The prison population is comprised of individuals who are 'damaged' and not representative of the human population at-large, and the prison is not a good test environment since it is missing variables that you would normally see in regular society. A flawed test structure will result in flawed results.

The prison population is an example of people who do not have control over their base desires, they act like animals, unable to repress their urges. So naturally they will do what it takes to alleviate their sexual urges, even if that means changing sexuality (like my dog who humps a stuffed bear).
I did, but not of anyone elses sexuality, that was not a part of social life.
So you did not date, did not know of people that had crushes on other kids, fictional character or movie stars, knew no other kids that dated, and had no idea that anyone was romantically or sexually active? Where did you go to school?
Or, do you just mean you didn't know any gay kids...

Is it really a choice if you have no other options? And why would a supposedly heterosexual person choose homosexuality outside of prison?
There is no documented evidence that anyone has ever legitimately changed their sexual orientation. Pretending to live in a heterosexual relationship is not changing your orientation. Please just stop talking about something you know nothing about.
This is a puzzling statement.
What sort of documentary evidence would you like?
If someone says they were once gay, but are not now, who is anyone to dispute that?
Sexual orientation is self assigned, meaning people chose the words they want to describe their orientation and no one has the right to assign any other words to it.
As to talking about something you know nothing about, a quick glance in the mirror wouldn't hurt.

Dating was against school policy, as it is in pretty much all private schools. Sure kids had crushes, but if they didn't no one assumed they were gay, they assumed they were a nerd and focused on their studies, or just someone who has accepted the fact that girls are not interested in them so why waste time and pride on the girls in return. I didn't learn who was gay in my graduating class until years later when it was revealed on facebook or something.
Why does a person choose to wear leather and get tied up? Or to go to a furry convention? Sexuality is complex.
Do you think a prison "test case" is reliable and the test results derived from it (and the associated analysis) are valid for explaining the activities of the general human population?
The test case is corrupted.
