    To anyone that says yes, go choose to be sexually attracted to a lamp.

      exactly this.

      there is SOME latent bisexuality in everybody, i believe...but more some kind of curiosity than a true sexual preference.

      it's definitely NOT a conscious choice, and mostly determined at birth, but it CAN be affected by environmental factors...i know for a fact that my partner was interested in men only before. maybe she was bi and didn't know yet, but she WAS into men, until she had a traumatic experience forced on her by them. She's done with men now, no interest at all. Now, theoretically, years of therapy may heal that, but in praxis, i believe that she will never again be able to be sexually attracted to males. Radical, yes, but that counts as "affected by environmental factors" imho.

    I think people are born that way, I know people that I could tell were gay before we were old enough to know what gay was.

      I think you might be right but the sexuality turns out or rather gets build during puberty and on that way there are many factors that influence the sexuality and so it might be that we all are born to be hetero but our environment does the rest...

    Yes. Maybe, we don't fully understand. But being gay is the same being straight and falling for certain types of the opposite sex. It's a completely unconcious decision.

    Anyone who can't see that is, quite frankly, a mug.

    So to the people who chose
    "Not a conscious choice, it's determined at birth"

    Do they think it's based on genetics of a person?

      to an extent, maybe?

      aside from XX females and XY males, there are XX males and XY females and all kinds of weird chromosome combination/mutations like XXY.
      Derivations from the norm, but still existant.

      What i am trying to say: Take the middle ages, for example, when being homosexual was unlawful before both god and king...it was illegal, unnatural, there was no speaking about it, no media, etc,... but still homosexuality existed...and many of those from the low-level citizens didn't even understand what happened to them, some blamed demons or just ignored it all and married someone of the other sex.

      So in some way, yeah, in some cases at least(aforementioned genetic derivations) i guess it's pre-determined from birth- i did, however, choose the environmental factor thing...but i think it may be more than just that...
