I'm always curious about people who arrive at the idea that homosexuality is a choice. For me, it was a realization rather than a choice, an orientation rather than a preference. From pretty early on, too, even though I didn't have a label for it. I even experimented with women but felt fraudulent for doing so.
When I think of choice, I think of how I go about selecting a car or ordering an entree. I usually do quite a bit of research and some test drives before I choose a car. In the restaurant case I enjoy trying new things and don't reorder them if I don't like them. Tripe comes immediately to mind.
What I want to know from the pro-"choice" people is this: how do heterosexuals go about choosing their sexuality? What are the procedures used, the benchmarks, and the metrics? Are the results of their research repeatable and verifiable? How do they know they've made the right choice and when to stop testing?
Just curious!
