But you're talking about sexual orientation...

No, I'm talking about sexual preference.

I can no more be attracted to the same sex than I can be attracted to fat, hairy-legged feminazis.

That's because you're normal. If, however, you would have been subjected to certain traumas during your development, such as being molested by a homosexual, that may have come out differently.

In fact, it's a very basic part of my identity, just as much as my race and gender.

Again, gender applies to grammar.

If you were attracted to others of the same sex, then your identity would be a corrupted one, such as in the case of an alcoholic or a kleptomaniac. Fortunately, we can sucessfully treat all of these aberrations. This article is simply one more example of that.

It's simply beyond comprehension that you or anyone thinks such a basic character trait is a choice.

Your comprehension appears to be limited in this matter.

Anyone who honestly believes that orientation is a myth and a choice is simply not mentally stable.

Anyone who believes that homosexuality is acceptable is a moral cripple. So there.

If you think I'm arguing that a man cannot be attracted to another man, then you are mistaken. However, when this does occur, it is an aberration and the result of a mental or moral defect (perhaps both). Orientation is not the pre-ordained destiny that some would have us believe. That is what I was stating was a myth. If I wasn't succinct enough in my earlier declaration, I apologize.

You were very clear. You said, "Orientation" is a myth, it's all a choice. In any event, your demo-esque dithering has been noted.

That's because you're normal.

No, that's because I'm me. And what makes something "normal" anyway? There are plenty of people out there who like fat, hairy-legged women. Hell, for most of human history, fat women were regarded as a status symbol, and the desire for a slender woman was considered abnormal, maybe even sick.

Again, gender applies to grammar.

ROFLMAO! Get thee to a dictionary. And while you're there, be sure to look up the meaning of "is".

If you were attracted to others of the same sex, then your identity would be a corrupted one, such as in the case of an alcoholic or a kleptomaniac. Fortunately, we can sucessfully treat all of these aberrations.

Maybe your sexual orientation is so fluid it can be changed by therapy and drugs. That certainly doesn't apply to most folks.

Look, it's a free country. If you want to find others who share your lack of confidence in sexual orientation, you're free to seek those folks out. But you should be aware that most people find the sort of fluid sexuality that you advocate to be alien at best. I wish you the best of luck in your quixotic quest.
