Because it is not. Homosexuality is not a disorder in every way, shape or form. The person in question is still able to function and behave like any other human being, the only difference being that they are attracted to the same sex.

How does classical conditioning explain the state of consciousness?
It doesn't, neither does the the framework in which it consists: Behaviourism. Chomsky didn't consider Behaviourism the correct paradigm in which to evaluate language processing (such reflections brought about cognitive psychology), so I doubt he would consider it fit for an explanation of consciousness. Behaviourism either denies mental states (philosophy) or argues that they are not given to empirical measurement (psychology), rendering them irrelevant in psychological theory. As far as I know, there are no mainstream psychological explanations for consciousness, which isn't surprising. A quick wikipedia search on philosophy of mind will tell of the difficulties in even framing questions that could be used to this end.
