I think your friend's comment illustrates an important point, that homosexuality is a condition not a choice. He cannot understand why people would choose to be homosexual. As it happens, nor can I. It simply does not make sense. It is much more difficult to find a partner, due to the vastly smaller number of potentials; and if one does succeed in this endeavour, one has to keep it secret from family and friends until their reactions can be judged or contained. Then there is the legal discrimination against homosexual marriage.
Yes, you'd have to be nuts to be a homosexual, if one really has a choice in the matter at all.

Though perhaps slightly insensitive to Christians struggling with this issue?
Maybe a tone of voice thing.
