Not an agenda per se, but definitely a narrative that it isn't a choice.

The only people pushing the idea of this being a choice are those people for whom it HAS TO be a choice for religious reasons. Everyone else fully understands that to suggest sexual attraction is a choice is to suggest we ALL made a choice at some point and did so having already been attracted to both sexes equally.

No one likes that.

Others, you in this thread for instance, have attempted to split the difference by suggesting that we all have temptations for sin. Of course, this is a cop out, because in this case it labels what you consider a healthy attraction to the opposite sex in you as a temptation when it's felt as an attraction to the same sex in others. You then get to declare that the choice comes when the "temptation" is acted upon. Your choice of acting upon your heterosexual feelings are fine, but their choice is bad.

Just tell them that a defect in their brain that happens to about 5% of the population causes them to like boys instead of girls. They can't help it, but it doesn't affect most people.

No, that isn't what I said

The running theme I find is that it's not that hard to explain - the hard part is figuring out how to tell them why it's wrong without sounding like a moron..... Id advise just sticking to the first half, as I don't think many people have accomplished the second half without looking like a moron.

It is a choice to engage in homosexual relations. AS far as attraction goes, that may or may not be a choice depending on the person. Also, why does it HAVE to be a choice for religious reasons? That makes no sense to me.

Not true. Hetero sex can be just as sinful if out of wedlock or if someone is promiscuous/adulterous. No difference in acting on those urges than homosexual urges in terms of sin.

I have two young children not much different in age from the OP's child. I have an aunt that has gone from lesbian to pre-op transgender. The kids also have two friends - who are twins - who have lesbian parents.

They have asked questions a couple of times. We simply tell them that sometimes, people have a mommy and a daddy, or two mommies, or two daddies, or just a mommy, or just a daddy, or maybe a mommy and a stepdad and daddy and a stepmom. But that the important thing is that all parents love their children.

We've also told them that people generally kiss other people that they love.

At their age, I figure that is enough for them to process.
