How could you be unaware that something that you were engaging in existed?
I wasn't "engaging" in anything at that age. I just realized that I liked guys instead of girls -- even though I had no idea that such a thing was even possible.
Can you address that claim without implying (yet again) that my story is "anecdotal" and that I am therefore a liar? Whom are you going to believe: an actual gay person, or an anti-gay propagandist?

I believe empirical evidence, and none has been presented that demonstrates that homosexuality is natural.
The moral norms of society caused me to make the choice, that and natural law.
Then why do some guys choose to be homosexual? Does it work the same way that someone looks at vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice cream and decides that strawberry would feel best to the taste buds?

I've just presented empirical evidence that in my case at least, my being homosexual -- even if it can't be explained genetically -- is an innate and immutable part of who I am. In other words, it's natural.
But I suppose there's nothing you can do anymore except call me a liar, so we're at an impasse.
I linked to a throughly researched article complete with cited sources.
... one of which, upon which the entire edifice of "reparative therapy" rests, has been thoroughly debunked by its own author.
And if you're so willing to swallow that "scientific" evidence so unquestioningly, does that mean you also believe in anthropogenic global warming? What about the fact that the Earth is 6 billion years old?
If it's published in a self-proclaimed scientific article, it must be true, right?

You should learn the difference between empirical and antecdotal evidence.
No, you linked to an article from a faith-based, religious anti-gay-marriage advocacy group.

How old were you when you "chose" to be straight?
