Sexual Orientation or Sexual Preference?_______________________________________
I have one question for heterosexuals who think that homosexuality is
a preference: Did you choose to be heterosexual?
I know I never had a chance to choose my heterosexuality; it chose me.
(-: Not that I'm complaining... :-) What makes y'all think that homosexuals
*choose* their sexual orientation?

Responding to the question to the heterosexuals who think that sexuality is a preference: I did not choose it consciously either. But saying "it chose me" would be no more then a pun. Analysing my feelings on the subject I can fairly strongly claim that my heterosexuality is a well established habit - result of upbringing, and I now quite consciously prefer being straight. That means I would prefer it to being gay, cloning, laying eggs, mitosis, etc. as a convenience point. Little moral: when age of consent comes some people prefer to stay the way they were oriented :-).
