supremacy over marriage, the law, justice and, ironically, even over the supposedly decisive role of same sex sexual attraction.
