Elton John, probably the best known homosexual, admits to being attracted to women.

Attractions come in all shapes and sizes. Attraction to same-sex, attraction to blondes, attraction to twinks, attrraction to bears, attraction to children, attraction to farm animals. And there is no evidence that it is "hard-wired" (so to speak).

It doesn’t matter if he is well known. If Elton is bisexual, he is atypical.

Attractions come in all shapes and sizes. Attraction to same-sex, attraction to blondes, attraction to twinks, attrraction to bears, attraction to children, attraction to farm animals. And there is no evidence that it is "hard-wired" (so to speak).

Don’t confuse orientation with attraction. Some men might be attracted to blond women, but their orientation is heterosexual. There is a difference. Sexual orientation determines the direction of the desire; sexual attraction determines the level of the desire. It’s also common to be attracted to someone without being sexually attracted to him or her.

There is a lot of controversy about the origin of sexual attractions. Some say hard wired, and some say environment or a combination of the two (I side with these guys). We won’t have a definitive answer until more is known about the brain.
