Not every conservative that says you can choose your sexual orientation is gay, but that argument was started by a closeted gay conservative and was popularized by closeted gay conservatives. And that's the exact same story for most conservative bullshit. They all think they are the Standard Human™ and they feel some shame about part of themselves (because they aren't the Standard Human™) so they force that insecurity on everyone else. The rest of them follow suit as long as a line is already popular enough.
Just ask if they wake up and choose to be straight every morning. If they say yes, then you understand them. If they say no, then tell them they understand how gay people feel.
The cognitive dissonance will kick in at this point, but maybe they'll understand. Maybe...
Same logic.
