"some people might choose"

"I think that its who you are"

WHICH IS IT FLIP/FLOP KERRY?????????????

If you CHOOSE it, it should get the same weight as those born that way? Can you CHOOSE to be Black? Can you CHOOSE to be physically handicapped (fat people not included)? Can you CHOOSE to be Native? No. Equal rights are for people who CAN'T choose their lot in life. SEXUAL PREFERENCE IS A CHOICE!

I think Kerry is just reserving the right to stick it to anybody regardless of their sex.

SEXUAL PREFERENCE IS A CHOICE!

I'm not so sure about that. I am a male who happens to be sexually attracted to women. I have never felt sexually attracted to men. I did not make a choice to be this way. It does not require any willpower on my part to avoid having sex with men. Likewise there appear to be some people who are indeed sexually attracted to the same sex or to both sexes. It is likely that they did not "choose" to be this way either. It seems to me that many people who say that sexual preference is a choice probably feel sexual attraction to both sexes and must use willpower to fight the attraction to their own sex.
