I can't remember a time, ever, that I was sexually attracted to another female. I can't erven imagine it. How, then, was being straight a choice for me?

It isn't for anybody - except, apparently - jeff, HSC, and other fundies.

I suppose if I had been told all my life that my attraction to men was unnatural, disgusting and an abomination to God, I might try everything I could to find a way to be attracted to women and I'd definitely try to hide that I was attracted to men, maybe even from myself.
Homosexuals say "It is not a choice"
Heterosexuals and Bisexuals say "It is a choice"
I'm heterosexual. It was not a choice.
Now, if I was attracted to both men and women, then it would be a choice of whom I ended up being with, but not a choice as to whom to be attracted to.

Very common behaviour. And very damaging to a child/young adult. And that damage can cripple one's spirit for a lifetime.
The sooner fundamentalism is dead, the sooner the world can heal.

Well said.
I'm amazed that so-called followers of Christ can't grasp this simple truth.

I (and probably the vast majority of "straights") agree with you. I guess "Bi's" might feel differently. In fact, having to choose might be a way to know you are Bisexual.

I don't think it is a choice for bisexuals though, Mystic. They're attracted to both sexes, regardless of whom they may be in a relationship with at any given time. That doesn't mean they will choose to act on the attraction. But, Imissthe90's would be a better person to shed light on that than myself.
