It matters because gay people still face a ton of discrimination from people who view gayness as a choice they are making, not as something they feel is innately part of who they are.

It doesn't matter. What matters is that there is a lot of religion-led decision making in politics so when gayness is viewed as a choice, it allows those non-secular politicians to argue that only heterosexuals should have protected rights.

But is a preference a choice or the result of your nature. Preference <> choice necessarily.

Partially yes; OTOH, there's this "reeducation camps for gays" and all these things which certain groups base on their assumption "gay is a lifestyle choice". It is not, though; and that is an important lever to make them accept homosexuals as natural and normal people.

Besides, a preference is not always a choice. I didn’t choose to prefer chocolate over coconut. I just do.
