I also couldn't choose to not be turned on by men anymore and not to fall in love with men. I can't control my feelings to that extent. I've always been interested in boys and have never seen another woman as a potential sexual or romantic partner and I couldn't no matter how much I tried.
Are you seriously telling me that you could be attracted to someone of the same sex?

That's all fine and well, but how do we legally define a homosexual as a separate group protected by the 14th Amendment if not by actions (gay sex) or thoughts (attraction to the same sex)?
If homosexuals cannot be defined, then they are not really a group whose rights are being denied because they are not a definable group.
If individuals belong to protected groups based on nothing more than voluntary actions and thoughts, what other protected groups will emerge based only on voluntary actions and thoughts?
