The point is people who believe homosexuality to be merely choice are, on average, less tolerant towards gay people. Those who believe it to be an immutable choice are less condemning, again on average.

I worded myself as I did because believing it's a choice doesn't mean you'll condemn someone for making that choice, but it becomes an option. If you don't believe it's a choice, then obviously you can't condemn someone for making that choice. So I put "may" in there. I could've put "could" in instead.
